A Reminder on Fees

All players in the club are reminded that membership fees must be paid in full by Saturday 18th December. Membership fees allow members to meet their responsibility for the costs incured by the club in providing a cricket match for them to play each Saturday. City United doesn't run to make profits, it runs to make players happy. The fees are voted on each year at a Club meeting before the season commences.

This year, as a special offer, as each club member pays his fees in full, he will receive a club dress shirt at no extra cost. The cost of the shirts is being met by sponsors. Players who pay their fees will have preference in selection from January onwards and players who don't may be deemed ineligible to play in semi finals.

Thanks and congratulations to the following players who will be the first to receive club dress shirts: Simon Bellamy, Cory Callcott, Lachlan Cooke, Ryan Hansen, Tim Hunt, Richie O'Halloran, Paul Lawrence, Daniel Lawrence, Peter Mead and Claude Orenstein.

New Sponsorship Deal With Espresso Addimi

City United Cricket Club are pleased to welcome to our club a new sponsor, Espresso Addimi who are co-sponsoring the 1st Grade team kit for the day/night games this season and providing a $10 voucher to City's best player during day/night games.

Espresso Addimi are also issuing all City players with loyalty cards at their 257 Peel St premisis. Each time a player/supporter from City United makes a purchase, the card will be swiped but on the 9th purchase, instead of issuing the free coffee voucher, Espresso Addim will retain the receipt. At the end of the season, sponsors and club officials will meet to determine the level of support and a bonus payment will be made to the club based on that support. Players just need to go into the store (next to Tony Windsor's office), make themselves known as a City player and receive their loyalty card.

City United is very grateful for this sponsorship deal and urge all City players, supporters and affiliates to support this new buisness in town.

New Sponsorship Deal With Monogram It

City United Cricket Club are pleased to welcome to our club a new sponsor, Monogram It who are co-sponsoring the 1st Grade team kit for the day/night games this season and providing and providing club shirts for all players at discount rate.

We suggest you see Sue or the staff at Monogram It for all your work, organisational, sporting or protective clothing in a big range of colours and designs which can then have emblems, logos or wording monogramed in place.

ESPN Cricinfo - Dennis Lillee

For those too young to have seen him, claims that Dennis Lillee was the greatest bowler of all time may seem exaggerated in the light of the careers of Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath or Muttiah Muralithadin. Watch this four part series on ESPNCricinfo and judge for yourself.

4th Grade v Bective, 4th December

City United 8-171 (Mick Cullen 77, Pierre Steyn 41) lost to Bective East 4-174 (Luke Hagley 1-11)

After a strong batting display - their best this season - City posted a very competitive total thanks to Cullen at first and then Steyn. Unfortunately, the bowlers were then caned by Bective who got the winning runs in only 23 overs.
