Canterbury softball coach in a fix
The Canterbury men’s softball coach, Mr Dennis Rea, is in a bit of a .spot regarding Sunday’s doubleheader against Otago at Linfield Park. . Mr Rea’s representative squad consists of only 11 players and three of them — (“Chub”) Tangaroa, and Garry Bishop —- are also in the Canterbury team for the national colts tournament which begains at Timaru on Monday. "They’ll not be wanting two games against Otago and then a whole week of softball at Timaru,” said Mr Rea.
He may compromise by using the trio of one of the games — starting at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. respectively —
and bringing in -more players (depending on who is available) to the squad. The double-header, originally scheduled for November 16, will provide the second meeting of the season between the two provinces. Otago had a 4-3 win in their encounter during the Jefferies Cup tournament, but could not afford to make the trip to Auckland for the nationals over the Christmas-New Year break. Otago’s team will be at full strength, spearheaded by the burly hurler, Peter Roberts, an unlucky omission from the New Zealand team after pitching South to an-upset 1-0 win over North last month- *
