| 16U Win in Clinton Township |

After a dismal, underperforming day in seeding play on July 12th against the likes of the Flemington Flames, Jersey Storm and NJ Sparks, the Jersey Girls 16U played to their ability on July 13 defeating the Morris County Belles and NJ Sparks to advance to the finals. In the end, the Jersey Girls defeated the Warrington Blue Thunder 4-1 to take top honors in a 16 team tournament qualifier held in Clinton Township at Bundt Park and North Hunterdon High School.

While placing #1 in the seeding on Saturday, Mother Nature intervened the following day causing for the cancellation of all Sunday play in the Belles Tournament of Champions on June 21 and 22, 2008 in East Hanover, NJ. As such, the JG 16U took top honors and earned a bid to PONY Nationals.

As a new team with as many returning players as there are new, the fall season wrapped in solid fashion with the Girls hosting a four team Round Robin at Bundt Park in Clinton Township. JG's played host to the NJ Sparks, Livingston Thunder and NJ Mystics under beautiful skies going 2-1 on the day. If this fall is an indicator, paired with winter training and a spring of high school softball, the 16U has taken step a positive steps towards becoming a solid team with some exciting play ahead of them in 2008 in both 16U tournaments and 18U Showcases alike.

| 16U Win Masquerade Ball! |
|
Barely out of tryouts with few practices behind them, the JG 16U squad came together putting a strong performance forth in the Mt. Olive Marauders/Avalanche Masquerade Ball held on the weekend of October 13 and 14, 2007.
After going 1-1 on shortened seeding Saturday due to weather while playing in costumes as was the theme of the tournament (Player Prisoners with Prison Guard Coaches, not far from the truth actually!), the team powered into Sunday edging out the Lehigh Valley Outlaws 3-2, convincingly defeating Team Titan 7-2 in the semi's while scoring all their runs against the Livingston Thunder in the third inning going onto a 5-0 shutout victory.
The Girls wrap their fall season next weekend hosting a Round Robin in Clinton Township.
