Today the MSA Executive Committee had the absolute Today the MSA Executive Committee had the absolute pleasure of putting forward to our members the nomination of Sue James to be awarded the Lorraine Ireland Award of Excellence, a motion which was carried unanimously. 

To put into context, this is the highest award available to our members, and before today had been awarded only twice in the associations long history, firstly to Lorraine Ireland herself, and then to the esteemed Elaine Duyvestyn. This is an award that recognises extraordinary effort and a sustained contribution to the Melbourne Softball Association over an extended period. Those that have gone above and beyond to set a benchmark of excellence. This is something that Sue James has achieved in her 37 year involvement at Fawkner Park. 

Sue’s legacy to softball at Fawkner Park is evident in the many players and coaches that are still involved in the sport that came through her tutelage. A lot of the principles that Sue exercised as a coach and mentor are still being implemented some 20 years later, and will continue beyond this. Sue has set the benchmark on what exceptional coaching and development looks like, and what she’s given to softball, particularly here at Fawkner Park cannot be measured. 
Congratulations Sue on this incredible achievement. The Melbourne Softball Association will be celebrating Sue and formally presenting this award on our Grand Final Day celebrations in September.
