Today's matches will commence as usual from 1pm. All players are requested to be their grounds at 12.30. All the best to all players and GOOOOOOOOO CITY

Back to school for the younger ones.

 On Saturday we had Souths nine down for not that many, out came their number 11 batsman with pads on the wrong legs without a hat looking as if he knew he wouldn't be here for long. I said to our young keeper " here comes a "Bunny", he started to looked all around the place. I asked him "What are you looking". He replied "Looking for that rabbit were talking about".  

For all you juniors coming through City-  While most lower order batsmen would be expected to occasionally score some useful runs, a bunny is someone dismissed cheaply everytime.
Now a ferret, refers to a batsman even worse than a bunny (as in the wild, "a ferret goes in after a bunny.")
GOOOOOOO hope never to be know as a ferret CITY

Our quiet achiever

Jack McVey has been a major part of 2nd Grade bowling attack over a number of years now for City during that time he has been recognized and been awarded with major personal trophies along the way. He turns up each week with not much fuss but still puts in for his team.

On Saturday at Riverside 1 in First Grade he was rewarded for his dedication when he was able to show his skill with the ball in hand with the impressing figures of 3/22 off 13 overs; His captain Dan Whale talked up the bowling effort showed by this young man, who is new to First Grade. The jump of standard of cricket from Seconds to First Grade can catch allot of young players out. Jack has worked hard for these figures and deserves the praise from his captain and fellow club mates. Jack's biggest fan and supporter is his mum who sits quietly out the back encouraging her boy.
GOOOOOOOOO I made it mum CITY

Look who is only a single run from a half century.

On Saturday night, City surprised the President by presenting him with a birthday cake, later this week he hits a half century, (If only his batting average was that high). He was humbled by the the kind words spoken by Peter Mead on behalf of the club. He thanked everyone for their best wishes and after blowing out the candles express his birthday wish was that City fulfils its season's "GOAL" which is having all four grades playing in the semi-finals at the end of the season.
GOOOOOOOO with hard work and playing some good cricket we can our achieve "GOAL" CITY
