CUBS, ACADIANS CO-LEADERS IN SIRL SECOND
It is a tight-knit, well-balanced league with close games aplenty... at the end of the first month of play, the Delacroix Cubs and the Bar Harbor Acadians rest on top of the standings of the South Island Recreational League Second League... but the truth be known, it's anybody's ball game... any of the six teams could very well take the title by season's end... the Meraux Tigers and Chitamaca Moccasins are running second, followed by the last place Mystic Mariners and Bayou Bleu Blues.
Co-leading Delacroix (3-1) is the highest-ranked club left over from last year... the Cubs came in a close third place after the teams that got promoted to the SIRL First League, champ St. Dominic and runner-up Guedon... however, the other teams were right on their tails... Delacroix was just 2 games out of first place last season, Meraux, Chitamaca and Bayou Bleu were just 3 games off the pace... it looks like more of the same this season... no one is heads-and-shoulders above the others.
