Results for team B:

• Benoni Northerns B vs Bulls 8 – 15 and Benoni Northerns B vs Mets 10 – 26

Coaches Gary Tromp (A team) and Carrie Evans (B team) both agreed in saying, “It was a good day for softball, hot weather and players were keen to play. It was so nice to see the senior players playing against junior players, as this enabled them to teach the youngsters the game thus growing the softball league.”

Their next games will take place on Saturday, October 23, at Benoni Northerns Sports Ground from 14.00 to 16.00.
