Our final Div 1 Home game is this Friday night and Sunday afternoon against Surfers. The boys are just 4% away from making the final four. A win this weekend should see just about see us in! It should be a GREAT DAY OUT as it is our Sponsors and Old Boys Day as well. Pray the rain stays AWAY!

Congratulations to Andrew Campbell for making Team Australia! He’s now off to Japan to play 2 exhibition games in early March. Well-deserved after a fantastic season with the Bandits, as well as being a key player in the ABL Championship Series win - a double in Game 1, 2 home runs, a double & 4 rbi’s in Game 2 & was right in the thick of it in Game 3 .

Kids, it just goes to show, any of you guys have the opportunity to go all the way too. Andrew started playing Tee Ball at Musketeers back when he was 5 years old. Playing for his club, playing for Brisbane West, playing Schoolboys State Titles. Now look at him! Still a Musky boy through and through. If you want it, go after it!

We have a proud history at this club of great representative baseballers! Some of them will be at our club this Sunday cheering on our Senior teams. Even our current Senior team roster have a wealth of experience with former ABL & National players – Josh Roberts (another Musky junior), , Wade Dutton, Rhys Niit, Steve Greer, to name a few. So let’s support these boys! Get along to our last Senior Home games of the year this Friday night and Sunday to cheer them on and help get the W!

We had a loss 11 -6 last night against top team West's Blue ... it was a good game.

Debuting the pitching mound was Mark Bramwell pitching 38 and Scott Johnston 48 and closing out with seasoned pitcher Jy Cruice 34. Matt Muller was kept busy in centre field taking 6 catches.

Mark Bramwell and Fred Redding both had 2 hits a piece. Jy Cruice, Matt Muller and Dan Ryan getting one hit each.

Thank you Doug Washington for umpiring.
