Posters 14-15

The objective of this competition is to have all the youth players enrolled with the club playing a competitive game every weekend.

The Gozo Baseball & Softball League has today announced the Autumn schedule. Over the coming weeks the four teams of the Ghajnsielem Redcoats will compete in the Youth Softball Division. This will involve a six-week long regular season where all teams will play each other twice. The regular season will be followed by a double elimination tournament to decide the Softball Champions.

The team with the best regular season record will take on the last placed team, whereas the team that placed second will take on the third placed team in the first round of the tournament. Three tournament rounds will determine the finalists. In the event that in the final the unbeaten team is defeated, the Tournament Final will be replayed as no team can be eliminated unless it loses twice. The final is scheduled to be played during the first half of December.

The Connaught Rangers, the Leinster Royals and the 31st Athletics, that in July participated in the Gozo Cup Tournament, are joined by the 63rd Reds. Coach George Grech is in charge of the Connaught Rangers, while Steve Ellis took over the Leinster Royals. Joseph Scicluna and Loreto Scicluna are both coaching the 31st Athletics and the 63rd Reds. The objective of this competition is to have all the youth players enrolled with the club playing a competitive game every weekend. This should help the players gain experience and improve their basic skills while having much fun.

The respective team rosters will be announced next week after the third and final tryout session that will take place at the Sannat Ground this Saturday from 13:30 till 15:30.
