The 1953 Simcoe Stars won the Ontario Women's Softball Union's Intermediate AA championship in Bramption, September 17, 1953, defeating the Brampton Combines 8-5, behind yet another great pitching performance by Nellie Jordbro who struck out Brampton's first 13 batters.

When the new Ontarion Champions arrived back in Simcoe well after midnight, they were accorded our traditional championship reception.  Provincial police provided an escort into town and on arrival at Norfolk Motors the players and team officials were welcomed and congratulated by Mayor W. H. Martin.

Boarding the big fire truck, they were paraded around town, led by the local police cruiser.  The noisy cavalcade, with sirens and horns blaring, ended up back at its starting point and the team and a number of supporters topped off the big evening with lunch at The Tops restaurant.

Coached by Herb White and Fred Amberger, the players were Darlene Johnson,  Dot Morden,  Nellie Jordbro,  Louise Chute,  Marie Amberger,  Betty Opersko,  Joaanne Poirier, Joan Rowbottom,  Marilyn Ward,  Doris Bentley, Marg McCarey and bat girl Carol Cook.

The 1953 Stars were inducted into our Hall of Recognition in 1998.
