It was so heartwarming to see the players give their all. I know some of them and I've seem them practise for one hour every Wednesday night since the start of this year. Not only were they playing hard ball, they were also enjoying every minute of the sport. At the end of the day, that is what we should see happen to these kids and adults---enjoying the company of their peers and friends, savouring the camaraderie that goes with the sport, and able to feel the pain of a lost game and the joy of a winning game!
Everyone who participated went home with multicoloured ribbons as their prize for the tournament. yesterday was only the beginning of a year-long tournament in different cities of the North Island. Next stop on May 25, will be at Howick-Pakuranga. For sure, I will be there too.
