Play Of The Day: Yvonne's amazing pick at third that led to the tag for the final out.
Dirtiest Uniform: Ger Doolan08/05/00 Temple Devils 1 Big Al’s Flyers 23 St. Ann's Park What a score!! Not bad for a game that we started so badly. With only one run in after two innings, nerves started to creep in until a batting frenzy in the third inning led by Jaz and Fiona saw 8 runs score. The defiance stood solid all throughout the game, even though the Devils had some strong hitters. The only run scored by the devils was a home run ( or maybe a drop Tony?? ) in the last inning. The infield did it's job well on a rough ground and facing a low blinding sun. As the game went on, the batting just got better and better - so much so that Betty ran to third base for the first time ever, not to mention Cora hitting three doubles in a row. Let's hope we can keep the momentum up. Play Of The Day: Fiona Mac's stand up triple Dirtiest Uniform: Junior
15/05/00 Big Al’s Flyers 19 1Z Blazzers 14 ALSAA A very good softball game close all the way to the until the flyers batted in seven nearing the end of the game. Both teams contributed to a good game. There pitching suffered a bit because there normal pitcher was not playing Joe Healy did a good stand in job although some walks helped the flyers in the end. Some crucial hits from James and Cora helped a great deal and our captain Betty chipped in with some well needed base hits. All the girls played well and everybody did there bit. The outfield played well and Tony had another juggle with the ball before he caught it but what's new there. And as to why Junior plays in the Senior its because he's plays for the best softball team - and they play in the senior league. And yes, Junior did write this match report!!

Nice venue, friendly opponents but a forgettable game. Hard to get going again after a flyers blitz. Highlights were Adrian coming back from injury for his first game of the season and scoring 4 runs. Cliodhna made her debut as a Flyer. Mick Jacobs missed his lift ( yet again!! ). Lowlights was most of our batting. The Bearcats scored 7 in the bottom of the fifth to give us a wake up call. Our fourth league win should mean we finish in the top half and so at least avoid another relegation.

Thank God - It was pissing rain all week!!02/05/00 Big Al’s Flyers 17 Riverdeep Piranhas 5 ALSAA A nice friendly game saw the flyers guarantee themselves a place in the next round of the cup ( to be drawn against Marlay no doubt!! ). Even with junior popping up three times in a row, we managed to outhit the opposition. On the other hand, Betty seems to be getting the hang of this right field hitting lark! All we need to do is shore up that leaky infield to keep the oppositions' runs down. Play Of The Day: James' Umpiring/Coaching technique Dirtiest Uniform: Deano
