Finals Series Week 3
This past 10 days, New South Wales and Greater Sydney has seen an unprecedented weather event, one which many have not seen before in their lifetime.
I pray that you, your families, and friends have been safe and well during this period. Obviously, baseball was not front of mind of all of us during this period, so we play our Grand Final games this weekend, hopefully under warm blue skies.
The Grand Final for Intermediate League and Preliminary Finals for the other divisions of the Manly Warringah Junior Baseball Competition were scheduled over 3 days from 10 to 13 March.
Congratulations to the Dodgers for their win Grand Final of the Intermediate League. Commiserations to the Royals, but well done on a great season of baseball.
The Senior League preliminary final was played on Friday evening, 12 March under lights. Having been threatened with cancellation due to the rain during the week and the prediction of rain on the day, the field was in outstanding condition.
It was a great game played under ominous skies, which developed into a significant lighting storm, causing the game to be ceased after 4 innings. Congratulations to the Pittwater Dolphins on progressing to the Grand Final. Commiserations to the Manly Seasiders Tigers, but well done on a great season of baseball.
The Under 9 Tee Ball, Zooka, Little League Minor & Major and Junior League were played Saturday, 13 March at St Matthews Farm Reserve.
Well done to Kris Gailloux, President of the Warringah Baseball Club, and your great team of volunteers for the preparation of the grounds and an excellent day of baseball with great atmosphere and food.
Well done to all the Coaches, Team Officials and parents of the outstanding teams that played on Saturday.
Commiserations to the teams that were eliminated, Manly Baseball looks forward to seeing you all return next season, a year older and keener than ever to play baseball.
