KZN Softball victorious

KZN Softball was represented at the 40th Annual Gordon Monk softball tournament in Kempton Park recently.

The second largest tournament in the country – all but one of the softball provinces were represented at the event.

The KZN Men’s A team was victorious, winning the A Division. Playing Tshwane in a nail-biting final, KZN pipped them 7-6 in the last innings thanks to a two run homerun by Javier Frost.

The KZN Men’s B team excelled as well but unfortunately lost to Ekurhuleni in the B Division final.

The KZN women’s team showed a lot of character and spirit by coming third, proving they will be contenders at the National Provincial Championships in March.

KZN also won individuals awards: Javier Frost was awarded Most Valuable Player in the Men’s A Division and Cameron Dubber was awarded Best Pitcher in the Men’s B Division.

The club league continues at Queensmead with men’s matches on a Thursday night, women’s matches on Sunday morning and the Junior Bolt League on Sunday afternoons.
