Newfoundland and Labrador

This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on December 8, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Baseball is alive and well in Upper Island Cove. The Upper Island Cove Bulldogs wrapped up a great season earlier this fall at the Newfoundland Amateur Baseball Association meetings in Gander.

At the awards reception, Tiffany Janes of Bryant’s Cove was awarded the Stephanie Bavis Memorial Award for provincial Female Player of the Year for 2008.

Bulldogs President, Scott Adams, received the Les Noseworthy Memorial Award for outstanding contribution to the growth and development of baseball in Newfoundland and Labrador. Scott Mercer, the Vice-President of the Bulldogs, was re-elected to the NABA Executive as Eastern Director, while Scott Adams was elected as the NABA Treasurer.

In 2009, several championships will be hosted at Upper Island Cove. In addition, the Bantam Girls Team will travel to the 2009 National Bantam Baseball Championships later on.

Mr. Speaker, congratulations are in order to all three individuals and I ask all hon. members to join me in wishing them every success in 2009.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
