Blackhawks Will Have Much Extra Support
Sunday Afternoon
By "TIME OUT”
Another full softball programme for the holidays gets under way on Easter Sunday as the Senior "A" leaders, Hank Killeen's Warriors, play off a double-header and on Easter Monday the spotlight falls on the Men's & Ladies' International Finals between China and Portugal.
With their League fixtures already completed and just one loss bék!üa tie Warriors, the Saints and Pandas squads will be out in full force on Sunday at 2.00 p.a. at King's Park to lend much-needed vocal and moral support to Olly Vas' Blackhawks when the Hawks cross bats with the Warriors in a long-awaited return match, the result of which will either hand the Warriors the Championship outright If they win or throw the race into a four-way tie if the Hawks repeat their first round victory.
