Tezza one of City's best.

There are so many true gentlemen, just nice guys amongst this year’s playing group. One of them is Terry Kampe. Tezza is one of those players that you want on your team and to just be around. He was introduced to City by Paul Hagley where he started playing for City in fourth grade. Tezza was one of the major reasons why fourths made it's way through to the Grand Final. He is currently playing 3^rd Grade with Peter Mead but he recently filled in as a late replacement for First Grade.

He has taken so many bowling attacks apart with his wide variety of strokes. He can also bowl that killer inswinger that has claimed so many wickets.

GOOOOOOOOO City’s gentleman of the week Tezza Kampe  CITY

Don't worry boys she is back.

(The little boys) in Fourth Grade was unbeaten till last Saturdays match. After the match the team held a discussion on where we went wrong. There was someone missing, a member of the team that was there through all our victories, but was missing on the day, this team member doesn’t bat or take wickets but she is very much part of the team. Marissa our dedicated scorer was our missing link. So watch out Souths Marissa is back for this weekend's match, the team is back to being full strength.

 

 

GOOOOOOO to all our City scorers, a big Thank You as you are very much part of the team CITY

City prides itself on being a true club, not 4 individual teams. We play for the club not for a specific team or grade, throughout the season there will be movement of players within the grades both up and down but always playing for City, that’s what being a part of a club is all about. Best of luck to everyone for the weekend matches.
GOOOOOOO may the cry of CITY CITY CITY be heard through out the town come Saturday night   CITY

We love ya work Sugar

The last few Saturdays have been a bit windy. I was watching one of lower grades matches, Sugar was batting when this fast bowler whizzed down a screamer which just missed the off stump, but the bail gently toppled off.
'I’m not out,' protested Sugar, 'pasting wind.'
'I don’t care if you did past wind,' said the umpire, 'you're out!'
GOOOOOOOOOO should have tried to hold it in a little longer Johnny CITY

They are a credit to our club.

On my way home I passed No 1 oval and thought I saw some City shirts. I pulled up and saw eight players hard at it with some fielding drills. It was the 1^st Grade captain Dan Whale with other players from the 1^st Grade squad. They have been doing extra training each Tuesday afternoons for some time now.
1st Grade is always well represented at our main training night on Wednesdays, if any grade deserves success on the paddock it is our 1st Grade side.
GOOOOOOOO  they made me tired just watching them CITY

It's a wonderful time of year

City United Cricket Club will be celebrating Christmas with a BBQ at No. 1 Oval on Saturday 22^ND December. This will coincide with our 1^st Grade side playing a day/night match against Old Boys. Not only will we be able to see our 1st Graders playing under lights but we will have a Christmas thyme to the evening. BBQ, drinks and Christmas cake with ice cream (yummy) all free of charge. Drinks will be available for $1 a can.  All players and their families & supporters are invited to come along and celebrate the festive season  So put this date into your diary and hope will see you there.
Don't forget that we will drawing three names of players who have paid their fees in full to receive half their money back. That's right three players will receive half their fees returned to them as a early Christmas Present. GOOOOOOOOO have you paid up in full yet CITY

A day of weaken teams but also of personal achievements.

All grades were affected by some very late pull-outs resulting in all teams being unsettled but the Mighty Thirds showed the way.
Third grade had an afternoon to remember, scoring 302 off their 40 overs, with Peter (I just keep getting better) Mead scoring 144 before retiring. Cory, Johnny and Andy chipped in with some nice runs as well. To finish the day Lachie Cooke took another three wickets to add to seven wickets taken the week before.
In 1^st Grade Chris Langston showed some good form with the bat to score a half century. In 2^nd Grade (which was the Grade most affected by late pull-outs) Garry Whale showed that he puts a very high value on his wicket with a nice complied 22 runs. In 4^th Grade, their captain Timothy Skewes scored his second half century on the trot. Timothy opened the Innes but was left stranded by his fellow batsmen.
GOOOOOOOO to all the players that had late changes to their matches Thank you. CITY
