Golden Grove Cricket Club

The Mad Murray's Palmworld Under 11 Gold team will play Eastern Suburbs Green in the Under 11 T20 Grand Final at Harper's Field on 13 March (5pm).  The Club will be open and a BBQ will be available.  It would be great to see as many people out there as possible to support the lads.

Our Senior Coach, Jamie Salter, would like to invite all players and officials to join him next Thursday the 5th of March 2015 (after selections) to talk cricket.  This will be an informal chat to discuss the season just gone, identify what worked well and what didn't over a whole range of topics, and to get your thoughts and ideas as we start planning for the next season.

Several people have asked me to order them one of the training shirts.  Please let me know in the next week if you would like to order one too.  I’m not sure of the price as they will become cheaper as we order more.

If you would like one, please let me know:

Congratulations to Adam Blundell and Brad Harris who were part of the victorious ATCA North team in the Under 15 SAMCA Cup played recently. The lads played in every game and were rewarded for an excellent season so far.

Special mention to Brad who finally broke through and his maiden century against Modbury on Sunday.

The Golden Grove Cricket Club Quiz Night will be held on Saturday 28 February from 7:30pm at Harper's Field.

Darryl Angel and Jason Nisbet are in charge of the night this season with the Fat Man in the Hat taking his customary spot behind the microphone. 

Get your table of 6 people together - just $5 per head. ALL WELCOME.

The Committee has made the decision to withdraw the D Grade from the competition as we do not have enough committed players. The decision has been made to ease the burden on the Selectors who try hard every week to fill the team.

Committed, financial players will be considered first when selecting the A, B and C Grades.
