It was a crisp Autumn morning on Tuesday 13th March when President Shirley welcomed the Grade 2 Pennant team from North Haven. Pennant results for that day - Grade 2 Port City (1) drew with Port City (2) and North Haven defeated Port City (3) on the final match of the Grade 2 pennant making it an overall win to the Port City Grade 2 (1) taking out the flag for this year. Congratulations were given by President of North Haven Deidre and also President Shirley for this result with best wishes to the team for the next step to compete in the Regional Play-offs at Port City on May 15th/16th.
