A long day as weather took a toll on ferries, and delayed the last 2 games, but all were played and memories filed.
It is unfortunate that many FVSL participants are still at the ferries all of Sunday and will need to stay Sunday night as well.
At least they earned a win, and along with that trophy, they will have another trophy that I’m sure they “accidentally” acquired when nobody was looking.
We thanks all our League partners for making the day so enjoyable.
Results wise, here is the break down of the day.
