The lone bright spot for the Merchants came on Sunday when they were able to beat Paris 7-5, but the win was short-lived as the Merchants finished the regular season with a 3-2 loss to Hespeler.
As for the aforementioned Tavistock Braves, they began the final week with a 5-3 win over Norwich on Friday, as previously mentioned, and continued their winning ways on Sunday as they doubled up Hespeler 4-2.
