Another exciting season in the Casey Softball Association (CSA) may be drawing to a close – but that isn’t stopping the CSA from continuing to roll out the fun.

The association is thrilled to be hosting the Inaugural ‘CSA Men’s Masters Invitational’ on the number-one diamond at Sweeney Reserve at 7pm on Saturday 26 March.

“The game is all about having a bit of fun at the end of the season, but also to help promote the sport of softball locally,” the CSA said.

“But most importantly we are hoping to raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. It’s a great cause and one that we are delighted to support.”

“It would be great if we could get a big crowd to come along, to enjoy the atmosphere and watch a great game of softball but to also do something good for the community.”

The two teams will be chock full of talent and will be coached by Alex Chapman and Ethan Chavasse. The teams will be made up of current Masters (Over 35) players and past Masters players who have been invited back for the event.

Players will be fined for strike outs and easy dropped catches, but all in the name of a good cause.

There will also be a raffle…with the canteen and bar also open.
