The Intercounty Baseball League has announced the first of its post-season awards.
Royals manager Dino Roumel has been named the Troy May memorial award winner as manager of the year.
Roumel helped lead Guelph to a fourth-place finish with a 24 and 18 regular season record.
The Royals also managed to reach the championship final for the first time in 20 years.
They eliminated last season’s champs, the Welland Jackfish, in the semi-finals before being swept by the eventual champions Barrie Baycats in the championship series.
