This is great testament to the hard work of the players, volunteers, managers and Richard Evans. The club always encourage participation at all ages and produce regular high quality press releases each week during their season.
They are always on the look out for new talent as they gear up for the 2019 season. There are two teams with the Bristol Bats and the Bristol Badgers and plans to expand into a ladies team and junior set up.
In a new inclusive venture the club is launching a Wiffle Ball competition in the winter down at the Somerdale Pavilion in Keynsham.
Wiffle ball is a different version of Baseball designed for confined spaces, indoor or out. It’s played using a lighter bat and the ball is perforated allowing for different variations of spin and curve. The league will be every Saturday morning between 17th November to the 15th December.
