The weather was perfect and the atmosphere elegant over the weekend. It was the perfect setting for the 28th annual Polo for Heart, held at the Gormley Polo Centre in Richmond Hill. And on top of it all, there was some great polo action. More ... Filebank Records junior rookies (K3) played host to their fellow King team, Tile Source (K1) in their first meeting of the season last week. Filebank Records used some stellar defence to get off to a strong start against a Tile Source team that has been hitting the ball with authority of late. More ... Christian represents what this year's minor bantam rep team is all about; youth and inexperience, but possessing a willingness to work hard to improve. As a peewee-age player moving up a division, Shortill had to ask for a tryout and has not disappointed. The Nobleton native has played mainly second base, compiling the team's third highest batting average to date and fielding his position with growing confidence. The coaches hope to eventually move Christian behind the plate as the season moves along and his arm strength increases. More ... With another season getting nicely under way for the King City Youth Soccer Club, there's been some good and bad news for the Kasali Hair Studio crew in the under-8 boys loop. They posted a nice 5-2 victory June 12 at the expense of Bank of Montreal, but they were doubled 4-2 the following Tuesday night by Primus Canada. More ... The Fireplace Stop in Schomberg will be hosting a charity golf tournament July 10. Aimed at honouring the memory of the late Mildred Leonard, Maureen Murphy and Don Wickett, the annual tournament will be held at Cardinal Golf Club on Highway 9. More ... There was plenty of fun to be had recently at the arena in Nobleton. King Township and the Kingbridge Centre hosted a Swing into Spring event, complete with lots of games, food and other fun stuff. Everyone on hand received a "King Blooms" T-shirt, including Emily and Jake Colautti and their parents Diane and Dan. More ... Selba Kitchens were in a tight contest June 14 with their MAQ foes in under-10 girls' play in the King City/Schomberg soccer house league. In the end, the Kitchen ladies came out on top of the 3-2 final. Mikaela Tierney collected two of the goals in the winning cause, while Ariana Maniatis scored the other one. Amelia Fortnum was player of the game. More ... It was a close match June 14, but Orr and Forrester Insurance prevailed in the the end 3-2 over King Bible Church in under-10 boys' play in the King City/Schomberg Soccer House League. Sean Westerhoek was a three-goal man for his mates, earning player of the game recognition in the process. More ... The combination of baseball smarts with inherited athletic abilities gives the bantam rep Cobras one of the more versatile players on the roster. Brady has anchored the infield from his shortstop position for the first six games of the schedule, played the outfield periodically and taken a regular turn on the mound. At the plate, his ability to lay down a bunt or make contact on a hit and run makes him an ideal number two hitter in the lineup. After a nice stint in house league play, it was time for him to move up to the rep level. Look for this young man to follow his brother to KCSS in September and make a significant contribution to its baseball program. More ... |
