     The Hill United Chiefs are honored to announce a series of exhibition games against the Australia Steelers. The Steelers, Australia's National Team, are playing a series of exhibition games in Ontario to help prepare for this summer's WBSC Men's World Championship in Saskatoon, SK.

 

“What a fantastic opportunity to open our tour against the ISC's champions Hill United. It will be a great experience for our new players to see what level is required to compete against a World class team. To play in these communities is a lot of fun and great exposure for our sport” – Australia Head Coach Laing Harrow

 

     As in prior years, the Chiefs will start their season at home on the Six Nations territory. This year, for the first time, Hill United will broadcast the game live on Ustream (www.ustream.tv/channel/hillustream). Players from both teams will be available for autographs between games. 

 

“There is already a strong relationship between Australia and the Hill United Chiefs with four of our very own (Adam Folkard, Nick Shailes, James Todhunter and Joel Southam) all on the 2015 Hill United roster. This is a fantastic opportunity for both teams to compete on the diamond and enjoy each other’s company afterwards. We are thankful to Bryan Porter of the Hill United Chiefs and Becky Westman in Milverton for their generous offers of hospitality” – Australia Team Manager Mike Titheradge

 

The Australia Steelers will also host a skills clinic in Milverton on Sunday the 14th‎ from 9am to 11:30am at PERC park.
