The Judy
Williams Women's First Edition Slowpitch Softball League currently
consists of four teams: Averteck, Inc., Twice As Nice, Wild/Katz and "Dalinkwents."
These four teams meet each other on Thursday evenings at Father Kelly
Park in the South End. Slowpitch softball has been played in Fall River
since 1963. According to League Director Roger Laferriere who started
with the league in 1975, the current number of participants, 67 players
ranging in age from 16 to 51, is down from previous years. "Fewer of our
women players are under 30," reports Laferriere. "It’s getting harder to
interest younger players to stay involved as adults. Hopefully, the
current rising interest in girls softball will translate into more young
adult players," he speculates. Click
