The 2018 Winter League and Development Leagues are taking shape after an interesting day of results at Blacktown International Sportspark on Sunday afternoon.
There were 19 games held across the two competitions with a big shuffle in the ladder positions of both Leagues.
Phoenix and Cumberland Force are still unbeaten in Winter League, while Hit Squad and Macarthur continued their strong start to Development League, remaining undefeated team.
But it’s a log jam in the hunt for a top four position with seven teams within two points of the top four in Winter League with three teams within two points of a finals place in Development League.
With the Academy Games in Newcastle this weekend, Winter League and Development League will take a week’s break before returning on May 6 at Southern Districts’ Jacqui Osmond Softball Complex at Warwick Farm, with the boys Development League competition also set to tee off .
The Winter League is an open age competition for women’s players, while the Development League will include boys and girls teams in the under-15 age group.
The women’s Winter League and girls Development League competitions will continue until May 25 and take place at several venues across Sydney.
