Peninsula Ducks seek softball players

The Peninsula Ducks Softball Club is seeking players for 2019-20 season.

The Ducks were formed in April last year by Central Coast Softball Association member Ms Di Barrymore.

Based at Woy Woy, Ms Barrymore said the Ducks were a family friendly club, seeking to establish a dedicated player base while helping to develop softball in the area.

In their inaugural season, the juniors placed third in the Central Coast Softball Association's junior competition and both the Duck's Women's Division 4 teams made the top five, with the Whites placing second and the Purples fifth.

Ms Barrymore said it was a fantastic result for the Ducks for their first season, having gone toe-to-toe with some clubs that had decade-long legacies, more resources and more players.

The 2019-20 softball season starts in October.

The Ducks will be hold fundraising events to help purchase new equipment and cover expenses.

The Ducks' latest registration day was held at Jasmine Greens Park Kiosk at Umina on August 3 but information about the club as well as how to get involved is also available on their website.

The club is particularly keen to hear from any interested men as they weren't able to field a men's team last season and Ms Barrymore said it was a goal of the clubs to get a men's team up and running in the future.
