On Friday November 20, the senior boys and girls softball teams headed off to Endeavour Reserve to play in their respective finals.
The boys played Cecil Hills, who had a very strong team and were undefeated throughout the season. I knew our boys had to bring their A game if they wanted to win and that is exactly what they did. Winning the toss we sent them into bat and they were able to get 2 runs home. We had to bat and that is what we did. Hinckley and Kobe hit home runs and Kaine and James were also able to get across the plate; giving us 4 runs before we had 3 out. With an incomplete 2nd innings meaning the final score stood at 4-2. Smithfield Boys had the Premiership!!!!!! Congratulations to all the boys for a fantastic season; full of hard word, dedication and commitment. Well done; Kaine Bean, James Nguyen, Gianni Pinna Hinckley Tapusoa, Kobe Faumuina, Mahdi Alshara, Jordan Nguyen, Ryan Panuccio, Stefan Grujic, Jordan Van den Hooven and Patrick Shain.
The girls played Fairfield West and unfortunately we lost the toss and had to bat 1st. But, the girls were ready; they had trained hard and knew exactly what they had to do to win the game. With some excellent batting we were able to get 6 home, a terrific effort. I knew it would be hard for FW to match this with our wonderful field play. Due an awesome team effort in the field FW only managed to score 2 runs. Smithfield Girls had won the Premiership too!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to all the girls for a fabulous season, once again full of hard work, dedication and commitment. Well done; Kristyn Baker, Sylvia Nanziri, Nicolette Talevski, Lauren Doan, Ola Abdul-Hadi,
Nathaanki Karunaivel, Giulia Pinna, Jessica Ashcroft,
Leela Tatoa Ma-Chong and Kelly Khao.
