Claxton Shield Club Newsletter - Dec 2009

MEMBERSHIP UPDATE:

Welcome to a new Membership season – 2009-2010 – hope everyone is as healthy as can be and ready for the Festive Season which is upon us.

The baseball season is well under way and the new DOMINO’S NATIONAL CLAXTON SHIELD Competition is now at the half way mark. The standings as I would see them are as follows:-

TEAM Played Win  Loss   RF   RA   Games Behind.

South Australia Bite     11        8       3      54    57        -

Victorian Aces              11        6       5      59    71        2

Barbagallo Perth Heat    12        6       6      54    57        2½

NSW Patriots     12        6      6      72     54        2½

Queensland Rams     12        3      9      44     76        5½

The Queensland Rams play at Baseball Park here on December 10^th,11^th and 12^th then on January 7^th for three nights, the South Australian Bite come to Perth for a re-match against our Barbagallo PERTH HEAT.  The Bite are a different team from LAST YEAR when they only won 1 game out of their 16 scheduled games, so their appearance here on January 7^th will be an exciting challenge for the HEAT and it is hoped that the stadium will be packed to the rafters with WA Fans.
