begin at 7 p.m.

Tomorrow night at 7 p.m., the Argyle
Pipers host Handsworth, while the
Highlanders of West Vancouver travel to St.
Thomas Aquinas for a 7 p.m. start.

In a Tuesday night mecting of the North
Share leagues’ top talents last week, the
Highlanders swept the Argyle Pipers in three
straight games (15-10, 15-11, 15-10).

Highlanders considering the Pipers were still
on a high from their UBC Invitational
Tournament victory.

single-A, double-A, triple-A) advance te the
North Shore final, to be held at the first place
