Sting Celebrate Grads in Home Finale

Prior to the home finale, the Sting celebrated three graduates playing their final games in the Sting uniform. Larrissa Lemay (2016-2018), Anna Downing (2017-2018) and Amanda Van de Graaf (2017-2018) were each recognized prior to the first game against the Durham Lords. Highlighting the pre-game celebration was Lemay being named Honourary Captain and delivering the line-up card to the umpire prior to the game. Lemay was unable to play in the game due to an injury.
