Another good season came to end on Saturday as our boys went down to Brother Marlins 4-3.

Was a hard fought game that saw our boys took the lead 3-1 in parts of the game but it was the Brothers Marlins proven too strong and register 3 more runs to take the win.
Graham Keleu on the pitching plate restircted our batting power while young Landes' home run ignited the Marlins come back.

GRAND FINAL BOUND🧡🖤

An outstanding performance from Melly Taragau and Son Ezekiel Taragau in the short stop backed up by superb catching from vice captain Tonny Penny has secured the first spot of the 2025 Lae Softball Association Grandfinal yesterday beating the spirited Brother Marlins 5-1.

The game was on the balance, 2-1 in our favour until the bottom of the 6th inning, some good batting in likes of Michael Pulu, Tonny Penny, Graham Foremat and Melly Taragau, registered 3 more runs to secure the win in the top of the 7th inning with Marlins failing to put points.

Marlins will today play the Jets who beat Manolos in a tie breaker yesterday thanks to a home run by young Tonny Lamei.

The young vibrant Collin Senge coached side led by power hitter Collin Mangot and Nigel Lamei is the only team that beat Brother Marlins in the regular rounds so we are expecting a ripper of game today 🇬🇦

Grandfinal stage is set for next week Saturday 12.04.2025.

Lae Softball Association Season 2025 kicked off yesterday. How good!!
Hats off to all senior players and LSA executives. Been a tough couple of years but because lo upla na umi can play softball gen.

So we completed pre-seaon last week as Grandfinal runners up to the Brother Marlins 6-2.

This week proper season started and we started our 2025 campaign with a win and loose.
We go down to Marlins again on Saturday 7-5 than ran over Tigers yesterday 15-3.

We look forward to another battle this weekend.

Games are on Saturdays and Sunday so please come down to Eriku Oval and support your team.

Down memory lane.
