Owen Sound Selects Denied 2011 Canadian Junior Tournament
Softball Canada has officially rejected a bid by the Owen Sound Brick Brothers Volkswagen Junior Selects Fastball Club to host the 2011 Canadian Junior Men's Fastball Championship.
Owen Sound was the host center in 2008 & again in August of 2009 for the event at Duncan McLellan Park.
Brick Brothers submitted a bid to host the event in 2010, but were bypassed in favour of St Croix, Nova Scotia.
After being denied as host for 2010, Owen Sound made another application, this time to be the host of the National Junior Championship Tournament again in 2011.
While it wasn't stated, the belief is that Napanee, Ontario will be the host city for 2011.
After informing the Selects of the decision regarding the Canadian Junior Championship, Softball Canada encouraged Owen Sound to bid for the 2011 Canadian Senior Men's Championship Tournament.
The Selects hosted the Canadian Men's Championship in 2003.
