Softball squad
By TIM DUNBAR
Mr tom Hurinui, still the Canterbury men’s softball coach, although now living in Palmerston North, will fly down to Christchurch this week-end for his first assignment of the new season. The Canterbury men’s training squad of 23 was named yesterday by the selectors, Messrs Dale Eagar and Leon Fife, and Mr Hurinui will be putting the players through their paces at Western Ball Park on Sunday morning. Mr Hurinui will be making several such long hauls down from the North Island this season. He reapplied for the coaching job after gaining the respect of the players for his efforts last season and he has undertaken to travel to Christchurch for a number of Sunday training sessions. The big squad will be whittled down to 15 before
the first representative matches of the season,
against Otago and South Canterbury at Timaru on
November 21. Mr Fife, the team manager. said that the squad was quite a strong one and cutting out seven or eight players might be difficult. Despite the size of the squad, only four senior clubs are represented and one of those. Richmond, has a single representative, Andrew Sinclair. The uneven distribution of talent among Canterbury softball clubs is only too clear.
The full squad is: Tony Mountford. Paul Shannon. Maia Toa. Paul McFarlane. - Mark McFarlane, Dean Couch, Neil Stuart, Ray Marsh (United); Chub Tangaroa, John Daly. Graeme Anderson. Murray Lanini. Jimmy Hall. Alan Hall. John Kottier, Roy Ah Kuoi. Wayne Poore (Burnside); Colin Sutherland, Garry Bishop. Rennie Tai, Dennis Wiersma. Dick Dolan (Papanui); Andrew Sinclair (Richmond). Alan Hall’s selection is subject to availability. Training Sunday morning. 9.30, Western Ball Park. Advertisement
