Soft ball off to great start

By RICHARD MURRIHY

Two weeks of fine weather has seen the softball season off to a great start with Redsox, Dodgers, Slammers and Slamcats all putting in teams.
Games start at 8.30am in the morning and the senior hardball comp finishes about 4.30pm.
Players from three years old to 50 plus are out there playing, so one is never too old or young to play.
Visit the Noosa District Softball Association Facebook page to see all the latest photos and results of the young and old playing. Fred has been loading them every week.
As for the games I have seen, Riley and Kyle have hit home runs, Jack Murray has taken a screamer of a catch while Riley and Kyle also have catches to their name, and Jarrod has put on the best comedy act as a catcher of which I heard all as I was umpiring.
Over the past months leading up the club has had state titles with Lewis, Leigh, Shinai and Charles all making different Qld teams. Luke Thomas has again been selected this time in the U23 side to go with his U17 and U19 selections.
So if you feel you have it in you, come on down on Saturday and join in the mixed competition and enjoy a day with Noosa softball.
