Westgarth come up short in Semi-Final

The Westgarth Fourths have come up short in their 3 - 18 Semi-Final Loss against Research. After the Westgarth and Research juniors teamed up in their Grand Final in the morning, it was the respective senior sides doing battle down the road in the afternoon. The experienced Research team proved too strong with their hitting as Westgarth only managed to put some runs on the board late in the game. Congratulations to the Fourths for representing Westgarth in the final series and for a successful season. Team Opposition Result Score Fourths( D Reserves) Research  Loss  3 - 18   More

Message from the President

Dear Westgarth Members Over the course of this season, the Committee and I have observed and had reported to us a worrying trend at Westgarth Baseball Club games. There has been in increase in aggressive and abusive behaviour in our games involving the throwing of equipment, use of bad language and culminating two weeks ago in the abuse of a Merri Park user.

In response to these events the Committee will be taking the following actions: 1) Before each game this weekend a Committee member will address each team and reinforce our commitment to removing unacceptable behaviour from our games 2) Team managers will be encouraged to support umpires - particularly club umpires - to act when unacceptable behaviour occurs.
