Anthony Fitzgerald was 4 th Grade's man of match. Anthony’s 138 runs
(retired) was the clubs first century for the season, it was
instrumental in batting West's out of the match. A great achievement
Anthony.

On Saturday I was given out L.B.W. which reminded me of a dismissal of
Johnny Miskle a few years ago.
Johnny received a fast ball which struck him in front. Though it was obviously L.B.W. he tried to feign an injury by dancing around in agony. He fell to the ground clutching his foot and the umpire came up and looked down at him.
'Can you walk?' he asked, solicitously.
Still lying on the ground holding his foot Johnny look up to the umpire, hesitated and then replied 'Yes.'
'Then walk back to the pavilion, mate. You're out!'
GOOOOOOOOO love your work Johnny CITY

Our 1st grade scorer and manager Phillip Hood placed a challenge at the start of the season to the 1st Grade team which was “Whenever the team scored over 200 runs in an innings he would shout them a carton of refreshments” Well bugger me, first match into the new season and his 1st Grade side scored 211 off their 35 overs and Phil will be required to pay up.
GOOOOOOO I fell like one now CITY
