Sugar arrives at Cricket with both of his ears all bandaged up. Scotty says, "What happened to your ears?" Sugar replies, "Yesterday I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang and shhh! I accidentally answered the iron." Scotty with a grin, "Well, that explains one ear, but what happened to your other ear?" Sugar with embarrassment, "Well, I had to call the doctor didn't I"

The 1st Grade pre-season match against Armidale City (our sister club) was a huge success. The weather was kind to us in Armidale and it was a delight to play on a turf wicket. It was hard to tell our two clubs apart with similar names and the same Gold and Maroon club colours.
The match proved to be a great hit out for all players involved. City batsmen amongst the runs were Dan Whale 26, Cory Callcott 23 and Mark Fisher 19. The President's Man of the match went to Mark Fisher.Mark struggled at the crease but valved his wicket and work extremely hard to accumulate his 19 runs.The bowling, saw Harrison Kelly pick up 4 wickets for 19 in a tight 8 overs and Tait Jordan bowled at the stumps and picked up 3 wickets, while Nick Blake was able to collect 2 wickets. Both team ended the day at a pub where a refreshing soft drink was enjoyed.
A very big thank you must go to Paul Lawrence for driving the bus and Phil for scoring on the day.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwe will see you City boys again next yearCITY
