The GOFL also decided on entering the ISC II Home League Program and has informed the ISC that the league is willing to send a team or teams to Eastern Ontario Challenge Cup in August 2007.

News on the league and other fastball in the area will continue to be published on the online “blog” at http://fitzroyfastball.blogspot.com and the league will soon unveil a new website in the near future.
