ISLAND Salvage Manolos created
history in the Lae softball after all its four divisions claimed
the minor premiership title following the end of the round of
competition last weekend.
This included its A grade men and women and B grade men and women.
The A grade men and women are the current national club champions
and their outstanding performance again this season is a testimony
of coach Paul Pasen’s no-nonsense approach.
