Playing Softball on Miri City Council's padang

This is what Kevin of Critters have to say :-

Eh guys... seriously I think MMC padang is one of the best place to place Softball in Miri.... amazing.... can we like book with the council in advance for next year?... like say.... in every year we book for 3 months or so.... ? and then we try our best to revive the league... and even get the Brunei teams to commit themselves to come... if not once a week... once every 2 weeks....Playing on Sunday (despite losing badly)... I felt the atmosphere of MMC very fitting for Softball.... people passing by the highway can look down at us... i have some friends even called me on Monday... asking... whether was it us playing Softball in MMC... I said yeah.... they said... cool man....What say you?... I think if we can increase the prize money (lets say champions get RM2000.... 2nd Place get RM1200...3rd Place gets RM800... so which means we need to get sponsors from corporations totalling RM4000 per year for prize monies... which is not much right?... I mean school students collect more than that for their school magazines....)... (but dont ask me to ask **censored** la....they may cut my pay for that... haha)... and a challenge trophy.... (sponsored by Ah Kong... haha) I think the response will be better... and the game will be moving forward....Well... that's just a thought anyway.... any takers?

Great organization, good outlooks of uniform,(especially of Stearler),a successful invitation all the way from Kuching & Brunei.it's better we have a connection from Sabah( whether there is a team?)So called a Borneo Team is build,champion might represent Borneo go for competition.please bear in mind they r plenty of players which we need to encourage etc ..school student and friends around,the motive of organization of softball MIRI is healthy , gathering , fun, kind of team work sport, not only want to win the trophy ,find strong player kept in yr own team,we should spirit those key players and 2 , 3 ,so that when tehre's a tournament above ten teams can participate.cheers up ,u guys have down a good job.while i read yr news , i m far away at thailand.there's a tournament too right here.cheers....

I see.... would that guy be Jesse Chin ? beacuse he ever told me that Thailand have plenty of SOftball activities, does your team have a web site, or maybe you can let me have your email so we can communicate more about softball in the future

Ishak said...

The 4 messages left by annoymous, are they from the same person ? you can choose 'other' and use a nick name for easier identification.
The field was booked for 14th,31st July and every sunday of the month of september, we expect to complete the league latest by 2nd Oct, just before the start of Ramadan.
Yes, we did play once in Johor for the under 19 or 21 tournament, that time we were representing Sarawak, I think you must have mistaken another team for us, but we did have a very good pitcher.
