CARNDUFF

Carnduff hosted the 2023 U11 Open Minor Girls Â鶹ÊÓƵ (White) Provincial Championships on the weekend of July 7-9. The softball tournament had eight participating teams from seven communities including the Estevan Elite, Neudorf Red Sox, Churchbridge Chargers, Moosomin Predators, Yorkton Crush and the Gravelbourg Lightning.

 The opening ceremonies where on Friday at 5:30 p.m. on diamond one. Games started as a round robin on Friday and Saturday and depending on results teams got divided into “A” and “B” championship rounds on Sunday.

It was a hot weekend with lots of parents, siblings and supporters in attendance, all finding shade where they could or creating their own. The baseball diamond food shack was open for drinks and if anyone got hungry. Each game had announcers in the booth to keep score and tell the crowd who was at bat.

The winners of the “A” Championship round and of the whole tournament was the Moosomin Predators. Their final competitors had been the Gravelbourg Lighting who lost the last game only by one run, with a final score of 7 – 6. Proving once again to be close skilled rivals having lost their first game together, the day before, at another very close game of 11 – 8, in Moosomin’s favor.

In the “B” Championship the Carnduff Cosmos A team lined up and played against the Carnduff Cosmos B team in the first round. Both teams played hard and stacked up the second highest collective runs of a game in the tournament. But in the end it was Carnduff Cosmos A that won 20-13 on lucky diamond 1.

Later that Sunday, after a short break, The Carnduff Cosmos met with the Churchbridge Chargers on the field. The Chargers had back-to-back games having just beaten the Yorkton Crush with a close game of 19-15. The final game of “B” round was won by the Chargers with a score of 12-4.
