Congratulations to 5 of our young athletes who were recently named to represent North Harbour in the Under 17 and Under 15 Boys.   

Under 17 Boys  North Harbour Team will compete on the 19th - 22nd January at Colin Lawrie Fields, Auckland  - Zach Adkins, Jack Baker, Leo Ofakineiafu and Cameron Schmidt 

Under 15 Boys North Harbour Team will compete on the 16th - 18th December at the Waitakere Bears home ground, Starling Park, Auckland - Morgan Seymour and Zach Adkins

The North Harbour U19 Girls, U19 Boys, U17 Girls and U15 Girls teams are yet to be named and we wish all our ECB players the best of luck who are currently involved in the trials.

If you have played or know anyone who has played in NH Reps before you'll know these players have to fundraise for North Harbour, so please look out for our Reps selling raffle tickets at the park and help support our Reps.    

If any of our ECB players that are NH Reps (named or not named yet) would like to discuss an upcoming fundraising opportunity on Saturday 05 November please contact me to find out how you can be involved no later than Tuesday 01 Nov - 5pm secretary@ecbsoftball.org.nz

ECB Softball would like to say a huge thank you to our sponsor Emergent NZ. Their generous sponsorship has enabled us to get our newest recruits the Div 3 mens Renegades a new set of catchers equipment.  Because like our Renegades catcher in the ill fitting catchers gear - Emergent also knows one size doesn't fit all.  If you need help finding your future, get in touch with the team at Emergent.  www.emergent.nz 

Good luck for your game/s on Saturday - have fun, play hard, play fair and be proud!
