These awards provide State Sporting Organisations and State Sporting Organisations with a Disability an opportunity to recognise the efforts and achievements their dedicated volunteers deliver across NSW every day.

Baseball NSW congratulates the Macarthur Senior League team on their impressive campaign that saw them earn their way to the Gold Medal game against the Southern Mariners.

They fought tooth and nail in a riveting Championship game that did not go their way in the end. The Macarthur Senior League team should be extremely proud of their efforts in the Gold Medal game and throughout the National Championships.

We would also like to acknowledge the resilient Cronulla Black team that ended the tournament in fourth - again, doing NSW proud.
