Softball in the sun......

This evening I enjoyed a relaxed hour in the warmth of the disappearing sun at Beau Sejour.

I was photographing the Guernsey Softball league game between the Rookies and Buccaneers.

This sport has a long history as I recall my father telling me he used to watch games when he was a youngster living near Amherst School.

There is something special about the pace of a Softball game. Firstly, it's all over after an hour. The action proceeds steadily with dramatic highlights when a batsman connects and runs for home. It's also a game that works well with mixed gender teams.

The final result had the Rookies taking an impressive win... 18-3 over the Buccaneers.

I've added a new Gallery featuring some of the action:
