The Central West Ontario Broomball Regionals were held in Palmerston this past weekend. The Young Guns Ladies broomball team — made up of players from the Owen Sound area — attended hoping to place in one of the top 4 positions to qualify to play at Provincials in Fergus this coming March.
They did better than qualified, they came first in Intermediate Ladies division. Friday night, the Guns had a great game beating Rampage out of Blyth.

For their third game they had to be back on the ice at 7am Sunday morning, facing The Bandits from Blyth. During the main game-time the Guns smothered the goalie with all kinds of shots on net but not able to squeak one by the goalie, which pushed them into OT.

This now put them into the final game waiting to see who their opponent will be – they ended up coming up against The Bandits once again.
