Photo of the Month

The new Bistro WPH at the Sports Club is sponsoring us this season for our popular ‘Photo of the Month’ Competition.

Bistro WPH have kindly offered us Dinner vouchers to the value of $50 each Month for the best photo to use in the bistro – here . Every photo goes on the website and a selection of these go into our Annual Yearbook.

To enter it is simple:

• Just take a photo of anything to do with our Club – Kanga, Girls, Boys and Seniors
• The photo can be of our players batting, bowling or fielding
• Also, we are keen to get any ‘quirky’ photos that are a bit of fun.

Our Photo Gallery is a bit like a family photo album so the more variety the better.

Next steps

Just take a photo and send it to Ross Anderson (here ) with some brief commentary and it is that easy.

Seniors

A message from our Seniors Director

After our massive weekend with 60 players unavailable due to sickness, Community Festivals, long weekends and Football GF’s Steve Quanborough wanted his thoughts added to the website:

“A quick note to say how pleasing it has been to see such performances and spirit in Round 1 after the move to have 6 teams in the top 4 grades in the HK&HDCA this season. Some have moved up 1, 2  and even 3 grades from where they expected to play and as a seniors playing group you are to be applauded.

 Best of luck in R2.”

Match Reports from the weekend Rounds are updated and can be seen on the Match Reports section of the website.
