1980 Cobourg Angels Women's Fastball photos -Team, Battery, Infield, Outfield & newspaper articles. The team moves up to Junior A this year. Highlights include the Lakeshore Ladies fastball League champions winning over Lakefield (best 2 of 3 series), Carp tournament champions and finalists at the London tournament (this medal was quite unique because of the playing conditions at the tournament – due to heavy rain on the Saturday, the games were postponed and the Angels were forced to play 6 back-to-back games on the Sunday to advance to the final game which was slated to start at 11:00 p.m. The coaches and players proposed to St. Catharines to call it a tie but they would not hear of it, so Cobourg forfeited the last game and arrived home at 3:00 a.m. Monday morning).
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.
