Chalfont coaches helping set up new Marlow based team for 2013

The Windsor & Maidenhead League is in need of new softball teams so Chalfont coaches are kick starting the recruitment drive by helping to establish a new team based in Marlow.

Our President Neil Turner has set up three softball dates at Marlow Sports Club at 2pm on Sunday 14th Oct, Sunday 28th October and Sunday 4th November.

Each session will be a couple of hours long, and will be held on their new hockey astro.

If any of our coaches or members are interested in helping with these sessions, please get in contact.

Visit www.marlowsoftball.co.uk for more information and please help spread the word!

Phoenix - WMDMSL Division One Champions

It's 9 seasons since Chalfont Softball Club was created. 

In our first two seasons, Phoenix won divisions 3 and 2 and after 7 seasons in the top division, our players this year walked off the pitch in their last game crowned as champions of Division 1 in the Windsor & Maidenhead Mixed Softball League. 

From the one team we started with back then, we now run three great teams, a fastpitch team, started playing single sex and have links with five schools and a university. 

Well done to Sarah Wood for captaining this year, all the players that have played for all our teams, our coaches, our committee and anyone that has been involved with the club since it started. 

We are really very proud of you all. Bring on next season!

Chalfont Ladies Beat Richings Park

Last night saw Chalfont "Pyros" take on Richings Park in the club's first ever ladies game. The Pyros comprehensively beat Richings Park in a game full of excellent batting and baserunning.
Thanks to all our supporters, basecoaches, Don Chester and Chris Yoxall for umpiring and to Liz Warner for organising the game and the team.
Team: Emma-Louise Allen, Liz Williamson, Debbie Moores, Andrea Valenius, Angela Tedman, Pipp Spibey-Dodd, Naomi Wallace, Rowena Wallace, Tash Humphries, Tara Bryne, Liz Warner, Sarah Wood, Clare Winter.

Maria Taylor Charity Donation

Each season, our club adopts Goldhill Common in Chalfont St. Peter as it's home ground.

As a gesture of goodwill, we donate £150 every year to a local charity chosen by the Chalfont St. Peter Parish Council.

This year's cheque has been made payable to the Maria Taylor Charity based in Gerrards Cross who provide money for the elderly at Christmas time which we believe is a very lovely cause.

A Soggy Start to Softball Season

The club has sufffered a soggy start to the new softball season but in true Chalfont style, our members certainly didn't let it dampen their spirits.

The Firebirds reignited their spark during their first league game against Richings Park on Thurs 19th April but sadly lost 10-15 even after what Captain Liz called 'an EPIC comeback'.

After their first league game vs Wildcats last week being called off, Tues 24th April saw The Phoenix soaring over Richings Park to claim their first victory of the season, a 5-15 win led by Captain Woody.

Playing on the same night but at our Goldhill Common home ground, The Flames played an excellent game against Wildcats but one drizzly innings cost them and they lost 16-23. Captain Deeble says, 'some positives to take out of it to work on'.

Well played all in such sodden conditions, let's keep our fingers crossed for sunshine next week!
