Meeting Report
Dress Shirts
As a result of decision taken at last night's club meeting, there are some changes to the distribution of the dress shirts. As we have been unable to secure sponsors for half of the 52 shirts we had made up by Monogram It, the meeting decided that the balance of the shirts will be held by the club and not distributed until sponsors can be found. Therefore, the last sponsored shirts still available will be distributed on Saturday.
Players who have paid their fees but miss out on a shirt may collect their promised shirt next season once sponsors have been found.
Any comment or discussion on this matter can be directed to the Executive and those present at last night's meeting.
Presentation Night
Saturday 9th April from 6:30pm. Details still being worked out. Invitations will be posted to all members of the club. It will be important to RSVP with numbers attending as we are having a formal dinner this year so numbers must be obtained for the caterers.
Executive Resignations
Both Claude Orenstein (Treasurer) and Deb Batley (Secretary) told the meeting they would be resigning at the AGM.

City United v Souths 19/2/11
First Grade
City United 6(dec)248 (Bede Young 81x, Shane Rutley 63, Peter Mead 24, Nathan Whale 16, Bill North 16) & 4-58 (Ross Steyn 25, Richie O'Halloran 22) defeated Souths 162 (Nathan Whale 4-23, Peter Mead 2-21, Cale Penrith 2-37, Bede Young 2-49)
A fabulous win by the firsts and their first for 14 months (19/12/09). Congratulations from all the club members to a first grade squad (including those blokes from 2nds who have filled in and done their share) who have toiled hard and often this season. These are just the first steps towards a premiership in four years time. Well done one and all but special plaudits to the senior players who have put so much time and belief into this side.

City United v Souths, 12th & 19th February, 2011
1st Grade v Souths at Riverside 1
City United 9-248 (Bede Young 81x, Shane Rutley 63, Peter Mead 24, Nathan Whale 16, Bll North 16) v Souths
Sent in on a hard flat deck, finally some pay off for the hard work our firsts have been putting in. Shane Rutley lead the way opening the innings and featured in productive partnerships with Anthony Dutton, Peter Mead and Bill North before being the sixth out at 134. When North went one run later, all the hard work might have floundered but for an explosive innings by Bede Young and willing partners in Nathan and Dan Whale and Dan Lawrence who took City's total well above anything achieved this season. Souths looked flummoxed at the close of play and will have to bat exceptionally well next week to turn back the rising tide of City men.
2nd Grade v Souths at Riverside 2
City United 161 (Anthony Cashman 54, Michael Bellamy 41, Chris Langston 23) v Souths 1-42 (Anthony Cashman 1-12)
An untidy day which still had many good points to it with City fighting hard to stay in the game. At 7-82, only Bellamy's aggressive opening batting stood out before Chashie and Langers added 41 for the 8th wicket and then McVey and Cashie 23 for the last. It was a low total but with this side being brim to over flowing with bowlers, maybe just enough. The last half hour saw Leo Steyn and Jack McVey flying past outside edges three or four times an over and all the luck rode with Souths. If only 50% of that luck changes, City could well be in this one.
3rd Grade v Souths at Riverside 5
Souths 328 (Tim Hunt 3-53. Terry Skewes 2-40, Andrew McDonald 2-57, Luke Lawrence 2-79) v City United 1-24
Skipper Cory Callcott returned to the side in time for a hiding from Souths off only 67 overs. All the bowlers were punished and after having Souths 3-65 they were pasted, especially in the last 15 overs. Still with similar conditions, City has a good blend of youth and experience and stranger things have happened and this is the side which has already pulled a few miracles.
4th Grade v Souths at Minor League 2
City United 6-104 (Neil Cooke 31, Tait Jordan 22 off 40 overs) v Souths 8-90 (Tait Jordan 3-16, Lachlan Cooke 2-11 off 40 overs)
After 40 overs each, City have the upper hand with wickets and runs in hand. Jordan and Cooke added 54 for the 2nd wicket and their is still some explosive batting to come. Souths reached 1-40 in their innings before Paul Lawrence, Neil Cooke and Tait Jordan ripped through them. Special mention to Lachlan Cooke who again impressed with his well flighted leg breaks in a tight five over spell. What smells like team spirit could convert a good start into a first win next week.

Dress Shirts Sponsorship
An opportunity exists for sponsors to come on board through sponsoring a set of dress shirts.
The standard sponsorship is $400 which pays for 13 shirts which will bear the sponsors logo on the back of the shirt. Last season, sponsors of targeted programs were offered exposure on the website for 12 months. This season, sponsors of the dress shirts program will get exposure on the website until the end of next season, with direct links from their logo to their own website or contact details and exposure on 13 shirts, one of which will be given to the sponsor. This is an infinitely better deal.To date, Six Nines Imagery and Pura Milk Distributors have sponsored two sets of the smart dress shirts. We are currently looking for two more sponsors and all club members should make it their job to help us line up sponsors for the shirts.
Unless we find two more sponsors, there won't be any more dress shirts to distribute or players might have to pay for their shirts. If you have someone in mind or, if your company would like to sponsor a set of shirts, contact Claude Orenstein or Peter Langston.

Website Changes
As a result of a training session provided by Cricket NSW and an examination of the My Cricket website being offered to City United, you will notice some changes to our own website. Most of what is being offered by the My Cricket website we already do a better job of on our own however there are real advantages in incorporating the results and stats sections of My Cricket. Therefore, sometime in the next few weeks you will notice that when you click on the Results or the City Stats links you will be redirected to the My Cricket stats/results pages. By the start of next season, we may also incorporate the selection section of My Cricket which may include email/sms contact with players about availability and selection week by week. There are issues about ease of use and cost in using the selection part of the website which will need to be explored before committing fully to it.
In keeping the best of what we already have and incorporating the best of what is now available, City United will have the best of both worlds. I hope you enjoy the changes which will include a detailed appraisal of each players performances season by season, including charts and graphs not currently available through our website.
