Club History

 

Way back  around 1976, a few  wives of Wentworthville Grantham Eagles Baseball Club players decided they wanted their own team.  They formed the Softball Club of Eagles, under the auspices of the Baseball Club and commenced to play with wives, girlfriends and daughters becoming  the first players and officials of the club that first registered to play with CNSA in the 1977/78 season.

Terry Adderton was then President of the Baseball club and gave his full support of a Softball Club to be formed with Pat Fortune the First President, Ron Borwick as Vice Pres.  The men were "coersed" to Umpire on the girls behalf, which in itself was a major task as they didn't know how different softball rules were.  They soon learnt.

Below is a table of events since then showing how the name of the Club changed over the years (mostly due to legal reasons & sponsorships) until we became Incorporated and thus retain our "own" identity.  Also listed are the teams  we entered into the CNSA competition and results of same.

Memorable things happened during those years (some of them unprintable on public forum LOL) but the main thing to remember is that during all of these years, the Club has always remained a friendly place to play and  many lifetime friends have been made.

Many  Eagles members  have joined the CNSA Executive in various positions and also represented at State level.  Below is a brief outline.
