The men's kayak team is dominated from paddlers from the local club with Adam van Koeverden, Rob Clarke, Brady Reardon and Chris Mehak on the nine-member team. Oakville's K.C. Fraser, who paddles for Balmy Beach, was named to the women's kayak team. Mark Oldershaw, Paul Bryant and Aaron Rublee will represent Burloak on the men's canoe team. The team was chosen based on the national team trials held earlier this month in Gainesville, Ga. The Canadian team will compete in three World Cups: this weekend in Montemor-o-Velho, Portugal; May 22-24 in Duisburg, Germany; and May 29-31 in Copenhagen, Denmark. World Cup races will be used to finalize the Canadian team for the Pan Am Games and world championships.

Oakville won 14 of 16 games against Burlington Bulls squads in the Corbett's Cup, a competition which sees the two associations square off in exhibition games at a wide range of age levels. The tournament (sponsored by Corbett's Source for Sports) returned this year for the first time since 1994, when Burlington was the champion. All but two of Oakville's 14 wins came by five runs or more, and the A's prevailed by an average of 7.5 runs per game. Victorious Oakville teams included the minor rookie, rookie Tier 1 and 2; minor mosquito Tier 1, 2 and 3; mosquito Tier 1 and 2; minor peewee Tier 1, 2 and 3; peewee Tier 1 and 2; and minor bantam Tier 2 squads. "I think The Dugout, the new indoor training facility in Oakville, definitely is a huge asset for Oakville baseball... It's children getting positive reinforcement and a chance to practise core skills regularly and frequently," said Tony Busseri, who is the Oakville Minor Baseball Association's vice-president of rep as well as the head ously on adjacent diamonds. Many teams played their tournament contest Saturday morning and then headed directly for their respective association's opening-day ceremonies. "There is a good friendship between the organizations, and it gives the kids a chance to play early in the year," said Busseri, adding he hopes the tournament will be held again next year. "The feedback we got from our players on average was that they really felt a good vibe around playing the games... We in Oakville played this up a bit with a friendly rivalry, but also organizationally, saying, `We're acting as one here. Let's see what we can do as a group.'" The OMBA's opening-day celebration at Oakville Park featured the 540 Golden Hawks Marching Band leading a player parade of 31 house league and 18 rep teams onto the field, Oakville councillor Marc Grant (the acting mayor for the month of May) throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, and country music artist Kaitlin Kozell singing the national anthem. Following the ceremonies, the minor midget A's defeated the Brampton Royals 9-3 in their debut in the newlyformed Midget Elite League. -- Jon Kuiperij Members of the Oakville Minor Baseball Association's coach pitch Dodgers house league team are pictured with the banner they made for last weekend's opening-day ceremonies. | photo submitted coach of the major rookie Tier 1 A's. "Multi-sport athletes are able to continue to play other sports (during the winter) so they don't come in as frequently. But whether it's once a week or once every two weeks for athletes to come in and stretch their arm and get their core mechanics down, I think it's excellent to keep skill fresh and continue to improve it." Oakville's dominance of this year's tournament aside, Busseri was also pleased with the atmosphere the Corbett's Cup helped generate at facilities such as Burlington's Sherwood Forest Park, where several games were played simultane- This ad is courtesy of & ­ Proud Supporters
