It’s about playing for a club.

When you sign up to play for City United, you are signing up to play for the club not a particular grade.  This is on show in this week’s teams, from the victorious 3^rd Grade side that beat West Tamworth last weekend nearly half the team is back playing 4^th Grade to take on Norths.

Josh Cooke, Russell Pitt, Brock Dunn, Liam Rogers and Noah Pitt all contributed to that wonderful performance and will be keen to continue their good form.

Best of luck to all players this weekend and may your chapter of the story told of the match will be a telling one

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CITY

All smiles at City 2nd's, cause we had a victory today.

Mark with Johnny, both were happy after their win on Saturday.

The captain who had the biggest smile on Saturday night back at the Golf Club while enjoying a refreshing drink after the matches was 2^nd Grade captain Mark “Puff” Fisher.

City had half its playing group unavailable for Saturday’s match. Mark called in some wounded and retired warriors to help him out on the day.



Simon Bellamy was one of the late fill-ins.

A very big thank you must go to Dan Rogers, Simon Bellamy and Cooper Thompson for filling in at the last moment. It was also great to see the return of Jacob Hawley back to cricket and in City’s colours, Jacob’s 39 run with bat and combined with his 4/55 off 8 overs;  was a stunning return.

GOOOOOOOOOOO for the love of it CITY

It doesn't get any better than this!!!!!!!! Three from Three.
