We have launched the Forum for softball chat, taunting the opposition, bribing the blues and challenging members of the opposite sex to drinking competitions (MSL does not condone drinking competitions, unless you know you're going to win - in which case it's OK).

The Calendar is now active, this will provide an up to date list of events such as Tournaments, League Nights, Training Sessions, Meetings etc. Users can add their own items to the calendar which will be checked by the site admins and then be available to everyone to view.

There will also be a Photo Album section of the site, which will allow you to post your own pictures and videos - show us all your amazing triple play, that game-winning slide into home or just the funny faces you pull when striking out for the third time in a row.

Along with the new look to the website we will have a more rounded Archive of information from past seasons as well as a better facility to search the archives. Past seasons' data will be added on an on-going basis, so not everything will be available straight away. If there's something you'd like to see added just get in touch with us and make a request.

As we near the new softball season here in Manchester there is a plan to add a more fully rounded team Profile section, you can bask in the glory of a 14 game winning streak - or revel in the memory of crushing dreams as you ended a teams hopes of an unbeaten season.

Very importantly the website will become the focal point for all softball related News coming out of Manchester as well as items from the Softball community at large, if its happening, it's on the website. This will include information on Softball Tournaments and all sorts of interesting stuff that will keep you coming back every day for more goodies.

All of the useful Information from the previous website is beginning to be brought across to the new site, including our Contact details, information on the Venues we use for games, training and tournaments, information on how to start playing softball and how to join a team or even how to start your own softball team - it's not as difficult and 100% more enjoyable than you might think!

As with all new babies (I'm sure certain website regulars know this better than others) there are bound to be hiccups and maybe a couple of teething challenges, so please be patient as we bring the new website upto speed, and if you do notice anything you feel is amiss then just drop a line to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

Stay with us for a fantastic 2007 and beyond!
