Annual Picnic September 3rd

To All Players (including our Valued Spares, Scorekeepers, and other Fans) 

We are planning the annual picnic at the Dunton Park Pavilion. It will take place after the last regularly scheduled games on September 3rd . 

We hope all of you will bring your lunch and join us. We know that The Mud Hens has a bye that day. It would be great to see team members there.

What would an ESSA event be without a 50/50 Draw, so please bring your cash.

Concerning barbecues,  it is not our intent that the league provide them. We understand some players have their own and want to let them know they are welcome to bring them. 

Looking forward to seeing you.

Games on July 15th will be 7 innings

Hi everyone,

Due to the extreme heat and humidity forecasted for tomorrow, Wednesday, July 16, 2025, we’ll once again be playing 7-inning games instead of the usual 9.
This decision is being made with player safety in mind, especially as temperature and humidity levels rise throughout the morning.
Please make sure you keep well hydrated during your games. Let’s prioritize health and safety while still enjoying some good slo-pitch

Good morning

Due to the recent rainfall, the diamonds have become unplayable. As a result all games scheduled for today Monday May 26 are cancelled.

ESSA’s Championship Game

Congratulations to the Irish Sheebeen Pub for their Championship game victory!

Shebeen’s followed up last year’s win for their 2nd championship in a row in a hard-fought battle with Roto-Rooter. Both teams played outstanding ball all year and didn’t disappoint in this year’s final.  Just a 1 run game!! I’m sure both Terry Jackson and George Cushing are very proud of their teams’ achievements this year.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Annual Fall General Meeting & Banquet onWednesday, October 2nd at 10:00 am at the Canadiana Restaurant.
