The final playoff game (deemed the championship game) was played at Britannia Park on Friday, June 21 beginning at 6:30 p.m., between Community Frank Ryan Little League and Glebe Lit- tle League. Glebe acted as the "home" team. After four innings the score was tied 14 all. In the fifth and final inning which began at 8:35 p.m., the visitors scored two more runs, making the score 16-14. Team Glebe came back in the bottom of the fifth to win the game 17-16. Medallions were presented: gold to Glebe and silver to Frank Ryan for first and second place.
