The Newcastle U18 team travelled to Blacktown on the 22nd and 23rd May to contest the NSW Country championships. The 18s was made up by only 3 teams, Newcastle, Central Coast and Illawarra with each team playing each other twice in the preliminary games.

All 3 teams won 2 of their 4 games and unfortunately Newcastle missed out on a spot in the final due to for and against runs. Illawarra eventually winning the title 4-3 against Central Coast in a tough 9 inning game.

The NBA hereby calls for nominations for appointment to the following positions with our 2010 womens and two mens teams to compete at the Country Championships this October Long Weekend (2-4 October) in Coffs Harbour.

A tough luck last game loss for the U18s to be shunted from the final has been eased by solid victories for both the U14 & U16 Newcastle Teams at the 2010 NSW Country Baseball Championships played at Blacktown Olympic Park this weekend.

The U14s had a dominant 10-0 victory whilst the U16s had a game long arm wrestle come out in their favour 13-11, both teams beating Central Coast for their Championship titles.

Congratulations to all players, coaches, support staff and parents on a most successful weekend.

The Newcastle team travelled to Wollongong during the October long weekend to contest the NSW Country Championships. After being runners up last year, the team was keen to improve on this performance during the weekend.

The 2009 Women’s program commenced with a series of scrimmage games that enabled players to establish reference points with respect to their playing ability and the team’s coaching staff to get an early assessment of the potentially available players. These games were valuable from a player development perspective and should be incorporated in future programs.
