EMR BOYS SOFTBALL

Well done to the Boys Softball team on their performance at EMR Softball on Monday 30th October. The boys played some tough softball throughout the day. They won their first 3 matches, which then placed them on top of their pool and into the semi-final. This was an extremely tough match and unfortunately the boys lost by 3 runs. This then meant they played off for 3rd or 4th place. I am very pleased to say that they ended up 3rd place in the EMR 2023 Boys Softball Competition (3rd out of 400+ Primary Schools in Eastern Region). 

Congratulations boys on an outstanding season and you should be extremely proud of everything you achieved. Once again many thanks to all the parental support we have had throughout the year.
