We recently had our State Presentation Night, held at Thoroughbred Park on April 12th. We had a very successful night with plenty of talented members of our community walking away with well deserved awards.

President, Frank Curcio, made a heartfelt speech reminding everyone that we are united as a sport, and together we can achieve greatness.
Frank also chose a member of the Softball community to be awarded the President’s Award, unfortunately they were unable to attend on the night, but the award recipient was the well known Tony Bishop.
Tony can be found at the Hawker facility most mornings, out and about helping to maintain the facility. He does everything from emptying the bins, to maintaining the diamonds. We are very grateful for all he does to help out at Hawker!
