Masters locked in for two more years
Words by Nick Crockford

Softball Queensland’s largest event – the annual Masters Tournament – will be back in Moreton Bay for the next two years.

Following the success of previous events dating back to 2019, City of Moreton Bay has agreed to financially support the Masters in 2025 and 2026.

The tournament has grown each year and was held last weekend with more than 350 games across three days (August 2-4) at three venues.

They were Talobilla Park in Kippa-Ring; the Ray Frawley Fields at Clontarf and Dances Road Sports Fields in Caboolture.

On the grounds of Redcliffe Leagues Softball Association, Caboolture Sports Softball Association, Redcliffe Padres Baseball Club and Redcliffe Junior Rugby Union Club.

Together they hosted more than 1800 players officials and supporters with 114 teams in 17 women’s and eight men’s divisions.

All had grand finals, in the social but competitive tournament now in its 24th year.

It is hoped in future years tournaments grow again with an increase in teams coming from across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and New Zealand.
