Let’s Play Ball at O’Neill’s Pub

By Victoria Klassen

ummertime at O’Neill’s Pub means
Sannual softball and volleyball
leagues, and successful fundraising
tournaments. Mike O’Neill bought the
pub last August and has helped the sports
leagues grow from previous years. There
are now 20 volleyball teams and 11
softball teams. The season began after the
May long weekend and will end around
the beginning of September.

O’Neill’s Pub is in Long Sault, 10
minutes from Cornwall. O’Neill says
around 60 per cent of the league’s players
are from Cornwall. O’Neill’s Pub is
conveniently situated with volleyball
courts in front, and a ball diamond behind
the pub. “With the volleyball, I play once
a week, and the ball, when they’re short,

I fill in and play,” says O’Neill. “And the
fact that I get to play with my kids who
are 24 and 21, it’s a lot of fun. You interact
with a lot of different people.”
O’Neill’s Pub also runs charity
tournaments, including an annual Canada
Day volleyball tournament to raise money
for the Long Sault firefighters. Some

past tournaments this year have raised
$1,800 for pulmonary hypertension, and
$1,500 for CHEO. “The community is
very active and very supportive,” says
O’Neill. Team Sports and Good Times are served all summer long at O’Neill’s Pub Submitted photo
