Players from Atitjere, Engawala and Laramba will travel to Ti Tree on Wednesday 23 June to play in the Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Intercommunity Softball Tournament. The four communities will play in a round robin competition, with the winner to represent CDCR at the upcoming Mparntwe Shield in Alice Springs.
It is expected that there will be a big crowd and the Pmara Jutunta community will make plenty of noise to support their home team.
Games will commence at Pmara Jutunta softball oval from 11:00am, with a community BBQ from 12:30pm. There will be giveaways for participants and medals for those lucky enough to win the tournament.
“This is a great preparation for Softball NT tournaments later in 2021, which are set to be held in Alice Springs. This is a fantastic pathway for our athletes who enjoy playing softball. There will be some huge batting hits, and we expect the day to be full of fun and friendly matches between all teams,” said Aaron Tannahill, CDRC Youth, Sport and Recreation – Operations Coordinator.
