The 9U White Team Wins EBA’s Lloyd McConnie Memorial Tournament!
Thanks to a tremendously dedicated volunteer team led by Jack Gray, our boys enjoyed a great weekend of baseball. We sincerely appreciate all the volunteers’ commitment to making the weekend a success!
The boys demonstrated incredible resilience, winning two straight tournaments and a 5-0 record on the weekend! They outscored their opponents 102-15, with no teammates on the bench, battling the heat. Their sharp defence and top-to-bottom power are a great combo!
The team is eagerly anticipating their next challenges. The next tests will come at their last AAA tournament, followed by the EBAs and OBAs. They are excited to rise to the occasion and battle their EBA rivals again. However, their goal is not just to participate but to settle unfinished business at the OBAs!

Royal York Cardinals 10UAA Win MNBA Tournament in Mississauga!
Through wind, heavy rain, sandstorms and multiple game delays, the boys in baby blue kept their focus, going undefeated in five games.
Facing tough rivals and tournament hosts the Mississauga North Tigers in the final, the ‘flock’ played tight D, pitching multiple three up three down innings. Up 4-3 in the seventh and final inning, the Cardinals won the game with hot bats and cool Kiermaier-worthy catches.
The Cardinals season continues into the summer on their way to the TBAs in August where they hope to add a few more rings to their fingers.
Go Cards!
