Three City mates go for a walk in the bush.

Before the serious stuff starts tomorrow l have to tell you a story of our Richie, Scotty and Sugar..

Three City players, became lost and stranded out in the bush, they then found a magical lantern containing a genie, who grants them each one wish. Richie was the first to make his wish, "I wish I was off the island and back home, in my nice warm bed." Suddenly he vanished. Scotty was quick to make the same wish, suddenly he vanished.
That left Sugar, who looked around and after 5 minutes said "I’m lonely. I wish my friends were back here."
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we love ya Sugar CITY

A wrap-up of the regular season.

          Now with the regular part of the season completed, how did City players perform? City players, as reported throughout the season have represented this city of Tamworth and their zone in both junior and senior teams.  Congratulations, to all our City United players that have played at that next higher level of cricket this season.  

Through the regular part of the season there were five City batsmen who have scored over 300 runs with  three century's being scored.  There has been eight City bowlers who have taken 5 wickets or more in a innes and there has been one Hat-Trick taken.

            

City United finished in third place in the Club Championship in front of West Tamworth, Old boys and Bective.

City United will have three Grades playing this weekend in the finals. Just short of our "Goal" set at the start of the season which was to have all four grade there, never the less it is still a very strong performance from everyone involved in this great club.
              The business end of the season is upon us now. These are the matches you want to play in. The matches are longer, now 90 overs per innings and played over the same weekend.  Our 2nd Grade play West Tamworth at Riverside 3, 3rd Grade play Old Boys at TREC and 4th Grade play Old Boys at Riverside 7. Training and selections on Wednesday Night as usual.
GOOOOOOOOOOO play hard, play in the spirit of the game, play smart, play to your best CITY

They will be dancing in the streets as City wins TWO Minor Premierships.

         All matches tomorrows have been cancelled due to the wet weather. As a result City United Third Grade and Fourth Grade teams are both 2012/13 Minor Premiers. I personally place more value on the Minor Premiership as is a reflexion of a team performance over the whole season. Congratulations on Peter Mead and his players, Timothy Skewes and Paul Lawrence as co-captains and their players, the selectors and all members of this great club CITY UNITED.
         Both 3rd Grade and 4th Grade teams will be playing in the Major Semi-finals and don't forget our Second Grade side, they play in the Minor Semi-final next week as well. 
          Now Don't forget. There will a celebration BBQ Saturday back at the bowling club at a earlier time of 4 pm, to mark the end of the regular season.
GOOOOOOOOOOOO"you bloody beauty" CITY

When Old Blokes Play for City.

When Old Blokes Play for City.
Once we’d pound in from the fence
to bowl in Lillee-style,
or bat for hours, resolved, intense,
all dancing feet and guile,
we now curl offies down the track
and keep our innings brief,
 to ease that tender, aching back,
and give our legs relief.

 

These days our knobbly knees are shot,
our eyesight’s none too good;
we find that we can’t do a lot
of things that we once could.
The girls who came to watch us play
 are now our wives, who sigh
and, knowing of the price we’ll pay,
keep liniment close by.

 

Yet still we keep on turning out,
for cricket is much more
than just a game, it’s not about
that final winning score.
It’s bonds we’ve forged along the way,
It’s the friendships, not the fame,
 the mates we’ve gained as the seasons fade away…

when old blokes play for City.

GOOOOOOOO it is more than a game CITY
 

It's Duckie weather again.

 My daughter recently got engaged, so excited about hearing the news my mother-in law rang me to find out more about him.
"What wonderful news, tell me all about him, is your daughter's fiancee a good catch?"
"Good catch?" I answered with much pride . "I say he is, he's the best fielder we've got in the side!"
GOOOOOOOOOOOO it's all about having soft hands CITY
