2022 Season comes to an end

So our 2022 Edinburgh Softball Season falls to a close and we hope you all had a fun this year. We would like to hear feedback from players as well as teams on the slightly changed format but I’m sure everyone enjoyed playing more games this year.

We would also like to thank the umpires this year who give up their time to help officiate games and keep the weekly fixtures running.

Our finals placings were –

Premier Winners = Souls
Runners Up = Dodgers

Division 1 Winners = Nuts
Runners up = Vultures

One Day Tournament

Winners = Souls
Runners up = Demons

Please add our End of season awards night to your calendar , this is open to you and your +1 family or friends, more the merrier – Friday 7th October, 7pm till 1am, Prince Philip Building at Surgeons Hall.

Hope to see you then

Thursday 25th August – Last night of the Season games

Hi All,

We have had great interest in a season finale and the poll had a very close result. But as the Nuts are unable to play two games in a week, we are going for a mixed bounce game option on Thursday this week.

We would like to try and play two sets of games with a one day feel, timed games 6:30pm – 7:30pm and 7:30pm to 8:30pm if we have enough interest.

Ideally we will pick 4 sets of teams around 6:15 and have two games running at one time 6:30 – 7:30 and the winners play the winners and the losers play the losers at 7:30 – 8:30, we encourage this to be fun and social and hope we have plenty players to go around as the poll suggests we have 52 interested players. If numbers are low at 6:30pm we will just start and go from there.

See you all Thursday
Neil

End of Season 2022 Awards night, Friday 7th October

We have booked the same venue as recent years for the Awards Night this year. The date is Friday 7th October, 7pm till 1am, Prince Philip Building at Surgeons Hall.

There will be a buffet, fully stocked bar (we have a minimum to spend but it’s never been an issue…), we can do a quiz again, corn hole and whatever other activities we can come up with. Obviously we will have awards to give out for both leagues and the important MVP prizes too.

Please let your team know and we’d obviously look to encourage as many people as possible to come along. We will ask for confirmation of numbers within the next few weeks so we can organise the buffet and room lay our etc.

If you have any comments or views on the night then please feel free to share them with the committee.

Thanks

Iain
