Kia ora everyone, 

The weather forecast looks great for tomorrows ECB vs ECB fun day of softball.  You can find out all about the activites and the most up to date draw in the newsletter below.

ECB vs ECB Game Draw - Saturday 05 November

A few of our Under 11 teams aren't full tomorrow, so if any second year Under 9's that want to give it a go, please come early and we'll try place you in a team. We also have some players needed for the U15 Rebels game - so if we had some spare players from other U13 teams, Wildcubs, Barracudas that wanted to play or even last year Under 11's that might want to stay for a game that would be great.  

The object of the day is to have fun and get some game time on what would otherwise be a No Play weekend.  It's a great chance to bring your friends and family and have a fun social game, Blitzball and a home run derby.

We have a few of our ECB North Harbour Representatives who are fundraising to help pay their NHSA fees.  Some of those fundraising activities that include:

  • BBQ Sausage Sizzle – Thanks Amber and New World Browns Bay. 
  • Bake Sale  
  • Drinks available for purchase on the day. 
  • Dunk the coach 

Bring along some spare cash or we can also accept payment via QR code.
