Early Season thoughts from the Tri-County League

It's early, most teams have 3 to 4 games into the season but here is my thoughts on the start of the season.

Harwood Corners 4-0: They have always been in the top half of the league and thats probably where they will finish, but have been a early surprise.

Innerkip Eagles 3-0: Defending Champs will be hard to beat this year, pounded Woodstock 12-0 just to show that they will not give up thier crown easily.

Simcoe Red Devils 2-0: The reincarnated version of the Simcoe Jrs from 2 years ago should be on the A side come playoff time.

Ayr Vics 2-1: Pitching will be thier make or brake spot for the year after Dwayne Oberle retired. Brad Thomson will be relied upon heavily.

Woodstock Kelseys 2-1: Looking to get back to the top of the league after losing in the finals to Innerkip last year.

Hickson Heat 2-2: The offence has been a early surprise and they will need it to keep up, if not they are in for a long year cause the pitching leaves much to be desired.

Ingersoll Masters 1-1: Last years B champs will end up on the B side by the end of the year.

Straffordville Express 1-1: The question will be how far can Jason Nesbitt carry this team?

Burgessville Bulls 1-2: If Neil MacDonald has a good year they will be fine.

Innerkip Jrs 1-3: Hitting won't be the problem, pitching will.

Mt. Elgin Mets 1-3: The loss of Dave Rooke will hurt this team, only having 2 pitchers will be thier downfall.

Norwich Storm 1-3: A dissapointing start, but should be fine after adding Luke Raymer to thier pitching staff.

Ingersoll Crush 0-2: Another team off to a slow start but should be fine with Adam Martin back again.

Pt. Burwell Lakers 0-2: should be another long year in the Port. will be on the B side come playoff time.


The Woodstock Kelseys are hosting thier annual tournament this weekend at Southside Park. Action starts at 11 on both Saturday and Sunday with the playoffs on Monday.
