The Island Now

The Williston Park Lady Patriots softball team won its third consecutive Little League District Championship defeating Port Washington on June 20, 2012. 

The team played well behind strong pitching from Patricia Gannon, Tierney Fitzgerald, Erin Meehan and June Gilhooly. Timely hitting and a strong defensive effort lead to the team victory. 

The district championship was played at Kelleher Field in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. The third title in three years is historic. Never before in the history of the Williston Park Little League has a team (boys or girls) won back-to-back-to-back district championships. 

“The girls were thrilled to win this third championship on our hometown field” said Coach Steve Gilhooly. “This is a special group of kids who worked very hard and have improved each and every year, we are very proud of them” said Coach Dennis Gannon. The team advances to sectional play in the annual Williamsport Little League tournament.
