You are never to old to play fourth grade.

A group of older City 4^th Graders were talking back at the City Bowling Club after a training session.

”My arms are so weak I could hardly throw the ball,” said Paul.
“Yes, I know.  My cataracts are so bad I can’t even see the ball,” replied Terry.
“I couldn't hold the bat because of the arthritis in my fingers,” said Ron, to which several nodded in agreement.“I guess that’s the price we pay for getting old,”Then there was a short moment of silence.
“Well, it’s not that bad,” said Garry Whale cheerfully. “Thank God we have our Voltaren 25’s."
GOOOOOOOOOOO the not so younger CITY

Inspirational words I over heard.

With training only two weeks away.  I was thinking of powerful words of wisdom, which would be inspirational, that would instil a sense of motivation and excitement for the season ahead . I remember something that I overheard from a father to his son who was having trouble hitting the ball in a school practice session.

Dad, I’m very nervous about playing my first game of cricket with this team.
Why is that,son?
But dad they might be all really good players.
Don’t worry son. If they were any good, they wouldn’t have you playing with them.

  There is a big season of cricket ahead, with opportunities for you to fulfil your dreams if you put in the effort at training and play hard.
“All your dreams can come true – if you have the courage and determination to pursue them.”
Hope to see you Sunday -10am, 19^th August at Riverside 2 practice nets. 
GOOOOOOOOOO CITY 

Big "'Dan"'

They said to me come along to City’s training, come along and see our bowling machine. 'Bowling machine?' I said,

'What, when I was playing I used to be the bowling machine.'

Who would want to be a opening batsman?

After giving it, to this new player from the other side before the match  Paul Fisher, insisted that Sean Hancock opened the innings against the other side's , new to town player with a demon reputation as the quickest thing to arrive in town for agers.

After the match, back at the bowling club he was asked.

'How did you get on against the new fast bowler in town?'

'No problems. I was having my teeth out tomorrow anyway.'

Don't forget training starts Sunday 19th August 10am at Riverside 2 practice nets, pass the word around.

Seany will be there all dressed up with his brand new helmet and new teeth.

The numbers just keep adding up!

City United web site has just passed 38 000 hits in less than three years. We have had inquires and feed back from visitors who have visited our site from all over the world. Not bad for a small sporting body based in the bush. A big thank you must go to everyone involved from the early days with the likes of Dan Mitchell, Peter Langston and Cory Callott to the current Web custodians.
Gooooooooo City

Aussies recent Oneday series against the old enemy. 4-0

Who would have thought it could come to this!!!!!

Training, no-one can do without it.

City has made some changes to the way we train, the date we train and the venue we train at.

City has also changed its training venue this season to the Riverside nets to allow for more fielding drills to be carried out. City will still have the bowling machine in use every session.

City will commence training early this year, with the first training run set down for Sunday 19th August at 10.00am at Riverside 1. City will continue to train every Sunday morning from 10am at Riverside 2 leading into the first match of the season.

Once the season commences training will convert to Wednesday afternoons starting at 5pm at Riverside 2 nets. City has its own bowling machine and other valued training equipment that will be in full use in the weeks ahead leading into the first match of the season set down for 6th October.

 See you there and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CITY
