April 12 Reginald Ryan
The league extends condolences to the Ryan family on the passing of Reg Ryan, on March 14. Reg last played in our league in 1989. There are only a handful of guys still playing who would have played with him or had known him. But it needs to be said that Reg had a significant impact on the creation and development of our league which extends back now almost fifty years. He was a driving force in the building of the Bill Rahal field complex and was instrumental in bringing Ted Williams to our province to open the facility. Many wonderful pictures of that visit are contained on our website with Reg front and centre. Rest in peace Reg.

Brooks Law have the upper hand needing only one point, a tie or win, in their final two games. Tonight against already eliminated Holdens Courier. Or Saturday morning against Keyin College who have already clinched a spot. Pops Pub must sit and wait and hope for a tiebreaker. No pressure? You never know what will happen when things tighten up.

September 17 Scenarios
After a Saturday of eight games and two per team, what have we learned? If you have seven or eight points you play next weekend. If you have eight points a win will get you at least a tie-breaker for first or second. Seven points and with a win you will need some luck to get a tie-breaker for the same. Six points and you earn at least a tie-breaker to play next weekend and with a win you still may have a chance at a tie-breaker for second. Any points less than six and you still have a shot at getting to next weekend. If all the home teams win tomorrow, no playoffs are required for next weekend. If all the home teams lose tomorrow, again, no playoffs are required to get to next weekend. But the possibility that four teams may tie for second exists, which could result in three tie-breaker games being required on Sunday and week nights. Stay tuned.

September 23 Playoff Weekend Becomes Clearer
The playoff situation for this weekend got a little clearer and will be straightened out tonight, maybe.

TLC Nursing and Home Care have been eliminated from further competition. All teams with six points will play the weekend and tonights game may tell whether Humby Walsh or Brooks Law see further action. A Humby win versus Holdens results in a four way tie for third and eliminates Brooks. Of the round robin games among those four tied teams Caines Grocery and West End Club have four points and Keyin College and Humby have two. Caines beat West End so they are awarded third and West End fourth. Humby beat Keyin so they are awarded fifth and Keyin sixth. If Humby lose to Holdens then Humby are elminated and there is a three way tie for third. West End, Caines and Keyin have each won a game in the matches they have played together so final positions are decided by plus minus with West End third, Caines fourth, and Keyin fifth. Brooks finshes sixth. If the game is a tie tonight.there is still a three way tie for third with positions decided as above. Humby and Brooks would then play a playoff game for sixth Friday night.
