1972 HL Girls (Tulips) Champs

Another all girls team called the “Tulips” It is unknown if these younger teams had any sponsors or did they just use team names. The photo looks like it may have been taken at Sir Adam Beck School or a nearby Church hall. It would be interesting to find out more about these teams and why they were called Tulips or Tomboys, etc.

In 1972 the Alderwood Bantam Boys Select team won the Etobicoke Championship and went on to compete in the all Ontario championships in Scarborough. Note the picture above of the team and the team’s dugout witch seems to be lacking any protective cages.


In 1973 the Junior Boys rep team (17 yr old) would be the first and only Alderwood boys team to win the All Etobicoke Championship and go on to win the Ontario Amateur Softball Assoc Championship.
