00:13Hey guys, where are you from? Sydney. Carlingford Baseball Club. We've got two teams from our club up
00:22playing under the Fireballs banner. This tournament, it's such fun. I think it's the sixth year
00:29that our club has come up here. It's only my second year. I was first year that we all
00:36came up. We came up with Macquarie Saints and we weren't in the Fireballs yet. And then that came
00:43out because a couple of us, it was so cold, we put Fireball whiskey into our coffees in the morning
00:48to keep warm. And then ever since then, we've been in the Fireball. Guys, you're locals, is that right?
00:53That's right. Anyone in particular have brought you down here this morning?
00:58Oh, our sons, yeah. They all played together when they were younger locally and now they've moved away and we've
01:04come back to watch them.
01:06Oh, they're playing here today, are they? Yeah, they've been mates since they were five years old or four years
01:11old.
01:11Is that right? And who are they? Joey and George. Okay. And who are they playing for?
01:18Melbourne Uni of all people. Is that right? And what are Joey and George's surnames?
01:25Joey Hull and George Haraday. G'day, Josh. What's your team, mate, and where are you from?
01:29Yeah, we're the Hunter Dingoes from Newcastle. Yeah, playing in the B grade at the Tamworth Baseball Tournament.
01:36And how are you going? Pretty good. We're one for one and we play another game in about half an
01:40hour,
01:41so hopefully two wins and one loss. Yeah, Dingoes been here before, have they?
01:44No, this is our first year. Yep. And what's brought you here this year? Why the...
01:48We just thought we'd have a bit of fun, bring our players and see how we go.
01:56G'day, Andrew. You were with Tamworth A grade. You had a win this morning.
02:00Who'd you beat and how does that place you in the tournament?
02:03Yeah, so we've gone through number one through the round game. So we beat the Marlins. They're a
02:10Shire, the Sydney Shire team. And now we're going through to play the Canberra team in the first final.
02:17And the winner of that goes through to the big dance. To the main final on Sunday, yeah.
02:22On Monday. Ah, sorry, Monday. So I've got the Barnsers here. Mark and your five sons. Is that right, Mark?
02:27Yep, correct. And one of your boys said you didn't have a TV. Is that right?
02:32Yes. I've certainly been busy. It must fill you for a lot of joy that all your boys are playing
02:39baseball with you.
02:40Absolutely. That's why we make the trip over here. It's great. And where are you from?
02:43Ah, Port Macquarie. Okay. You've been here before I take it, is that right?
02:47Ah, me a long time ago, but yeah. Yeah, so.
02:49Oh, how long's it been between drinks?
02:52Um... About five minutes.
02:53No.
02:55No, it'd be nearly 20 years. Lockie was only a baby when I first came.
02:59But a couple of the others have been over here several times.
03:02Okay. And why the long interval and why the decision to come back this year?
03:06I just work and recovery aren't having five boys.
03:10Right, I've got some boys here from the Long Yards. Is that right?
03:14That's right.
03:14Gold Coast team?
03:15Yep.
03:16How are you going so far?
03:18Ah, pretty good. Just some umpiring issues.
03:23Nah, it's good. We're having a good time. We're down here. We're getting away from our kids and our
03:28misses. So we're enjoying it and just soaking up the sun. The weather's good. It's not as cold as last
03:35year.
