Softball awards night could be a Black Sox benefit 

Wednesday August 18th 

The annual New Zealand Softball awards dinner in Lower Hutt this weekend 
could turn into a Black Sox benefit as they sport looks to celebrate 
outstanding achievement in the 2003/2004 season. 

Looking back at the season the highlight was obviously the victory by the 
Black Sox at the world championships in Christchurch earlier this year.

men's and women's game, emerging stars, coaching and administration with

discussion on Black Sox new v's old guard while the speaker for the night 
will be Black Sox photographer Kevin Clarke. 

New Zealand Softball chairman Dale Eagar says it is important to celebrate 
success and Saturday night August 21st will be a chance to do just that. 

"The thing about the Black Sox is that there are so many things to 
celebrate. Firstly that they won the title and secondly the fact that they 
defended the title recording a history breaking three peat and then there 
is the celebration and recognition of what the team and management did to 
get to the top," said Eagar. 

Also as part of the evening there will be new inductions made to the 
Softball New Zealand Hall of Fame. 

The awards evening is all part of the sports annual AGM and Conference
