Congratulations to Ray Hipolito (organizer & player) and Cheryl Tenn who played in the Philippines International Slo-pitch Tournament representing Canada. They brought home the Championship!!!!
In addition, Ray also spends each winter in the Philippines supporting local communities supplying donations of bats, balls, sweaters, shoes, and other related ball equipment. This allows these groups an opportunity to participate in softball that would otherwise not be available to them.
Terry Jackson, our Board Member responsible for Tournaments,
with help from Jane Lemoyne, arranged a game on Wednesday, June 28'th,
against a team from Rexdale.
We are hoping this is the start of future opportunities for ESSA women
to participate in one-of games and tournaments.

Players: Bettina Samson, Bing Young, Cheryl Tenn, Dave Williams, Diane De Souza, Eric Burton, Gregg (Mac) Macaulay, Ian Schell, Jan Macaulay, Mike Peterson, Sandy DiLena, Sherry Botnick, Ted Ward, Tony Peluso, Vince Pileggi.
Our ESSA slo-pitch team played in the Recreational Division and played 8 games over the 2 days. We played: 2 London teams, Shakespeare (Stratford area), Peterborough, and Barrie. Due to some last-minute rule changes by tournament organizers, game lineups had to be totally changed and Mac and Jan did a masterful job of keeping us organized. On the first day we played with the 11" womens Incrediball, a surprise to all teams; the next morning we switched back to the 12" mens Incrediball. Our team made it to the Bronze Medal game and finished 4'th overall.
There is a tremendous amount of work and coordination that goes on before and during a tournament like this. The team and ESSA would like to acknowledge Mac, Mike, Terry and Jan for all the effort put into fielding a team and through their leadership & organization providing us such a memorable experience.
The coaches, Mac & Mike appreciated and would like to thank the team for all their effort and cooperation. It was indeed a great team effort from everyone. An enjoyable few days of slo-pitch and comradery.
