Hi everyone:
Just a friendly second reminder that early registration ends December 1st.
After that the fee slides from $130 to $150
So don’t get stranded at third base, round home and get that early price while you can.
Thanks again for your support and for helping improve our League.

Hello Everyone
Please join me in congratulating Shebeen’s on winning the league championship after an exciting and hard fought final against Not The Grille
It was a terrific game that capped off a great season, and both teams deserve full credit for their effort and sportsmanship.
Well done to Shebeen’s on bringing home the championship and thanks again to all the players, coaches and supporters for making this season such a success.
Already looking forward to next season.
Tony
Hi all,
The regular season has been completed and the playoff seeding standings are:
The first place team (Shebeen’s) gets a bye and the remaining teams play
in the quarter-finals on Monday September 8:
There will be a picnic for all players, spares, scorekeepers in the pavilion at
Dunton Park after the games. Pizza is being supplied by the Association, so
bring some beverages and chairs, and any other food you want.
NOTE: Captains will be collecting the jerseys from the teams that do not
advance to the semi-finals, so bring an extra shirt to wear after the game.
Mike
Hello again,
Our rainout days this season saved us money.
The league’s executive has decided to use the savings to provide pizza at the picnic.
Choices will be the same as at our May Meeting: Pepperoni, Hawaiian, Canadian and Vegetarian. Pizza is to arrive at noon.
Please bring whatever you would like to drink.
As the first place team has a bye, we invite them to come to cheer on teams during our first day of playoffs and enjoy pizza.

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.
Sandy
Due to the rain and field conditions, all games scheduled for today are cancelled.
Thank you for your understanding.
