Boundary Women’s Softball League will be on the Midway ball field this weekend as they hold their wind-up tournament. There are four teams in the league representing players from Beaverdell to Christina Lake.
Last year the tournament was taken by the Grand Forks Liquor Store Chicks and, though the names on the trophy for the previous two years may be different, it was won all three of those years by the same team. They just have a new sponsor now. They were once sponsored by the Winnipeg Hotel and known as the Winnie Chicks, but are now sponsored by the Liquor Store and More in Grand Forks.
The other three teams are from Rock Creek, Greenwood and Beaverdell.
The first game starts at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Action resumes on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. with five more round robin games—a new one every 90 minutes.
The double knockout component begins at 4:30 p.m. Saturday; with another game scheduled for 6 p.m.
Sunday games are set for 9:30, 11:00, 12:30 and the final game at 2:30.
Every team entered is guaranteed five games. The Greenwood team will host a beer garden and Jerry Watson will run a concession out of the arena grill.
