Golden Grove Cricket Club

All members of the Golden Grove Cricket Club (or their parent/guardian) are invited to attend the Golden Grove Sporting Club AGM to be held on Thursday 12 February 2015, 8pm at Harper’s Field.

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.

Thanks to Sean Sommer & Just Bobcats for preparing the area, Garden Grove for donating the rubble for the base, Brad Liske for levelling the base and ANL Containers for the excellent price, the Club now has a home for our pitch preparation equipment at Wynn Vale Oval.  The Club thanks Kings Baptist College for the use of their secured area to store our equipment for the past few seasons.

Please see below from the Adelaide Turf Cricket Association.  The Club Committee has discussed this and has unanimously voted to support the ATCA's stance.

The ATCA is extremely encouraged by the support and positive feedback it has received with its new policy of no alcohol in the opposition change rooms or as a collective group within the confines of that ground that does not involve the opponents. The Board extends its thanks and appreciation to all of the clubs in the association for embracing this direction in bringing back the social aspect of the game of cricket.

Going forward the ATCA has decided to transition this document (appeal) into an official  ATCA policy as follows:

Hi all,

As many of you are aware, I (along with several others) spend a lot of time running the Club.  It is full-time job on top of the one I already have.

The Golden Grove Football Club invites all Brumbies players and supporters to buy a personalised paver to help fund the building of a new verandah looking out on the top oval at Harper's Field.  While it is true that we don't have a pitch in the top oval, part of the renovations include updating the kitchen in the clubrooms.  This wil also benefit the Brumbies.
