ALL ABOUT THE DEMONS.
WHO THE HELL ARE THEY?
The Demons Softball Club was formed in October 2000.We are a club who like to play softball and enjoy ourselves.
The first team originated from 3 ex Demons softballers from Southland, rugby players from the Mixed Veges Rugby Football team and an assortment of friends.
They played happily in the Wellington Presidents league for a few years and even won a tournament. Evidently the Presidents league heated up after an influx of retiring Premier super stars, so the team promoted themselves to the Major B Ranks.
Then the ladies arrived. This group consisted of the mens wives, girlfriends and their friends. They soon showed their abilities often being higher in the ranking tables than the men. They won their grade in their second year.
A tradition developed from the start where by Players were allocated a "Demon" name after performing heroic deeds on the field. This still continues to this day for senior teams.
The club moved its base to Hutt Valley Softball Assn during the 'fuel price crisis years' after a survey of players highlighted that 95% were living in Hutt Valley. We are based in Upper Hutt, training at Maoribank park and today have many teams originating from these humble beginnings.
