1975 Cobourg Angels Women's Fastball photos -Team, Battery, Infield, Outfield & newspaper articles. Ontario Junior B champions over Brookville – Lakeshore League champs over Lakefield. Oshawa Tournament winners. This was one of the Angels first Ontario Titles and one of the most dramatic! Cobourg took the first game vs. Brookville 8-4 (August 19), Brookville won 2-1 (August 21). Back in Brookville (August 26), after losing 3-1 the team fights back to win 4-3. This game was intensified by some spectacular plays including a fly ball tipped off the glove of one outfielder and caught by another (Pat Richardson and Joanne Drury) resulting in a double play. The winning run scored by Judy West (who was not to be at the game but arrived late having been driven 3 hours by her Minister from Bible Camp) on a throwing error of the Brookville pitcher fielding a bunt by Judy Davey. Such a Thrilling Game!! Bill Foote added to coaching roster.
The Cobourg Galloping Ghosts are the most famous team in Cobourg sports history. Managed by Fred Dufton, the Ghosts won eight Ontario championships, five after World War II. They were Canadian Dominion champions in 1946, 1948 and 1950. They were the first team in Canada to wear aluminum cleats and the second to wear white uniforms.
