Four schools will participate - Mudgee, Lithgow, Canobolas, and Orange - in the knockout which doubles as the qualifying tournament for the Final 16 series, and to select the Western Area representative boys softball team.
The team that goes through will play at Newcastle, 2019.
The Mid-Western Regional Council has proposed a motion to waive the $163 ground hire fee due to the amount of competitors, despite a fee allegedly never being put forth for school matches before.
I’ve been running these type of events in Mudgee since 1977 and the council have never charged for a school knockout game before.
- Mudgee Softball Association president, Mick Boller
If weather permitting, the knockout will take place at West End fields, 9.30 on Wednesday, November 21, 2018.
