New season, new grounds
After playing for many years at the Hutchesons Auldhouse grounds, the league is moving to the Lochinch Sports Pavilion within Pollock Park. This will be the location for both the Outdoor Season and this year’s Tartan Tournament.
Situated just off Dumbreck Road in the beautiful surrounds of Pollok Park, Glasgow’s largest and only Country Park within Glasgow, Lochinch Sports Pavilion is minutes from Glasgow City Centre and a haven for active visitors.
Facilities
Toilet facilities are available and changing and showering facilities will become available as COVID restrictions lift.
Times
The grounds are open from 18:00 and at the moment there is a hard closing time of 21:00 meaning all games will be timed and will finish by 20:30, regardless of the result, to allow for time to clear out.
Softball is back, baby!
With the lifting of the pandamic restrictions across Scotland, we are exited to announce that there will be a Glasgow Softball Outdoor season. We will start off the summer with a series of open nights, available to new players and old members alike, at our new grounds at Lochinch Playing Fields. These nights are Tuesday the 27th of April and Thursday the 29th of April from 18:30 to 20:30.
We will have an 8 team league this year featuring the AJ’s comp and rec, Fockers, Highland Chargers, Honey Badgers, Pimpin’ and Saltires. Fixtures are already up. Umpires have been assigned. Let’s play ball.
