The Minor Bantam 2 played their first tournament of the year in Bolton on the weekend. The A's won their first game on Friday over Pickering 16-6. On Saturday the A's hung with Richmond Hill AAA until the last inning, dropping a tough 7-4 decision, but bounced back in the afternoon to comfortably beat Royal York 11-5. Needing help in the tiebreaker, advancement to Sunday's semifinals was not to be as Oakville was edged out by Whitby on run differential.
