Royals set sights on 14th Valley title as 2026 season kicks off
The Green and Gold enter the summer with the same target as always: hardware. Founded in 1979, Winchester remains the Valley League’s standard-bearer with 13 championships and its familiar Northern Division grind ahead [1]. Home is still Bridgeforth Field at Jim Barnett Park, where those green-and-yellow lids have become part of the local summer soundtrack [1][2].The 2026 roster is in place, built from active college players for the VBL’s wood‑bat campaign [3][4]. The Royals opened the slate with a road date at Strasburg on May 29, a fitting curtain-raiser for another tight divisional race [5].For ballpark details and game-day logistics, local listings point fans to Bridgeforth Field in Winchester [6]. The club’s information hub remains its official site, complemented by steady updates on X under @WincRoyals, a longstanding Facebook page, and the “Winchester Royals Official” YouTube channel for highlights and features [7][8][9][10].
