HP Yankees Unveil New Jerseys in Style! |
|
|
|
|
Upset Superstars 17-16 In Thrilling Come From Behind Win.
It looks like HP’s newly named Divisional baseball team, the Yankees, has started to find some form at last. The team unveiled its new look grey jerseys and unleashed the lumber in a 12-run 3rd inning outburst that put them in a position to win their very first game of the young season in their 4th attempt. However, they briefly looked like last year’s disgraced HP Rookies after squandering their massive lead to trail by 15 to 16 going into the last half of the 6th and final inning. However, a stunning, 2-out, 2-run rally saw the Yankees walk off with their first win in their first game wearing the new kit.

No 1 Diamond Closed for Senior Games |
|
|
|
|
We have been advised that No1 diamond is closed for U18, Premier and Divisional games until further notice. This is due to the ongoing issue of fly-balls hitting neighbouring houses and doing damage.
To resolve this we are setting up a project team to design and implement additional fencing, as well as manage communication with the Council and neighbours.
This is an important issue that we need to resolve as soon as possible, so we are looking for anyone with engineering skills who can help out in any way. If you can help please click here to email Michael Long. |
