Tie dye ladies take round one versus rival Charlie’s Angels

By RICHARD A. ROSS

MONGAUP VALLEY, NY - It’s a basic law of physics that when two seemingly immovable objects collide, something’s got to give. So it was that the long awaited match between undefeated Charlie’s Angels and Cooper Paint lived up to the hype on July 6 at Collins Park.

The previously scheduled match up slated for June 1 had been rained out, as have many games this season, so each team went about its business of knocking off everyone else on their schedules. Charlie’s Angels came into this game sporting a 10-0 record; Cooper Paint came in at 9-0.

These two teams are staunch rivals. Last year, Cooper Paint defeated Charlie’s Angels in both of their regular-season games on the way to an historic 25-0 season.

Nugget notches nice win over Mr. Willy’s

By RICHARD A. ROSS

MONGAUP VALLEY, NY - Nugget players will be the first to admit it: moving up to the A Division has been no easy task. Still, no matter what the competition, if you go out and play hard every night, you’re going to get results.

After falling to Dutch’s earlier in the week, Nugget bounced back and got a first-inning 2-0 lead over Mr. Willy’s on July 6. They led the entire game.

When it comes to the rigors of moving up to the tougher division, Mr. Willy’s can tell a tale of its own. It happened to them a couple of years back and the going hasn’t been easy since.
