A very happy group of eight, nine and 10 year old boys will soon be playing in a really big baseball tournament.

This weekend, the Central Saanich Little LeagueB次元官网网址檚 9/10 Division team will be in North Vancouver for the provincials for teams in their age class. Assistant coach Brad Weinmeyer says the team went 7-0 through their district finals last weekend.

B次元官网网址淔or Central Saanich, this hasnB次元官网网址檛 happened in the long time,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭he only other time B次元官网网址� for this age group, was when current NHLers Jamie Benn and Matt Irwin were both on the team over 15 years ago.B次元官网网址�

Central Saanich won those division games quite handily (the closest score was 17-11 over Layritz) but Weinmeyer said they expect the competition this weekend on the North Shore to be stronger.

B次元官网网址淐entral Sannich B次元官网网址� has waited a long time to call themselves the District 7 champions,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭his was a total team effort with every player contributing to help capture the title. We said all week we were going to play for Central Saanich and not individual play and the team came together and did just that and us the coaches couldnB次元官网网址檛 be prouder.B次元官网网址�

The team is coached by Joe Scalzo and assisted by Weinmeyer and Kevin Salmons. They will take the team over to compete against the best the province has to offer, starting Saturday, July 15 against power house East Vancouver.
