Back on the ball

THE wait is over and softball is under way this weekend at Noosa – with the new season starting Saturday morning for the kids and after lunch for the adults.
If you would like to play or see what it’s about come on down to the Noosa sports complex on Butler Street and have a look – remember, softball is for all ages.
Last weekend saw the under-19 titles at Redcliffe and the Noosa FNQ girls team make it through to the grand final only to go down to Redlands in a great battle 4-2.
Shinai Gibbons was rewarded for her efforts with selection in the Queensland under-19 team. Shinae and Fraser also played in the team and had good tournaments, to go with her 17s selection two weeks ago.
Riley Murrihy played for Redcliffe in the boys and also lost the grand final 8-6 against Redland, while William Todd played for Caboolture. Both boys hit home runs and Shinai hit two autos.
It’s been a big two weeks for the Noosa players playing in two tournaments over six days and training in between.
Most of these players started as four-year-olds at Noosa and now continue their careers as part of the Noosa club.
