This team of 14- and 15-year-olds was formed with players from Killarney, Lauder, Wawanesa, Pierson, Baldur, and Souris, with pickups from Morden and Dauphin for the Western Canadian championship. Coaches were Craig McKinstry and Larry Nicholls, both from Killarney. In July the team went to Teulon and played in a qualifying tournament for the provincial championship. In early August at the provincials in Winnipeg, the team went undefeated. Late in August they travelled to Kelowna, B.C. for the Western Canada tournament. In round robin play they went undefeated, which meant they had a bye into the finals and had to be beaten twice in a row by the other finalist, Alberta. Alberta won a close first game but in the second game Manitoba won 6-0. The team was later chosen Baseball Manitoba’s Team of the Year.
