Read MoreBaseball was back after the Christmas, New Year break with all senior teams in action over the course of the weekend. Saturday saw our Women head to Springvale and take a tough loss against a vastly more experienced Springvale. Over the other side of town our Ones and Twos took on Essendon. The Ones were keen to turn around a disappointing game prior to the break – and did so, but just couldn’t put together the offence needed. The Twos

Read MoreA tough weekend for our senior mens teams against Essendon – a couple of close ones, but the Bombers showing they are the benchmark once again. A better result with the Womens and Fifths double header on Saturday at Jack Guiliano field with both teams coming away with the W’s The Women took on an always competitive Moorabbin, and the Fifth’s gave up an early lead but won in a walk off. And …. both our Master’s finished the first

Read MoreA great win to the U18’s …. A loss and a win in the U16 competition. Our Junior League snuck in by a run, and our Little League teams fought valiantly but ended up on the rong side. It’s worth remembering though – we learn more by losing than winning!
Read MoreTwo long balls one to Will Tucker and one to Nick Coy were the difference in the One’s game against an always dangerous Blackburn. The Two’s fell short, but an early jump by the Three’s gave them a lead they never gave back. The Four’s worked hard but couldn’t find the runs, and the Five’s had a solid win over a gallant Chelsea. A tough loss for our women, and no joy for either of our Monday

At home the Fours found the runs, but were evenly matched at the end of time,
