While much of the sporting focus will this weekend be on football Grand Finals in Melbourne and Sydney, yes it is indeed true that Victorian Summer League baseball will start on Sunday 1 October.
In acknowledging that there have been challenges in finalising and posting senior fixtures, build-up for the new season has been underwhelming, to say the very least. Apart from the occasional sketchy Facebook or Twitter grab, sadly very little has come from the state governing body to generate real interest and excitement leading into Opening Day.
And this is even before the start of the ABL season!
Fortunately the planning, preparation and online promotion by various clubs – which has been outstanding in many cases - suggests that we are in for another ripper Summer League season across senior, women’s, Masters and junior competitions.
Best wishes to all clubs, to all teams, to coaches, officials and to all players for a fulfilling and successful 2017/18 season!
Although far less people frequent this Forum than was the case in previous years, it still seems to fill a vacuum and provide a voice for our regular visitors. Accordingly, we will be keeping the lines of communication open during the Summer League season and – as always – we invite input, news and comment on any matter that will help keep the baseball community informed and engaged.
