The social game is touted as ‘Mounties vs the World’.
Organiser Geoff Boorer is putting together a team (the ‘Mounties’) that is sponsored by the Australian Hotel in Wingham, and is inviting all comers to come participate in a fun game – more people are needed to field a second side for the Mounties to play against on Sunday.
Geoff is a bit of a baseball aficionado, having set up a local competition with his first team – The Mt George Mounties” on December 5, 1995.
Geoff is hoping to get enough people interested in playing the game to field a competition starting in April 2017. Ideally, he said, four teams would be better, but three would be enough.
In the meantime, if you fancy having a try at the all-American game, pop over to Central Park on Sunday at 10am. Refreshments provided.
