Great Link pope, thanks. I was coach of one of the METRO teams in 2008, looking forward to Timberjacks 2009 again. I wish we had a facility like Albert Park in Brisbane.....  The Lismore volunteers always run a great Tournament. ( Gotta watch out for "Greenie" I think his name is... He zips all over the place with that little tractor and trailer of his and almost run me over once or twice.. LOL |

Ramsfan44 - Which team? I was one of the coachs for one of the Gold Coast LL teams. Have you heard how the Metro LL pitcher who had his jaw broken is? I emailed Richard not long after andhe said he was doing okay, but I still wonder..
As for there field, what any club would do for that set up like that up here. And the support crew, it was a credit to them to have us playing after all the rain during both nights. It was a great weekend, looking forward to this year.

The young bloke is fine now. Got back on the Horse and been playing LL Majors with the hardball this season. The transition from safety ball to hardball can be a bit scary for some kids.
I was Coach with the 14's, METRO traditionally try and send 2 x 12's and 2 X 14's to Timberjacks for development.

Finally back from another great TJ tourney.
Many thanks to Leanne, Paul , Geoff, all the Volunteer Umps and all the Lismore volunteers for making it happen in very wet, muddy and tough conditions.
Especially thanks to all the Lismore ground staff who did it tough 1st 2 days and beforehand keeping the fields playable.
I hope FNC can get some council/govt. Funding for raised Asphalt or Deco paths for next year and maybe a couple of large super-soakers also.
I believe a Gold Coast Team won the 12's
Brisbane METRO Red won 14's
Not sure about 16's and 20's
I had a fun time helping to coach kids from other clubs and meeting parents from many clubs.
Some confusion over pitch count limits and how to apply them but other than that, I never heard of or saw one coach or parent going berserk over an Ump's call even in tense and close games. It was indeed a very good Friendship series..
Thank You FNC Lismore and see you next year.
