Season Highlights

The association became an affiliate of the Victorian Softball Association, constitution updated.

The association has also proposed to amalgamate with the Sale Baseball Club in the hope of securing new playing grounds that can be jointly shared, used by softball in summer and baseball in winter. A site in the eastern part of the town has been earmarked.

Invitation to be a part of the inaugural Gippsland Regional Softball Championships held at Traralgon. Three teams competed in Open B grade, Under 17. New white uniforms with striped black trim have been organised by Lorna Ray for the players.

Each senior player to now supply her own glove. Gloves to be bought for primary & secondary players only.
