Team
B-Sharps, FIMA SDC, came out on top of this year’s hardfought
Fleet Base West (FBW) Softball competition.
All 11 teams competing for the coveted trophy came from HMAS
Stirling.
Building 18 (FIMA) had four teams nominated and all members
had been training hard, honing their skills leading up to
the event.
SMFEG also have a good sporting pedigree and were not going
to be easy to beat.
WOPT Allan Von Senden and CPOPT Mark Klopper made fair calls
all day behind the keeper’s plates, despite appeals to the
contrary from some enthusiastic competitors.
The Plate Final was contested between The Deep Sea Racing
Prawns (Wardroom) and Swingers (FIMA). The Deep Sea Racing
Prawns held on for a close win 19- 16.
In the Cup Final, B-Sharps played NFI (SMFEG) in a tight game
that could have gone either way.
B-Sharps held on for a 15-11 win.
CO HMAS Stirling, CMDR Philip Orchard presented the winning
teams with their trophies and glasses.
