Hi, this is Fred Wallace with ” Off the Wire “,….. proudly sponsored by Pete’s Auto Body.

The Grey Bruce ladies fastball League is back in action tonight with a pair of games at Desboro
At 7 pm, the Tara Ladies meet The Bears followed by the Desboro Royals going against the Port Elgin Diamond Devils
Those 4 clubs, along with the Leeky Canoe of Meaford and the Allenford Gators are coming off a busy Sunday in which all 6 teams were in action in a tripleheader at Allenford.
There were 3 games staged consecutively starting at 4:30 pm in a concept that I think has marvellous potential if conducted on an annual basis.
Let’s say the Ladies pick one Sunday every year, maybe at Allenford, or wherever, and make it their League Showcase day with every team in action.
In those cases were they may have an odd number of league teams, hopefully expanded and not contracted, invite an out-of-league ladies team or Junior team to round out the field.
– Get a sponsor for the day.
– Have a barbeque.
– Put a bouncy castle somewhere in the park ( presumably nowhere near where a softball might fly ),
– Run a young girls clinic or have youth Girls All Star Game.
I like the Grey Bruce Ladies Fastball League because they’re organized and efficient. And truthfully, the potential for their annual tripleheader has all kinds of possibilities.
