While during the league season schools all play each another, in regionals they divide into their school divisions. In this region schools are involved in Division 2 and Division 3 regionals.
Happening first are Division 3 regionals in Bridgetown March 4 and 5. These regionals will involve Bridgetown, Par-en-Bas, Barrington and Middleton. See schedule by clicking here.
Division 2 regionals happen March 6-7 in Kingston. The schools in these regionals are NKEC, Horton, West Kings, Yarmouth and Central Kings. See schedule by clicking here.
DIGBY TO PLAY REGIONALS QUALIFIER
The last spot for regionals will be determined by a qualifier game happening in Digby on Thursday, March 3 between the Digby Mariners and the Bridgewater Vikings. Because Digby finished in sixth place in the Valley League amongst the six Division 2 schools, it has to play the qualifier with Bridgewater, who this year was not in the league.
Game time is 7:15 p.m. at the Digby Arena and admission is free. The Mariners are hoping for a large turnout as this will be their last home game of the season.
PAST WEEKEND RESULTS
