-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NZCT MENS OPEN CLUB TOURNAMENT Akina Park, Hastings Wednesday March 22nd Sunday March 26th Fight for national club supremacy in the Bay Thursday March 16th 2005 The countrys elite male softball players will be taking to the diamondsof Akina Park, Hasting next week as they compete in the New ZealandCommunity Trust Mens National Club Championships. The 2005/06 tournament brings 25 club sides from around the country andthe fight for the title is expected to be intense with close to a dozensides looking strong enough on paper to take out the title. Hawkes Bay Softball executive officer Mark Carter believes the five daytournament will be a great chance to the regions sports fans to watchsome of the worlds best softball players in action. It will be a great tournament with 25 teams full of some of the topsoftballers in New Zealand, said Carter. There will be two Hawkes Bay based club sides competing in the form ofHawkes Bay Harvest, Tamatea. But Carter says there will also be a lot oflocal interest in a number of the visiting teams such as Metro, Mt AlbertRamblers and Porirua who all have former Hawkes Bay players in theirranks. Mt Albert Ramblers go into the tournament as the defending championshaving defeated Miramar in the final last season. They will be strongagain this season with power hitters such as NZCT Black Sox playersNathan Nukunuku, Donny Hale, Lyndon Andrew and Travis Wilson in theirline-up. Vital to the performance of the defending champions will be theform of international pitcher Thomas Cameron who has been plagued byinjuries this season. Likely contenders for the title include last season runners up Miramarwho have the pitching depth to go one better. Also looking strong isNorthcote who have NZCT Black Sox captain Jarrad Martin on the moundalong with a majority of the North Harbour side who took out the NZCTNational League title earlier in the season. Other teams who will fancy their title chances are Metro from Auckland,Porirua, Parklands Christchurch United, Hutt City United and PonekeKilbirnie. All these sides have the hitting power to demolish any team inthe tournament, pitching strength and class players in keypositions. Another factor in the tournament will be the prospect of nationalselection as NZCT Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase prepares to name a teamto travel to the Pacific Cup tournament in Japan next month.
