Clubs Day
Cricket NSW is running its annual “Clubs Day’ for the Twenty/20 ‘Big Bash’ match between NSW and the Western Warriors at Telstra Stadium on the 10th January starting at 7.00 pm.

The promotion wants Junior Teams to turn up in Club colours in a ratio of 4:1 (12 kids to 3 adults) to be in the running for prizes.

If interested then please let your Manager know so that it can be passed on to Cricket NSW – we need to respond by 14th December.

Smash for Cash
Also in this game any one aged 16 to 18 years can participate in a ‘Smash for Cash’ competition at Telstra. So any big hitting, big kids’ in this age group then please get back Ross Anderson. Only those who register are eligible to participate. Even if you are not 140 Kg this is a chance to have a hit on the turf at Telstra – just get back to me.

All games were washed out on the weekend and are played next week as 1-dayers. We have a break after the 15th December for the school holidays. Games then re-commence on the 2nd February until 1st March with Semi Finals / Finals played over 8th and 15th March 2008. This gives us 14 weeks of competition plus finals.
