Year 96 is yet another success!!!

The 2014 Royals season proved to be another successful one in the storied history of Marysburg Senior baseball. The Royals went 21-3 in league play and won the league pennant for the fourth consecutive year.  They battled hard in the playoffs making it all the way to the fourth game of the league final with a nine and ten man squad before losing out to the Guns.  The boys battled and grinded their way in that series like they never have before.  Provincials saw us make it to the final before settling for second as the Outlaws beat us.  The Royals defeated the Diggers and Regina Capitals and their aces in two thrilling games before playing the Outalws in the final.   It was a fantastic season. The future looks bright for this team as they are already looking ahead to next year. A few thank yous that need to be handed out. First and foremost - thank you to all the wives and the girlfriends for putting up with us all summer. You truly do not realize how much we appreciate all of the support that you give us year after year. We could not do it without you. Thank you to Coach Timmer, Coach Johber and Coach Wayne - it's harder coaching than playing and you guys kept your cool all year long. Thank you to all of our fans for supporting us this year. We had very good crowds in Marysburg all year long and it was amazing to see how many people travelled to Kindersley for provincials.  We hope we provided you with some good entertainment. Thank you to everyone who supported us and who came to our annual baseball camp in May. It was once again a great success. Thank you to RONA, Affinity Credit Union, and SOUTH 20 for supporting us financially this year.  Thank you to all who helped in our concession in Marysburg this year. The concession is a major reason we get as many fans as we do with all of the great food that is served. I am not going to name them all in fear I might forget someone, but you all know who you are. Thank you to Gord Kiefer, Lee Connell,  Grady Slade, Todd Schuler, Scott Mills, Ron Bauml, and Gary Dodds for umpiring this year. It is a thankless job that often goes overlooked and the games could not be played without you. Thank you to all the players for the time and commitment you gave. It sure is fun going to the park with such a good group of guys. And finally last but certainly not least, thank you to Wayne and Noreen Strueby for everything that you do. This team would not be in existence without these two people. They do ALL of the behind the scenes work that no one notices and is overlooked. We would not be able to field a team without all that you do. We cannot wait until 2015!!!!
