The Forgers Softball team was borne after a couple of years of informal knockabouts in
Inverleith Park and several chance encounters with existing ESL teams who were training in
the same park.
Our first season was 2003 & after stating our goal was to win a game, we won our first 2,
improving throughout that first season. Although we missed out on promotion that year, our enthusiasm
continued as we dominated 2005 gaining promotion with a 15-1 season.
Our team originally consisted of mainly staff from a well known Edinburgh financial institution, which could
be where the team name came from - but then it could be a belief that we were just pretending
to be a softball team. Maybe it's our never say die approach, typified by our first ever league
game, coming from 10 runs down in the bottom of the last innings to win.
Wherever it came from, the name stuck, & now we are a motley collection of fakers, sorry, forgers, & hope to see you either on a diamond, or at our sponsors, Avoca Bar & Grill, in Stockbridge sometime in the future.
2007 sees the Forgers back in Div 2, building on what we learned in 2006 after having lost a few players pre season gave us a hard fought 2006 season.
Our goal this year is to rebuild the team & see if we can return to Division 1 next year.
