The league is welcoming to all those who are interested, men, women as well as younger players aged 17 or 18 who are ageing out of the junior divisions.
Preparations are in full swing for the Giants/Imps Baseball Club’s senior winter baseball league.
Taking place on Mother’s Day (May 11), registration took place on April 26, and local baseball enthusiasts can look forward to another thrilling season of Sunday games, camaraderie and competitive spirit.
“We’re registering and seeing how many players we’ve got in each team. From there, we’ll decide how many teams we’ve got to enter the league.

We’re hoping to have a good start,” said the club’s president, Aneline Butler.
“The league will be divided into Major A, B and then reserves. Reserves is more like a social league, so we’re hoping to have a team in Major A and B. And also a team in reserves,” she explained.
It’s not just the man getting in on the action, there’s also a push to build up a full ladies’ team.
“At the moment we don’t have a full side, but there is a ladies’ team, and we want female players to come on board.”

“They’re most welcome to join our winter league, because it’s more social, it’s more relaxed, and they can have a little bit more time to settle in,” said Butler.
The league will run from May through August.
“I’m always taking players. Two new players signed up, including one who hadn’t played in a while. We’re about having fun and giving everyone a chance to play.”
They train on a Saturday, and then the league games are on a Sunday.Training is held in the morning from 09:00 and in the afternoon.
