Titans ready for challenge

North Western Titans stayed focused on the Christmas break as they try to lock in a top spot in the Baseball Victoria regional north west competition.

The Titans entered the break in second spot, behind Mitchell Majors, who the Titans face on Sunday in their first game back.

Titans coach Nick Conroy said they’d been happy with the first part of the season.

“We are doing well,” he said before the weekend’s match.

“We’re second on the ladder and it’s a little over a month until finals. We’re in a good spot and our first game back is against the top side.

“It will be the last time we play them until finals and hopefully we go well.”

Conroy said while most teams had a break over the holiday period, they continued to stick to the task at hand.

He said the players weren’t sure to start with but brought into what they were doing.

“We’ve been doing the extra work and hopefully we will come out with a win,” he said.

“It’s something new and that consistency through the holiday period will help us.

“I’ve definitely seen some improvement in the skills. It’s helped improve the team camaraderie and understand how we all play.”

Conroy said the side was hoping to finish in top spot to give themselves the best chance come finals.

He said last time they played the MItchell Majors, but they will have a full squad on Sunday.

Conroy said the group was focused on the task they had at hand.

“Most definitely helped improve on the field

Much better direction understands that on field is just as important as off field

Conroy said things were going well across the club.

He said there had been some really good improvement from the junior program. As well.

“Ray [Isaac] has done a lot of hard work and we’ve had a lot of kids develop and understand baseball more.

“They have a great chance of qualifying for finals.”
