While I am glad to see that there is coverage of the Games in the Telegram, this story is completely one-sided to the losing team! No pictures of the winning team, and little mention of their efforts. Did you know that Avalon defeated St. John's North 12-4 in round robin play, yet St. John's still managed to win the Gold? Obviously the writer is an Avalon supporter. The winning team should be given a fair shake, and due recognition for their accomplishment!!





congratulations to both teams ,they played very well but for dave to say the writer was an avalon supporter i personally take offence to that comment .i can say that the umpire was an st.john's supporter if thats the case since the strike zone was competely non-existent while avalon was pitching!!!!
