Ship Bottom PD Secure Their First Pickleball Win: With their first win still elusive, the Ship Bottom Police Department is gearing up for a rematch in the second annual pickleball event against local players. However, the real obstacle might not just be their opponents but Mother Nature herself. Should the weather hold up, the department could find itself in a precarious position if they face back-to-back losses.
Matchups Set, Stakes are Light but Real
The matchups are locked in, pitting local pickleball enthusiasts against members of the police department. While the stakes aren’t high, the friendly banter has been. During last month’s council meeting officials and residents teased the department, all in good fun. Still, after last year’s loss, the team knows that a victory would do more than just quiet the ribbing.
Community Gathers for a Morning of Fun
The event, set to take place on Saturday, Sept. 28, promises to be a community affair, running from 8 a.m. until noon at the John J. Guld Jr. Recreation Area and Ball Field on Sixth Street. Players and spectators are expected to join in the fun as part of the town’s continued effort to foster camaraderie between law enforcement and residents.
Weather Could Be a Deciding Factor
As with any outdoor event, the weather could play a significant role. The game is set to happen, but the forecast will ultimately determine if the Ship Bottom Police get their shot at redemption or if they’ll have to wait another year.
