Last Saturday, our four representative teams headed out to Gargett to play Pioneer Valley in the first of the games for the Marian Mill Shield. This is an annual event, played at both Pioneer Valley and Marian. Unfortunately, at this knock out event only Chris Banney’s team won, so Pioneer Valley went on to play Sunday at Marian.
