Three of
the best... |
 |
To complete the trifecta of congratulations this week, well done
to Hayden Bray, Zac Shepherd and Tim Wakefield, on their
selection into the Australian Cal Ripken team for 2008. All
three NSW reps were from Hills this year, and it's the first
time that has happened in this high-profile event. It's the
actually second time we've had three boys involved:- last time
was in 2003 when Brenton Nahirny, Adam Spencer and James Vergos
flew the flag. |
You can read more at the
Ripken
Baseball website. The BNSW Announcement can be downloaded
here. |

SJC Competitions 2008/09 ... |
|
 |
Although requiring formal ratification from the BNSW Board, it
looks like the SJC rep competition will revert to the format of
prior years. Specifically:-
- No change
from the old age eligibility rules:- ie December 31st in
each year.
- No Little
League at rep level:- just U/12s, U/14s and U/16s as before.
- Only one
Hills team in U/12s, not two.
- Equipment &
base paths as per 2007/8 season

Website of the Month ... |
 |
The
very weirdly named
Unpage site is our pick this
month, carrying through the
theme of all things Little
league. The Unpage website is
dedicated to providing you with
current and historical coverage
of Little League Baseball state
and region tournaments in the
major baseball (11-12 years old)
division. It has started
covering the Australian region
this year, and has an impressive
range of information and links.
This looks like the right place
to follow our team's progress in
Hong Kong |
