In a relaxing moment last night, my wife and I were sitting at home. I was going through some old City score books, reading some results.
She rested her head on my shoulder, "Do you remember the day you proposed to me after that cricket match?" said she, romantically. "You were so confident and bold ."
"No I wasn't," I muttered , "I was out, caught and bowled !"
GOOOOOOO it was a moment of not keeping one's eye on the ball CITY

Talking of selections
At City's selection meeting last night Paul Fisher was writing down his preferred team list when one of our selectors noticed this new players name. 'Who's Bill Robinson?' asked Leigh Dwyer
Paul jumped in with excitement 'He won us the match last week.'
'Really? Is he a batsman or a bowler?' asked Leigh
'Neither. He's the umpire.' Paul replied with a grin
GOOOOOOO where would we be without the umpires CITY

Training up-date.
GOOOOOOOO training hard, play hard CITY
An amazing achievement
Anthony Fitzgerald has achieved what crickets could only
dream of; he has scored his second century in as many matches. On Saturday
against South’s he scored another century, this follows up his 138 runs against
Wests the match before. What makes it
even more special is that he retired on both occasions to end his innings. As
one of his team mates said with a laugh “we are sick of clapping him”. What a
wonderful achievement Anthony.
GOOOOOOO I got tired just watching him bat for so long CITY
