The best thing that could have happened to the Wilson Niblett fastball team on the holiday weekend would have been to be rained out in the All Ontario finals at Kemptville. It rained; but not enough. The Niblett team got to play two games losing the first one 6-0 to (‘ardinal and the second one 4-1 to Brockville. (tutsville. ST.

SUSAN HOLVIK I should also mention that another miss, 13~year-old Susan Holvik of 332 Kerswell Drive.

I‘ve been putting off this last note to the last. It was bad news for the Wilson Niblett fastball entry in the All Ontario at Kemptville. It didn’t rain enough. The Niblett boys lost 6-0 to Cardinal and 4-1 to Brockville and that was it. As I said, it was a rotten weekend. Thanks a fot, weatherman. CINDY NEALE Finally.

RIVER‘S END The second game was scheduled between rainfall number 10 and rainfall number 11 at No. 33 ballpark. I couldn‘t find it. My map had the dot right in the middle of the Thames River which apparently runs through London. ~ So I looked for a bridge with a ball diamond on it. No luck. ‘I couldn‘t even find the river let alone the park. And I‘d probably be still wandering around London if a flash flood hadn’t washed me back to Woodstock and thence to Richmond Hill. The big winner was St. Catharines who will now travel to Newfoimdland for the Canadian championships. She also won the Grand Prix Kur (dressage ridden to music) and placed second in the Intermediare II event on Martyr. Riding a second horse, Equus.
