What an incredible week of softball! As the dust (clay) settles, the post tournament blues are kicking in. After 18 months of hard work, commitment and dedication, it’s hard to believe it’s all over just like that…
We finish with a 5–5 record, recording victories over Belgium, Lithuania, Poland, Norway and Poland again to secure 7th place.
There were some incredibly close and hard fought losses, particularly against Ireland and silver medallists Germany. On another day, the results could have gone the other way and we may have found ourselves fighting for a bronze medal.
For an island of just 65,000 people, we’ve shown that Guernsey can compete with the very best in Europe. We’re immensely proud of what this team has achieved and are excited for what the future holds!
A huge congratulations to every member of the squad. You represented Guernsey with pride, gave everything on the diamond, and inspired everyone supporting you both from home and abroad.
A special thank you to those who made this trip possible, without your support it simply wouldn’t have happened – Giggsy, Jussie, Id, GSA, Sarnian Roofing, Baseball Outlet, Printed in GSY, Boombah, Kay, Ben, Sinead, Kaileigh, Kirstie and Matt.
Finally, thank you to our incredible supporters. Whether you travelled to cheer us on in person or followed every game from home, your encouragement meant the world to us. Reading your messages and comments throughout the tournament kept us going, and we’re so grateful.
This may be the end of one journey, but it’s only the beginning of the next.
SARNIA CHERIE!
