Softball star Oliver impresses as GB bosses look on

Days are filled with matches, coaching and other softball activities at the purpose-built baseball and softball facility near Slough.

Single-sex teams of male and females compete in a round-robin format on the first four days, which culminate in a tournament day to complete the series.

Drafted into the Meteors team, 15-year-old Oliver stood shoulder to shoulder with some of the best softballers in the UK and rose to the occasion with great aplomb, coming away with three hits and a walk having played centre-field.

Falcons coach David Morris, who plays in the league for Filinvest Int’l, said: “Oliver works very hard at practice with us and is a great role model for the rest of our team.

“With his skills at a young age, he is naturally attracting interest from the GB softball organisation and we look forward to supporting him as he continues to improve.”
