This week at softball saw the Senior Team playing Hato Paora and the Development Team playing Manukura.

The Senior Team continued their strong form in the build up to the North Island championships. Batting first, they were able to put 4 runs on the board and restrict Hato Paora to 2. A fruitful second at bat saw the score sore to 11 with Hato Paora unable to add to their tally. 4 more players home took the score to 15 and when HP were out without troubling the scorer another Mercy win was recorded.

The development team had their toughest assignment to date, playing against Finalist contenders, Manukura. An even start to the game saw the teams heading into the second inning at 2 all. Some panic set in out in the field which allowed the Manukura team to capitalise and saw 6 home to go up 8-2. The development team continued to chip away stealing another 2 runs and went into their last at bat 11-4 down. They were able to get batters on base but could not get any home losing 11-4.
