Truro Bearcats

The Sackville Chiefs have appealed to BNS, President, George Farmer the decision to overturn an earlier ruling issued by the NSSBL with regards to the game played June 6, 2001 against the Truro Bearcats. The appeal committee issued their decision on July 5,2001. The Sackville Chiefs then had 7 days to appeal this decision to President Farmer. Today, Sackville Chiefs, General Manager Gordon Jones filed the appeal at the BNS office. While the Sackville Chiefs have the utmost respect for the appeal committee, General Manager Jones strongly feels all the facts were not presented. No one from the Sackville Chiefs was invited to attend the appeal hearing. Therefore the action taken today will hopefully give the Sackville Chiefs an opportunity to present their case.
