Jeremy Shortt | Senior baseball in Norfolk | Smart Ports Podcast | Episode 9

Smart Sports Podcast

This week we are going to focus on senior baseball.

The Southern Counties league made a return five years ago after a long absence. And this weekend the league is hosting its championship tournament, so Shortty and I are going to talk about how the league returned, and where it’s going.

The tournament begins FRIDAY (although Shortty said Saturday). So go down to the ball park and cheer these guys on.

SHOUT OUTS

In a busy week in local sports, the first shout out goes to the Norfolk Timberwolves.

The bantam boys and midget girls did an amazing job of representing the county at the Ontario Lacrosse Association Festival in Whitby. Both teams went and conquered, bringing home the gold.

Congratulations to both teams. What a great accomplishment.

The next shout out goes to the Farmers of Norfolk Football Association. On Sunday, the FNFA held its annual soccer tournament featuring migrant workers from more than five countries representing our local farms. What a great success. Next year I can’t wait to dig a little deeper about the tournament.

Final shout out goes out to the Lights and Sirens 3-pitch tournament. This was the fifth year for the event and last Saturday 12teams battled it out at Win-Del park for a great cause. Led by Michael Bollert, the tournament run by the Law Enforcement Torch Run, raised money for local Special Olympics. It really was a great time. I was out there umpiring all day, and everyone had a great time for an even greater cause.
