2nd SENIOR WORLD CUP GETS UNDERWAY FRIDAY

This Friday, June 20, the 2nd ISF Senior World Cup gets underway at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern time) in Manassas, Virginia (USA), with teams from the United States, Canada, and Colombia squaring off in three full days of competition. “Many countries have expressed their interest in developing a senior program so they can send teams in the future,” said ISF Director of Senior Softball R.B. Thomas (above), who will serve as the tournament director for this weekend’s event.

The field of 60 teams – all men – exceeds the turnout of 53 at last year’s 1st ISF Senior World Cup. The teams are in pools that consist of ages 50-and-over, 55-and-over, 60-and-over, 65-and-over, and 70-and-over (including one 75+ team).

“We have some of the top ranked senior teams in the world playing this year and the World Cup is becoming one of the exciting events in the senior division of softball,” Thomas noted. “The popularity of the ISF Senior World Cup demonstrates the desire of the senior (over 50) population to stay active and ageless. They really enjoy the competition and travel.”

The umpires too add an international flavor, as those from the U.S. will be joined by some of their colleagues from Canada.

Full details – including last year’s results – are available from the International Senior Softball Association’s (ISSA) website using the link below. Updated scores will also be posted there this weekend as the games finish.
