Baseball WA Under 14 Division 4 Premiers trophy

Overview

This trophy, in the shape of a silver-coloured cup on a 10 cm-square marble block, is mounted on a square, red-coloured wooden base. Attached to the front of the wooden base is a rectangular metal plate engraved with details of who would be awarded the trophy. On the underside of the base is a manufacturer's stamp as well as a handwritten inscription and seven original signatures.

Historical information

As reported in the Baseball WA Annual Report for 2005/06, the Under 14 Division 4 Premiers were Balcatta after they defeated Swan Districts 11 to 1.

However, what can be seen of the handwritten inscription on the underside of the trophy reads:
'Swing with the BBC
BBC 15 Perth
2005-06'
This possibly refers to the 'C' Grade Balcatta team which defeated Perth 15 - 5 in the 2005/06 grand final.
