GOLDEN HOMES BLACK SOX TRIALISTS NAMED
The Golden Homes Black Sox have moved a step closer to the Tradestaff WBSC Men’s Softball World Cup by naming 28 athletes to attend a series of trail games next month.
Head Coach Mark Sorenson will activate four trials over the 15th and 16th of October at Rosedale Park, Albany to assess the top talent in the country. Following this event, the Tradestaff NFC will start on Friday in Christchurch and players from outside of the trial can still play their way into the final team through performance at this event.
