Today marks the start of the men’s 2009-2010 A-Grade baseball grand final at Narrabundah Baseball Park.

This year’s grand final will see defending champions the Bandits take on last years runners-up the Ainslie Bears in a dramatic rematch.

The Ainslie Bears beat out the Weston Creek Indians in last weeks semi finals 6-5, 7-0 to secure their place in the grand final.

The Bears have had a solid season and have already shown they have the capacity to beat the Bandits securing two wins against them throughout the season.

The Bandits go into the grand final on the back of an extremely successful season with 25 wins to 5 losses.  They are defending a two year winning streak and are hoping to walk away with a third consecutive Esmonds Cup.

If previous games are anything to go by, then this is shaping up to be a close grand final. Each time these teams have met the games have been high scoring and close.

The B-grad grand final will be Indians v Bandits. This will put extra pressure on the pitchers for the Bandits should the games be close on sunday.

Game 2: Sunday 28 March, Narrabundah Baseball Park, 3:00pm
