Quality defence and timely hitting was a recipe for success this past weekend in St. Lazare as the Neepawa Midgets went undefeated to advance to the ‘AA’ Midget Provincial Championship July 15-17 in Oak River/Hamiota.

The team is made up of a mixture of boys from Neepawa and Minnedosa who finished in first place during league play. At the regional tournament, they defeated Gladstone 6-5, Binscarth 3-2 and Oak River 12-11 during the round robin portion of the weekend. The club then went on to beat Oak River 6-2 in the final, to secure a place in the provincials.

If you would like to make the short trip to this year’s provincials, you can cheer on our boys in the round robin during the following times: Friday, July 15 at 8:30 am versus Bonivital White Sox (in Oak River), Friday afternoon at 1:30 pm against Grosse Isle (in Hamiota) and Saturday, July 16 at 1:30 pm versus Dauphin (in Hamiota).

Congratulations to the players, coaches and manager. Good luck this weekend!
