KEEN cricketers took to the field last weekend after the prior week’s wash out and very much enjoyed the games.
This week looks like being very hot which should mean some great cricket so please remember to slip, slop, slap and remember to keep up the fluids. There has been a change to the Friday night games which have been transferred to Cook 1 and Cook 2.
After four weeks of games the implementation of official umpires in 12s, 14s and 16s has proven to be a wonderful success and the young men have been doing a great job.
Thanks to Bradley Cox, Clinton Harmon, Andrew Winsor, Abe Gibson and Patrick Denniss it is very much appreciated and great to see you giving back to cricket.
At our monthly meeting it was approved that an expansion to all grades of the under 10s rule permitting batting team players to field for the bowling team, if the team is short.
