The tournament consists of 4 teams. Dunne Memorial, St. Catherine’s, Baltimore, and St. Bons. First, I have never agreed with St Bons being allowed to enter into the small school tournaments as they are not a part of NL schools and even more so, they are private school with the ability, if they chose, to create a super team. They…
