Queensland announced as 2027 Women's Softball World Cup host in first Australian event since 1965
Queensland has won the right to host the 2027 Women's Softball World Cup. It will be the first time Australia has hosted the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WSBC) tournament since the inaugural event in 1965 in Melbourne, where the national women's team won gold. The top eight women's teams in the world will battle for the title of World Champions at Talobilla Park in Redcliffe, north of Brisbane, from April 5 to 11, 2027. The tournament will be a qualifying event for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, held a year ahead of the games and with five years until the Brisbane 2032 Games. "This tournament will highlight Australia's strong passion for softball and the deep roots the sport has in the country's sporting community," WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari said. Softball Australia CEO Sarah Loh said it was an important step in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games. "The return of the WSBC Women's Softball World Cup to Australian soil is a powerful opportunity to inspire the next generation with Olympic dreams, boost grassroots participation and deliver lasting benefits to local communities," Ms Loh said. The first Women's Softball World Cup was played at Melbourne's Albert Park in February 1965, with five participating teams: Australia, Japan, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and USA. The Australians emerged with a 1-0 triumph over USA to claim the inaugural world title.

Heidelberg United stun Wellington Phoenix to reach Australia Cup semi-finals
Heidelberg United's dream Australia Cup run continued at Olympic Village on Tuesday night, with the NPL Victoria club thrashing A-League outfit Wellington Phoenix 4-0 to advance to the competition's semi-finals for the first time. A week after beating another top-flight club, Western Sydney Wanderers, in a 3-0 round-of-16 upset at the same venue, the Bergers were again too good in the quarter-final boilover. The tone was set early, with winger Sabit Ngor forcing a save out of Phoenix goalkeeper Josh Oluwayemi in the first minute. The Phoenix offered little in attack and it was anything but a surprise when the hosts grabbed the lead in the 34th minute courtesy of an own goal from Wellington defender Isaac Hughes. Under pressure from Heidelberg midfielder Asahi Yokokawa, who was chasing a through ball from his captain Ben Collins, Hughes turned the ball into his net past the exposed Josh Oluwayemi. Leading 1-0 at half-time, the home side put the game to bed with two more goals in the opening six minutes of the second-half. Winger Max Bisetto doubled Heidelberg's lead in the 46th minute with a stunning long-distance strike in the 47th minute, before Yokokawa sealed his team's place in a semi-final next month against either Sydney FC or Auckland FC with a well-timed finish after impressive work on the right by Ngor,' Replacement Chok Dau provided the icing on the cake in the 85th minute with Heidelberg's fourth goal in the 85th minute. 'I don't think anyone (in the team) thinks we can't go all the way,' Bisetto told Paramount Plus. 'If people don't believe it, then they should start. All credit to the boys, we were phenomenal tonight.'

Mum horrified after finding ‘disturbing' hidden messages in daughter's dress
A mum has issued a warning to parents to 'look at your kids' clothing carefully before you buy them' after she found inappropriate text on her young daughter's dress. Mum Savannah posted on TikTok after she looked more closely at her child's dress, decorated with bunnies, jelly beans, chickens and messages in tiny font. 'One day, when she was napping, I figured I'd take a peek and see what they actually said,' she explained in the clip that now has over 23 million views. She was then appalled by what she saw. One of the shocking lines was: 'Want to have an Easter egg hunt under the covers?' Another with sexually charged language read: 'This coupon entitles you to one free peep show!' 'Let's pretend we're rabbits and do whatever comes naturally,' said another message, as a different one read: 'My tulips (two lips) want to be on your tulips'. The 'weirdest,' according to Savannah, said: 'You've been the best husband and friend a girl could have ever asked for'. 'WTF,' one of the top responses read, reflecting the overall sentiment in the 20,000+ comments. Others asked, 'Where did you get that?' as some described the dress as 'disturbing,' 'nasty,' and 'ew'. 'The world is so perverted now,' said another. However, a few suggested it could have been an innocent mistake. One social media user wrote: 'aww, maybe it was an accident & they accidentally wrote all that.' The brand responds After some internet digging, commenters found out the dress was made by a US small business called Lele & Co. In response, the company took down the item and issued a statement on their website. It read: 'I would like to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate text found on one of the clothing items sold in my store. This particular piece was a resale item from a vendor, and regrettably, I did not catch the offensive wording before it was listed. 'Please rest assured that this does not align with the values I uphold or support. We are in the process of taking any and all necessary legal actions with the vendor. 'For the record, the item in question has been promptly removed from my website and all social media accounts. All remaining stock was destroyed immediately.' The brand also said they were in contact with Savannah. 'Despite the negative and hateful messages, they will not diminish the passion that founded this company. Lele & Co is facing slander based on unfounded claims. I appreciate everyone's concerns that brought this matter to my attention and allow me the opportunity to address and respond in a respectful manner,' the statement concluded. has reached out to Savannah and Lele & Co. Another clothing item criticised It's not the first time children's clothing has gone viral for seemingly inappropriate content. Last December, a Kmart $8 kids' Christmas T-shirt was criticised, dividing parents. The shirt had 'kinda naughty' printed on it, with 'naughty' in sequins. 'I'm sorry, but what is this and why is it in the kids section?' one Aussie mum said on TikTok. However, some told her it 'Wasn't that deep' and 'Everyone just thinks of things the wrong way these days'. 'There's a lot of hills to die on in relation to kids fashion. This isn't one,' another said.
