Sonia Cook Memorial Trophy

About

Sonia was an enrergetic and vibrant young woman who had always been involved in sports, firstly taking to sofball as a child.  She began playing basbeall with Forest Hill in her teens and joined the Doncaster Dragons at the beginning of the 2003/04 season.

It was here that her baseball talents began to flourish.  She began the season in the 2s, making 3B her own, and after strong performances, she quickly made her way into the Division 1 team where she played a handful of games during the season.

Further to this, she was selected in the Victorian Provincial team that would contest the 2004 Australian Womens Championships in Tamworth.

He personality on and off the baseball field was infectious and you could always bet on a laugh or a joke from her.

Suddenly on the 30 January 2004, Sonia tragically passed away.

The female playing group, together with the board, decided to honour her memory with the Sonia Cook Memorial Trophy.  This award, voted by the female players, goes to a female player deemed to have contributed both on and off the field to the overall betterment of the club and someone who displays the same qualities as Sonia.
