Fourth Grade One Day Match - Saturday 19th November

The rain came at the wrong end of the week again for the higher grades, with only fourth grade being able to get onto the paddock for the first of the one day matches this season.

A number of higher grade players, supporters, wifes and families turned out to watch the fourth grade match and give there support for our fourth grade team throughout the afternoon. It was a real carnival atmosphere with a few marquees setup, music playing and a few snags on the BBQ also to ensure everyone was well feed with a few drinks available if the need arised.

The supporters showed fourth grade how it should be done by playing a game of back yard cricket on the side line during the afternoon, with the one hand one bounce rule causing a few partnerships to come unstuck!

Fourth grade would like to thank everyone for showing their support throughout saturday afternoon.

All players are reminded of training every Tuesday and Thursday, lets keep our high attendance numbers and work with Matt Walter and Dan Whale in running some of there fielding drills as well as well as the use of the bowling machine.

Do you want to improve your cricket performances on the weekend? training is a good start. There are always some experience players at training to give you advice if needed and it’s great to see all our captains attending training always watching for there next player putting in the effort, it does not go un-noticed.

So make an effort, if you are not already attending at least one session a week to work on your skills. see you there.
