Ripper shots Peter.
I spent many summer weekends at West Beach coaching and umpiring.in the late 70s/early 80s.
I even played in the first State team when the Men’s game was in its early years. It helped that I was a selector.
Softball is a tremendous grass roots sport; hope it makes it back to the Olympics.
