Women’s Social Smash – starting soon
Great news about the highly successful Women’s Social Cricket Smash starting up again in the New Year. Details are:
- When: Wednesday 1 February 2023
- Where: Mark Taylor Oval, Waitara
- Time: 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm
- Cost: $70 for 7 weeks
What is the Social Smash
For those new to this concept it is as much about having a game of cricket with other women in a safe and non-judgemental environment as it is about laying out a blanket on the ground after the game and sharing a glass of wine and nibbles with friends and new found friends without having to rush home.

Movember
This year, WPHCCC is actively supporting the Mo-vember initiative to raise funds for Men’s Mental Health.
On Saturday 26th November we ask that players/parents make a donation to this cause and then wear a mo (to be provided) whilst playing their matches, or at least have a team photo afterwards. Parents are invited to join in the fun too.
Please send your team photos to Ross: Ross email link

Personal achievements
The PlayHQ issues are making the tracking outstanding performances that little bit more difficult but we had some good ones on the weekend:
- In one of the slowest season starts to our century makers list we had the double in D2 Grade. Well done to:
- Ray Howard with 127* (our 503rd ton) & Brahadesh ‘Ram’ Ramamurthy (D2) who scored 100* (our 504th ton)
- the boys also put on 188 for the 6th wicket. Not a record but a great performance
- Michael Richards (A1) took 6/13 from 14 overs. While not a record, it is the best bowling performance by an A1 Grade bowler since Sol Tomlinson took 7/26 Vs Kenthurst on 1 November 2014
- Steve Quanborough (D1 Red) scored 30 * in 56 overs and was well supported by Parin Pillamarri (14*) in 25 overs to steer the Team through avoiding a potential outright loss.
