Defending Central Desert Shire Softball Champions, the Yuelamu Eagles, are gearing up to defend their title. More than twenty talented young women took to the training track last week in their first step to the NT Championships in Darwin.

The competition will be hotter this year with teams from Yuendumu, Nyirripi and Willowra all entering the competition.

The Central Desert Shire Youth, Sport and Recreation team has some big activities planned for the next few months. The annual softball tournament will again feature as a great activity for women whilst a series of concerts will be exciting for young and old. The Atitjere basketball competition, which was rained out in December, has also been rescheduled for April and looks like it will be another fantastic event.

The Shire’s eastern communities (Yuelamu, Laramba, Ti tree, Engawala and Atitjere) will be taking part in an exciting live music project during the April School Holidays.
