Co-Ed Division 2 took centre stage in last weeks softball programme with their divisional knockout being played throughout the day on Saturday.

Mercator emerged victorious with a comfortable victory over Core Focus Rookies in the final winning 16-5. The very windy conditions caused more of a problem for the Rookies pitcher with Mercator’s Gary Le Page pitching superbly throughout the game. Mercator scored 9 runs in the 2nd innings to set up a good base to record the victory. This trophy is Mercators first ever softball silverware in 5 years of playing and special mention must go to new team Generali Panthers who made Mercator work hard in the 1st round just scraping through 16-10.
