First Annual PROforma ALL-STAR Challenge Cup

Kitchener, Ontario - August 4, 2006 - The Golden Horseshoe Fastball League and the South Perth Men's Fastball League are pleased to announce the creation of a brand new event taking place at the site of the 2006 ISC World Fastball Tournament.

The PROforma ALL-STAR Challenge Cup, sponsored by local promotional products distributor PROforma Promotions, will be held on Thursday, August 10th at 9:00 PM at the Peter Hallman Ball Yard in Kitchener. The event will pair all-star teams from the GHFL & SPMFL in a tournament kick-off challenge match.

"I am very excited to sponsor this new event," states Ken Doucet, owner of PROforma Promotions, the official merchandise supplier of the 2006 Schneiders ISC World Men's Fastball Tournament. PROforma also supplied the merchandise for the 2002 Schneiders ISC World Men's Fastball Tournament.

“We're doing everything we can to try to re-fire interest in men's fastball in Ontario and events like the PROforma All-Star Challenge are a great way to build some friendly rivalries between leagues,” said GHFL President Blair Setford. “South Perth is widely recognized as one of the top leagues around, but we think that we're going to surprise a lot of people with how good the GHFL team will be.”

"South Perth teams have won the past three ISC II Championships and we've got a lot of great players, but we're looking forward to the challenge," said South Perth president George Nahrgang.

“We're thrilled that PROforma has stepped up to be the title sponsor and I expect that competition for the PROforma All-Star Cup is going to be fierce every year," said Setford.
