There was plenty of rec co-ed softball action on the weekend as the Rock Creek Rednecks hosted a tournament that brought together five teams – two from Kelowna and three from the Boundary. The round robin component gave each team four games, with the best four moving on to double-knockout competition on Sunday. The host Rednecks were from Rock Creek, the Green Necks team combined players from Greenwood and Grand Forks, while Beaverdell
and Grand Forks ballplayers teamed up to put Nuts and Honeys on the field. The two Kelowna teams were Colleen’s Twisted Recycled Cowboys and the Bullet Dodgers. The two Okanagan teams had been pulled together by friends and relatives and when the rosters were drawn up it was like family feud on the field – with cousins, siblings, wives and husbands all mixed up between the two. When the two teams met in the final game there was one player on the Cowboys who wanted to use his favorite bat, so he went over to the equipment rack at the Dodgers dug-

out and got it. In fact, many on the Kelowna team had grown up in the Boundary – coming from Davidson and Van Oyen families up in Christian Valley. The four teams going into the Sunday playoff round were the Rednecks, Twisted Cowboys, Bullet Dodgers and the Green Necks. The Rednecks played the Twisted Cowboys at 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., with a 2 p.m. game against the Bullet Dodgers. The local team was able to win their first but couldn’t get past either Kelowna team in their afternoon games. In order for the Twisted Cowboys

to earn their spot in the finals, after their loss in the first game of the double knockout, they had to beat the Green Necks at 12:30 p.m. and the Rednecks at 3:30 p.m. They were able to do it, but it meant they had little rest before having to take the field at 5 p.m. for the finals against a somewhat rested Bullet Dodgers. The Dodgers played against Nuts and Honeys in the last of the round robin games early Sunday morning. They then went on to win two double knockout games (at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.) to be placed in the finals against the Cowboys. Continued on page 3
