The 19BB softball season began enthusiastically with trials and trainings towards the end of 1987. All the players were keenly sporting their talent ready for a big season. With blue booklets in hand, the A and B squad members began their Christmas holidays which, due to pressure from Mrs Harvey-Short and Mrs Starr-Thomas, were destined to consist of at least one skills training a week for five weeks. At the commencement of 1988 the squads were put through rigorous training sessions. The A grade squad, determined to come back from ninth place in 1987, gained match practice by playing reigning premiers, State High, in two pre-season games. This was a great help in Iearning to work as a team. ln the B Grade competition, good pitching by Kate Maher and Lynden Ewin gave plenty of work to the fielders who rallied to the task and performed like a finely tuned machine. The fielding effort was then backed up bry consistent safe hitting with regular big hits and home runs by Sasha Chenoweth, Emma Woodall SOFTBAI-I. GRADE B Back Row: (left to right): E.

This teamwork resulted in great ,,vins against both State High and St Peter's and subsequen'tly gave the Grammar B Grade team a premiership which was shared with State High. The A Grade's best match was against State High, which had spectators anxiously on their {eet in the f inal stages, as time ran out and Grammar went down 5-4 with loaded bases and none out. Thanks are extended by all players, to both Mrs Harvey- Short (A Grade) and Mrs Starr-Thomas (B Crade) for their expertise and dedication in coaching the teams and Mrs Cooke and Alex Seckold for their time and patience while scoring every Saturday morning. Finally I would like to thank and congratulate all the girls for a successful and enjoyable season and wish next year's teams the best of luck.
