Wrap Up of the QLD Patriots - John Reid Shield

The QLD Patriots got off to a great start in their bid to bring home the John Reid Shield however, as in the game of softball, it seemed that elusive one run stood between them and the opportunity to challenge for the title. The boys played with great spirit, pride and conviction and are already looking towards the next National Championships in 2014 to do our state proud. Congratulations to all of the players and coaching staff. Check out the team at www.qldheatandpatriots.com
