From Maoritelevision:<\/a><\/p>\n

Softballs biggest rivalry resumes this week at the 2018 Softball Men’s Club Championships in Lower Hutt.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Members of the Auckland side that lost to Hutt Valley at this year’s nationals are turning out for their clubs, with redemption on their minds.<\/p>\n

Beating anyone from the Hutt Valley at Fraser Park is satisfying for many Auckland players, who have since moved on from losing at the national tournament.<\/p>\n

Auckland United infielder Thomas Enoka says, “It was a disappointing time at that tournament, [but] you get over things pretty quickly.”<\/p>\n

“We always build ourselves up to this tournament. But the moods’ good. The team’s always looking strong.”<\/p>\n

With home advantage set to play a part this weekend, Hutt Valley Dodgers look likely to challenge the defending champions.<\/p>\n

In last year final at Ballpark in Christchurch it\u00a0was Auckland who ran away with a 5\u20133 win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
