Game 1
The Jacksons Falcons got off to a flying start to their indoor season, keeping their cool in a fast paced game against the Eleven ISS Flyers. Although there was no way of knowing the standings during the game, the team kept spirits high and smiles wide, with excellent first outings by newcomers to the sport Rob Smith, Rob Le Brun and Jade Wright, and cohesive match play from the returning team members. Slick changes between bases and a fast return from the outfield kept the outs coming, and allowed the Jacksons Falcons to end the match 81-38 despite a strong opposition.

Game 2
The Jacksons Falcons lined up for their second match of the Indoor season against a reinforced All Sorts and Moore, and welcomed Serena Louise and Theresea Lambrick to the team for their first outing in competitive softball. Julie Daniel also made her return following her charity trek to the Everest Base Camp. The Falcons started strongly, and quickly found their groove at bat, despite a strong pairing of Tim Jones switching between Pitcher and Short Stop for All Sorts and borrowed Pirate 1st baser Carlos Teles. Fielding was equally as smooth for the Falcons and some great catches were made, including an important out at home plate for newbie Lambrick. There was little to separate the teams, who each started to show some cracks in fielding in the later stages, however the win came down to one particularly strong innings for All Sorts, who took 4 home runs in the one inning, the 20 points plus earned with those 4 bats eventually resulting in a win by 18 runs for All Sorts

Game 3
The third game was always going to be a hard task, the Jacksons Falcons going up against last years champions CPA Global Pirates, who have yet to be beaten in the current season. Undeterred, the Falcons started off strongly both at bat and in the field, with a number of catches off the bat and on the rebound and some slick exchanges between fielders. The Falcons could not hold off their opposition however, and the Pirates stretched a lead in the latter half. Some great moments from both old and new players, and a further demonstration that the Falcons continue to improve their game. Final score 75 - 28 to the Pirates.
