JAKARTA: The national men's softball team will conclude their
friendly matches in Perth on Saturday as it prepares for next
month's Southeast Asian (SEA) Games next month.

"Our team play four Australian clubs until Saturday to test
the physical and technical abilities from the training session in
Jakarta," Indonesian Baseball and Softball Association executive
chairman Gugun Yunidar was quoted by Antara news service as
saying on Wednesday.

The team participated in an international softball tournament
in Perth on Oct. 8-Oct. 9, finishing seventh.

The national squad triumphed in Jakarta in 1997, the last time
men's softball was included in the regional multisports event.
However, the Philippines are now considered the favorite for the
SEA Games title. -- JP
