Lions win Blackford Cup in Edinburgh Softball Tournament!!

Totalling 105 runs and only only conceding 16 all weekend will probably mean they'll be asking us to enter the higher competition next year.

Overview

Having won a Diamond Tournament in C Comp last year the Lions decided to try their luck in B Comp.

Little did they know that they would finish a solid 3rd and only missing getting into the final marginaly.

B Comp teams were amazed that we played in C Comp last year.

Highlights

• Dereks 3rd/4th play off game winning home run landing just short of the left field fence.
• Daryls debut in the infield resulted in some amazing plays.
• Strong fielding from the outfield getting the ball in quickly.
• 8 home runs from Adam! And usual amazing pitching
• Carols first Home Run!
• And solid hitting from the rest of the team

Needless to say we will be in high spirits when we face the Greensox on Wednesday.

Another win making the Lions record 4-0.

Misserable weather didn't dampen the Lions Spirits who took away a strong win against a much improved Mets team.

The Gaffas performance after her being AWOL for 2 weeks on the other side of the world must have earned her the pants of Shame for next week.

Highlights include a home run from Darel, some cracking plays from Michel at third and the expected high quality of pitching we've come to expect from Adam.

Speeders next week.

The lions are marginally victorious 13-10 against a strong Phoenix team.

It was far too close being 6-6 at one point.

Most funny injury of the season goes to Vicky who had toe cramp in right field.

The Lions offseason training seems to be paying off; taking 5 of the possible 6 awards on offer. The award presentation was at the last Indoor session today.

Hopefully we can take this result outside with us to our Tournament next week.
