2/2/12  President's Update

Greetings, well it finally feels like we are back into cricket with all men’s, women’s and junior teams getting a game on the weekend, albeit in very uncomfortable conditions. 

 Cricket

The A Grade found out the importance of taking or not taking catches with Woodville compiling an imposing 400+ on the first day.  A gallant batting display, unfortunately punctuated with a regular loss of wickets hindered the run chase with us eventually falling about a 100 short.  Hosko with his first A Grade half century and Tevez at the top also compiling a 50 were the top scorers.  Starts by all the other batters against a quality bowling attack showed glimpses of promise for the future.  The B Grade collapsed on the first day and struggled for the rest of the game to stay in the match.  A well compiled 80 by Jack Holliday the best of the 2nd innings batting, however another late collapse saw them lose outright on the brink of stumps.  The C Grade lost outright in an entertaining game at St Clair, Crazy with 5 for and Corey Polyak a well made 80 the highlights.  The D Grade brought home the bacon and almost won outright, denied by a 10 over last wicket partnership.  Jordan Charles with a 50 and Brandon James 5 poles the standouts.

 The juniors were finally back playing on the weekend with only the U16 Red team disappointing in their run chase.  The U14 White team securing a tie and the other two teams taking the points comfortably in their games.

 As we heard on Saturday night from James Chapman, the women's coach, they are producing the goods in all forms of the game, with excellent chances of taking out the honours in both the T/20 and 50 over competitions.  Well done ladies, good to see you at the club on Saturday night.

 The footballers travelled to Dublin (SA not Ireland) and lost their first game of the year by 1 wicket.  You can imagine it would have been 5 degrees hotter out that way, Pitty was so effected he had to take two days off work to recover, lucky his boss is understanding and realised age has now caught up with the great man.  For those that haven't caught up with the news, Steven and Nicole move to the Riverland on 8/3/12 so he won't be sprinting around Perti in the winter season.

 Higher Honours

Congratulations must go to Trav Head - firstly winning player of the carnival in the recently completed U19 National Carnival and now rewarded with a Shield game for the Redbacks, starting on Thursday at Adelaide Oval against the Vics.  He has also been picked in the Aussie U18 team for trials at the Centre of Excellence. 

Jake Haberfield is also in the 12 for the games against the Vics - well done (again) Jake.  Good luck to both of the boys.

 Coming Events

25th February - Quiz Night at the club.  This is a presentation night after the Northern Districts game.  Meals will be available from 6 at the club, Match presentations at the normal time, then from around 8.30 we test the great minds of the club with questions.  Host for the night will be Tom Rehn so get ready to be entertained.  It is essential that we get a good spread and attendance across the board, so cancel all your plans, get a table of 8 to 10 people and come and have a great night.  Entry is $5 per person - guaranteed to be a good night.

 This weekend

Sat 4th Feb - 10 year Premiership Reunion for our first 1 day premiership from 1.30 at the club.

Sat 4th Feb - Bucky's (the cricketer / frustrated footballer) 30th - 7.30pm onwards

Sun 5th Feb - A Grade 1 day 1/4 final v Glenelg from 11 am - drop up and support the boys in their quest for another flag.

 Also this Sunday is Junior Football Registration day from 9am to 1 pm.  This will mean some traffic chaos, but we will put some barriers up for cricket exclusive parking.  Also a reminder, whilst A or B Grade cricket is being played at Perti - Pints of Beer will cost you $4.00 - an incentive to pop up and watch some quality cricket whilst enjoying a cold ale, bring some friends up, they too will enjoy the luxury of the cheapest beer in town.

 Keep well, stay positive, it is always better to have a half full glass than a half empty one.

23/1/12 President's Update

Cricket Updates
The U12 carnival was completed before Xmas with the players achieving some admirable results.  The new BankSA U16 carnival was completed last week, with the team going through the minor round undefeated, but unfortunately losing the semi final by 1 wicket in a very close result.  A great performance by a team working together as one.  Congratulations to Sean Nottle for his "Team of the Year" selection and leading wicket taker for the carnival.  Well done to all those boys, you have represented the club well and every reason to be proud of your achievements.  The U14 carnival is currently under way - so good luck boys.
 
The current round of senior games produced some interesting results.  The A Grade chased leather all over Woodville Oval, hopefully this week we can reciprocate, The B Grade produced a poor batting display and have already conceded 1st innings points, the C and D Grade are both locked in interesting battles for 1st innings points.  The footballers once again cruised to a crushing victory with contributions across the board
 
Chandra Visit

About 50-60 people welcomed B.S. Chandrasekhar to the club on Saturday night.  Rob Zadow gave an interesting oration and then Tommy Rehn followed up with a fascinating interview of the great man. 
Chandra lived up to his well earnt nickname of "one for the road", when he departed the club at around 10, having shared stories and swapped yarns with some of the oldies and a couple of the newies.  My thanks to all those people, members, guests, players who supported the event, it was certainly great to see some old faces around the club.

 
 
What makes a club
Tough question I know, it is not merely having a group of players and having a facility for them to enjoy.  There are many moving parts to a club, be it a cricket club or any type of club.  The structures and processes of most clubs are the same, they exist in an environment where there is a need for what the club supplies.  But how does a club thrive, most people go to on field results and examine them and make the assessment good club / bad club.  This is very simplistic, judging purely on "on field" results.  Ideally a club is a place where the playing group enjoy being, they enjoy the company of their fellow players (mates).  The club should provide a safe and secure environment free from harasment or discrimination, where anyone is welcome.  The club is also made up of many moving and functional parts.  It is a place where non Board members feel comfortable coming up and saying "need a hand", such as Rod and Helen did on Saturday night, which was much appreciated and welcome.  You could think of many more things that make for a good club, but I am comfortable saying "I am very happy with the way the players (senior & junior) and the supporters and club officials are currently supporting the club".  My thanks to all for this.  Can we do better - always.
 
Event Calendar
28th January - first week back & presentation night for all.  Meals from 6pm by the Blue Gums Hotel.  My dream of 120 meals becomes a reality - help it happen please. 
4th February - 2001/02 1 Day Premiership Reunion between 1 and 7 pm in club.
               - 7.30 onwards - Bucky's 30th in club
5th February - A Grade 1 Day Comp - quarter final on Pertaringa Oval, starts at 11 am.
12th February - TTGDCC Golf Day at Gawler, names on noticeboard for those playing.
 
Congratulations
Trav Head - U19 National Carnival - "Player of the Carnival" and team of the carnival representative.
Sean Nottle - U16 BankSA team of the year.
 
Term of the week
"haud problems tantum solutio" for those that fancy themselves with a bit of Latin.
 
Good luck and happy cricketing. 
 
John Davey

16/1/12 President's Update

Cricket
Well, what a great week it's been in cricket.  The A Grade T/20 team ventured onto the hallowed turf of Adelaide Oval and produced a clinical display across the board to hand out a thumping to Kensington.  My thanks for all the players, supporters and others than attended, we were certainly had the greatest support, continuing on our T/20 revival.  My congratulations to the players, they certainly celebrated in style in the Pura Milk Corporate Box and back at the club on Saturday night.  Well deserved and good reward.
 
Footballers continue on their merry way with another comprehensive win, the highlights being Dave Paul's 5/10 and Sleepys 150 odd.  The A's and D's produced good team performances to battle to wins on the weekend, the B Grade getting smashed and the C Grade getting thrown out by Paul Finnie, with some good batting by Tom Rehn and Cain Ryan, both of who continue to chalk up runs - need a ton boys please.
 
Congrats to Trav Head who has peeled off 100's against NSW and Vic in the U19 carnival being played in Adelaide.  His other innings was a failure - 49.  We also have Caleb Graeber playing in the carnival and he has acquitted himself well so far.
 
Another A Grade debutant on the weekend - Jack Holliday - well done Jack.
 
Events
This week, 21st January 2012 (see also below), a cricketing legend returns to the club, having played for TTG in the 90/91 season at age 45 with limited success.  The taker of 242 Test Wickets and scoring considerably less runs, B.S. CHANDRASEKHAR will be at the club from 6.30 to 8.30 for fellowship.  Rob Zadow will deliver an oration at 7 pm and from 7.30 the great man will be interviewed by Fox Sports (and TTG's) very own Tom Rehn.  Chandra has been committed to eradicating India of Polio, and has worked closely as a ambassador for world health organisations, promoting the cause throughout the world.  The 13th January 2012 marked 1 year since the last case of Polio being reported in India - a magnificent achievement.
 
A BBQ will be available from 6 pm.  This is an open invitation to all.
 
Afternoon Teas
I am hearing that some people don't think they have to pay the $5 for afternoon tea, that rates with the best in the competition, we think it is the best.  I will be speaking to the coach and cricket director this week, anyone that has outstanding money for afternoon teas, will be unavailable for selection.  This will be a direction from the Board.  This is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
 
I also had a query about why the A Grade seem to get more than everyone else.  Well the simple answer is that we have 2 or 3 parents / grandmothers, that take the time and effort to make scone, cakes, sausage rolls to supplement the A Grade afternoon team at their own cost.  So Todd Neve, put your apron on Friday night and you too can have what the A Grade get.  Either that or speak to the coach and get those players dropped to your team so you too can get the extras.  My thanks to those Heather, Emily and Hazel for the afternoon teas and also the ladies that bring the extras.

14/1/12  Chandra's Visit

Indian cricket legend B.S. CHANDRASEKHAR

Saturday 21st January 2012 - 6.30 to 8.30 pm

Tea Tree Gully District Cricket Club

Steventon Drive, Banksia Park

AN OPEN INVITATION TO ALL

The Tea Tree Gully District Cricket Club is delighted to announce the return to the club of Indian Cricket Legend and former Indian Test cricketer B.S. CHANDRASEKHAR.

 Chandra played 1 season of Grade Cricket for TTG in the 1990/91 under the captaincy of Rob Zadow.

 Despite a distinguished Test career, Chandra sees his greatest achievement as having played a major role in India’s 12 month milestone celebrations of not having 1 single case of Polio reported.  Chandra is a polio survivor and despite a withered right arm, he managed to take 252 Test wickets (and not quite as many runs).

  His career highlights included

·        6/38 against England at the Oval in 1971

·        12/104 match figures which was instrumental in India’s first test victory in Australia in Melbourne in 1978.

·        1972 Wisden Cricketer of the Year

·        Wisden’s “best bowling performance of the century award” in 2002

 Agenda

6.00 pm – BBQ / Bar facilities available at the club

6.30 pm – Chandra arrives / fellowship with guests.

7.00 pm -  Official welcome and oration by Rob Zadow on Chandra’s time spent at the club.

7.15 pm  -  Fellowship with guests

7.30 pm  -  Fox Sports Tom Rehn’s interview with Chandra

8.00 pm  -  More fellowship with guests, then eventually “one for the road”.

21/12/11 President' Christmas Report

Christmas Greetings

In the last report of the year, let me once again wish everyone a safe, happy and enjoyable Christmas and New Year.  The club officially closed at about 12.30 am on Sunday morning when the last of the partygoers departed by bus for the Adelaide area for further fellowship to take place.  I felt sorry for the bus driver, the boys were certainly in good spirits having enjoyed the Christmas breakup at the club.  The competition between Peter Martin and Tim Cronin was officially declared a draw. 

Cricket

Top billing must go to the footballers, sitting undefeated well in front of the pack and not looking like dropping a game at this time.  John Lucas’s 6 for 8 certainly a highlight of the recently completed round.  The A Grade had a disappointing journey to Price Memorial and sampled a taste of what they must do to get amongst the competition benchmarks.  Rain again destroyed the B and D Grade games, both not getting a start.  I have lost count of the amount of times the D Grade have not played this year, 5 or 6 Saturdays from memory.  The C Grade set themselves up nicely to win another game, needing just 30 off 12 overs with plenty of wickets in the shed and Tommy Rehn batting like Sachin a win seemed a formality, only for the rain to intervene. 

Perti Centre Square

The bare wicket that has hosted numerous games of cricket this year is no longer.  Now fully grassed with our preferred choice “South African Couch”, we continue to look forward to the day when there is no more plugging, turfing or other initiatives to get our square fully grassed.  Thanks to Bill and Colin for their dedication and commitment to this task we are viewing next year as the breakthrough year for a fully grassed Perti.  To that end we must thank the players, they have been fully informed of how, when, where and why and have accepted the process adopted this year and thankfully the wickets produced, whilst batter friendly (well mostly), have produced consistent pace and bounce. 

Club Person of the Week - everyone

The club will re open for business in the first week in January 2012.  I would like to thank you all for your commitment to the club.  Each week our 60+ volunteers give up significant time to make our club a success.  It is impossible to get around and thank everyone, but your work is not taken for granted, it is appreciated and essential for our club to continue to move forward.  So please accept my thanks for your work and I look forward to it continuing in the new year. 

With the juniors now enjoying a significant break (ridiculous in my opinion), we wish the BankSA U16 team all the best for their competition early in the new year, the U14 team later in January and the seniors resume battle in the first weekend in January.  If you are not sure of your training commitments, contact Ben, Simon or your captain to make sure. 

A reminder that the A Grade will play their T/20 final against Kensington on 10th January 2012 with a 2.30 start.  I want to see a huge contingent of TTG supporters at Adelaide Oval cheering the boys on.  It is not often enough that we see the Bulls colours on the hallowed turf of Adelaide Oval.  I am currently (or Bruce is anyway) negotiating for a significant amount of tickets to enable those supporters that don’t have Grade cricket entry passes to attend and support the boys.

13/12/11 President's Christmas Message

Best Wishes
As the festive season fast approaches, yes that's right it has been 12 months, I would like to take the opportunity to wish all players, members, supporters, volunteers and everyone else a Safe and Happy Christmas and a similar New Year.  It is a time of celebration and remembrance bringing mixed emotions to different people.  Take the time to remember those loved ones that are no longer with us and celebrate as they would want you to.  It is indeed a special time of the year to spend with family and close friends.
 
SATURDAY 17th December - post match - Christmas celebrations at the club - drink specials after Presentations - music, fellowship - meals as normal + Christmas menu.
 
My Thanks
On behalf of the Board, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate and thank everyone who contributes their time to make this club a better place.  There are too many people to mention in a forum such as this, but I certainly hope that you have been thanked and that your involvement with our club is a positive one.  Following on from my offer for people to contact me re suggestions, etc, I have received several phone calls about various things.  Whilst the calls have not resulted in change, the people who took the time are now aware of some of the issues we face when trying to improve things.  So my thanks to those people for taking the time and caring.
 
Cricket News
Despite more Friday rain, no play lost at Perti and only minimal time at Bulkana.  Once again our Curators putting in overtime to get us playing - thanks again.  Unlike our B's and D's who again had to sit out a Saturday and play a 1 dayer on the Sunday.  Go to "Story of the Week" for the Campbelltown saga.
The Flagship (A Grade) had a nerve tingling game, just finishing on the right side with a 3 run win.  Defending 99 on a quickly improving pitch an outstanding effort, with Jace O'Hara, Tim Evans and Mat Weaver sharing the poles, unfortunately Jace hurting his back when taking the crucial last wicket.  The catching and fielding was the best I have seen this year, certainly a benchmark now we know the level that can be achieved.  In the quest for outright points Deisel (Davey) made another ton with good support from Toot (Stolcman), Tevez (T. Evans) and Weavs.  We then saw Brad Evans rip the heart out of the East Torrens batting, taking 6 poles, unfortunately at the close, 2 wickets short of what would have been a well deserved outright.
The B Grade marched on, now sitting 5 and 1, excellent performances from the bowlers who shared the poles and Sommers best of the batters with a undefeated half century.  The C Grade smashed ET on Bulkana.  The Cheese (Coach), Steve Canala and Crazy (Primer) the big performers on the day.  The D Grade battled gamely, however easily went down.
 
Wednesday 14/12 - 5.20 pm start - A Grade T/20 v SACA U19's - be there, bring your friends, BBQ, drink specials, music, DJ Tom Rehn, Music Man Cain Ryan, guaranteed entertainment.
 
This week the seniors and juniors take on competition benchmark "Sturt".  A big test, but one I am sure all players are up to.  Good luck to all, play hard, play fair, then back to the club for Christmas cheer.
 
Club Persons of the Week - Heather Coull
Sorry can't go past "Heather Coull".  A tireless and fastidious worker in the kitchen and bar area of the club, plus social and fundraising director, with assistance from Emily and Hazel (+ others), ensures we present the best rolls, best afternoon tea and best bar service at the club.  Without saying how good we do it, when you compare what we present for the players with what some of the other clubs do, like comparing chalk and cheese.  My heartfelt thanks - the club is a much better place with your work and presence.
 
Story of the Week - a Disney fairytale
The D Grade got called off on Friday and ET placed Campbelltown as doubtful.  Well on Sat morning the B Grade rocked up to Campbelltown ready for another Hosking led sensational performance.  A pitch inspection revealed a wet patch down 1 end of the wicket.  Covers leaking perhaps.  No apparently someone had got a bag of ice, removed the covers, put the bag of ice on the wicket and then put the covers back on.  Then the ET groundsman decided to blame a former TTG curator, who incidently is in Vietnam.  He was promptly told to pull his head in.  Now I don't know about you, but how could they possibly expect anyone to believe this story.  Firstly Campbelltown is encircled by a 5 foot fence, do you carry around a bag of ice in your back pocket, pick the covers up and then replace them - yeah right.  Conveniently no damage caused, just a big wet spot.  Fortunately the B Grade won on the Sunday.
 
Reminders
Having a drink over the break, save your bottles and cans, bring them up to the club when we resume and put them in the blue bins out the front of the club.  All proceeds go to TTG cricket.
 
Like a drop of Shiraz, the club is selling a very nice Shiraz, which has passed the John Herrmann and Mark Nottle taste test for $90 a dozen, $7.50 a bottle to take away or $12 a bottle to drink with your lovely Blue Gums Steak or Turkey on Saturday night.  Ask at the bar.  We have sold about 3 dozen cases so far, I still have 10 boxes left and their might be more after Christmas, but no guarentees.  So order now.  You can drop me an email if you like, but on holidays after today.  If interested - email will be johndave@optusnet.com.au until 9/1/12.
 
The club will be closed after the weekend for a couple of weeks.  Training schedules should have been advised to all players by the coaches.  Enjoy the break, best wishes to Mat & Sarah on their wedding on 30/12.  Trav Head turns 18 over the break - best wishes and anyone else celebrating a milestone while we are in a break - best wishes.

6/12/11  President's Update

Cricket News
Some good news from the cricket pitches over the weekend, with both A and B Grade & Footballers putting in absolute dominating performances and registering good wins.  Special mentions this week to Tim Evans with a outstanding ton and young gun Travie Head with another half century.  In the B's, old man Primer with 3 for and Christian Marsh on comeback trail with a sound knock.  For the footballers, Bucky, Chris Linhart and Blacky all performed well.  The C and D Grade battled manfully with some promising performances, Cain Ryan and Joel Chapman the standouts for each team.
 
Midweek the A Grade defeated Northern Districts in T/20 action on another sub standard pitch that seems to be norm when we play limited overs games out that way.  An outstanding knock of 71* by young Trav got us over the line when chasing 106 with a couple of balls to spare.  This leaves the A Grade undefeated in T/20 action, but behind Adelaide on run rate.  The T/20 game on Wednesday 14th December 2011 - 5.20 pm start will determine whether we visit Adelaide Oval for the final on 10/1/12.  We will be at full strength for this, so all club players, both seniors and juniors are expected to attend and support - plus bring friends along, BBQ open, drinks specials.
 
Sad News
We announce the passing last week of Paul Harrison - father in law "to be" of Club Captain Mat Weaver, to Sarah, Mat and extended family, you have our prayers and thoughts in this difficult times, Paul's funeral is at Tumby Bay on Wednesday.  Paul had been ill for some time.  Our best wishes to all.  Mat & Sarah will be wed on Friday 30/12/11.
 
Meals - not quite
Whilst sitting and having a chat on Saturday night, it didn't seem as busy as most Presentation Nights at the club.  How wrong I was proved to be - we set a new world record of 113 meals for the night.  We are creeping up on the 120 benchmark I have set.  I think the night of 17/12/11 will see us hit that mark and smash it to pieces. 
On the meal subject, this Sunday night the Blue Gums will be doing meals, I understand the juniors (or some of them) are at Southern Districts, but presentations will be held, so get back to the club for an hour or so.  Save those cooks out there having to whip something up on Sunday night and remember how bad "The Golden Arches" is for you.
 
Told off
You would have heard praise for old man "Colin Paech" during the presentations on Saturday night.  I have had to tell Sean Nottle off, young Colin is now walking around telling everyone that he is TTG's answer to Les Burdett and is thinking of writing a book on pitch preparation and is waiting for the call from India to be flown over there as a pitch consultant.  So please, thank Colin personally if you must, but no more public acknowledgement please.
 
My thanks - club person of the week
This week "the club person of the week" goes to A Grade Manager Trev Evans.  As well as being the best Team Manager in the Grade competition, Trev has since this cricket season started, helped the club out at several events, often working till late in the night behind the bar.  So Trev I know I have thanked you personally, but you are due for public acknowledgement - great stuff.
 
Upcoming Events - pre Christmas
Sunday 11th December - Post match presentations at the club, meals, awards, fellowship, etc.
 
Wednesday 14th December - A Grade T/20 v SACA U19's - 5.20 pm start - BBQ, drink specials, music, all players (senior, junior, womens) expected to attend, make a night of it, I want T/20 excitement back at Perti, not the rubbish the other clubs are serving up.  T/20 is about excitement, we need to be the benchmark for that we need you to support it.  There will be no cricket practice for TTG teams on that night.  I want at least a thousand people there, gets your friends / mates there.
 
Saturday 17th December - Christmas break up, meals, presentation night for senior and juniors, music, fellowship, drink specials.  You will make the night, all players are expected to be there, this is what being a club is all about.
 
"there'll be no play" - Senior term, ask someone.

30/11/1  President's Update

Deepest Sympathy
Our thoughts and prayers to Peter, Stephanie and Tyler Martin on the passing of dear wife and mother Kerry.  Kerry's funeral is at Harrisons @ Ridgehaven at 2.30pm on Thursday 1/12/11.  Kerry fought a long and brave battle, our heartfelt sympathies to the family.  We all know that behind any great man is an even greater women.  Kerry was that woman, supporting and encouraging Peter through his long association with the footy club, of which he is a Life Member and of recent times the cricket club.
 
The Club
With the rain causing almost no cricket last weekend, there is precious little to talk about.  The footballers continued on their winning ways, almost turning a certain win into a inglorious defeat, then eventually winning by 1 wicket, well done again.
 
Presentation night this week will again see Meals by the Blue Gums, total last time 107.  We have meals the next three weekends on Sat 3/12, Sunday 11/12 & Sat 17/12, all being presentation nights at the club.  I urge you all to support the Blue Gums meals, they are excellent value as are the bar prices when compared with other venues.  Let's get to 120 please.
 
Also this Saturday night, our Club Captain Mat Weaver will be having his "farewell to single life" show at the club from around 8.30.  I will ask that all those not involved vacate the club by 9 so that the boys can be left with it.  Security will be yours truly and big Trev.
 
Upcoming Events - Reminders
3/12/11 - Match presentations at the club.
Wednesday 14/12/11 @ 5.20pm - A Grade T/20 v SACA U19's at Pertaringa.  All invited, bring your friends, family and associates.
Saturday 17/12/11 - Mid season break up - Christmas Show at the club.  Drink specials.
 
Bottle & Can drive, bring them to the club, put them in the blue bins out the front.
 
Wine sale - Fundraiser - Jazz 2005 "The Shiraz", taste at the club, contact me for purchases - $90 per dozen, excellent drop and value.

22/11/11  President's Update

Cricket
What a disappointing weekend it was, both Flagship teams (Mens & Womens A Grade) putting in disappointing performances on the centre wicket at Perti on Sat & Sunday respectively and losing their games.  On a positive note the Mens B and C Grade teams had convincing wins with Scott Todd (B) - 6 wickets and Nathan Johnston (C) leading the wicket taking for those teams.  The D Grade chased a serious amount of leather, keep your chin up boys.  The juniors brought home 1 out of 4, but again, there is always some shining lights.
 
On a positive note, the Mens A Grade travelled to Berri on the weekend for the annual country game against Glenelg, this year being a T/20 game.  Despite 10ml of rain on Saturday, they were presented with great conditions, certainly nothing that indicated the carnage that followed.  TTG won the toss and elected to field and Jake Haberfield (4 wickets), Jace O'Hara (3) & Brad Evans (2) proceeded to take a wicket in every one of the first 7 overs of the game.  Glenelg eventually sucumbed for 67 in 14 overs.  This total was achieved very easily in 13 overs with the loss of 3 wickets, giving the boys a well deserved percentage boost after the light issues at Prospect.  A big congratulations to TC (Tim Cronin) and Moss (Adam Mossop) for making the trip and doing nothing but provide support and field a ball or two, their voice and support was outstanding.  Once again Berri was the perfect host and we look forward to continuing to support cricket in the Riverland and Murray Districts.
 
Well done to Jake for his 10 poles in the Futures League game last week - surely Shield and Ryobi selection follow.
Young Trav Head - who incidentally has changed his Facebook Status to "batting allrounder", with 97 batting at 3 in the Future League game in Tassie, follow his progress on Mycricket - Live Scores.
 
To our very young senior squad, each week there are things happening on the field that provides positives for the future.  Take the positives, build the camaraderie, Rome was not built in a day.
 
Story of the Week
Goes to our cricketing footballers.  Playing One Tree Hill on Banksia Primary, game being umpired by team mates of the batting side.  One of their players was given out caught behind by the umpire and proceeded to carry on and asked the umpire what he was given out for, the answer "I don't know" was probably not what he was looking for, so in stepped Big Pete and gave the bloke another chance to show his wares.  Unfortunately his pads stopped the ball hitting the wickets next ball and the LBW shout was upheld.  This opposition player is obviously very popular with his team mates and departed with his tail between his legs.  Somehow this translates into our footballers being cheats, not sure how that works, apparently not allowed to appeal.  We might have to get former Test Umpire Peter Cronin back into his umpiring togs and bring some "espirit de corps" back into the umpiring fraternity. 
 
Whats happening at the club
Put these events in your diary for support of the club up until Christmas.
-  Sue Holliday's 50th birthday at the club Friday night, birthday actually on Thursday (I think), so "Happy Birthday Sue" from all.
-  Saturday 26/11/11 - Heather Coull's birthday - all welcome "Pizzas & Platters" (I am reliably informed), email, text, ring Heather and confirm your attendance, otherwise just turn up and say Happy Birthday and buy her a bubbly.
-  Saturday 3rd December - end of match presentations at the club.
-  Saturday 3rd December from 8.30 pm onwards - Mat Weaver's (A Grade skipper) Buck show.
-  Sunday 11th December - end of match presentations at the club (Sat / Sun game for all).
-  Wednesday 14th December - 5.20pm start - T/20 A Grade v SACA U19's - all expected - Cronins won't be there - excuse provided, poor but accepted.
-  Saturday 17th December - "Christmas at the Club" - Christmas cheer, special Christmas menu, music (not too loud too early).

In my time being involved in Sport, I have learnt the absolute worst thing a parent can do is try and tell anyone that hasn't escaped your clutches, how you think the world would be a much better place if all those volunteers and persons charged with the responsibility of looking after or running the team followed your thoughts on the world.  You will have to trust me when I tell you that we have the best people in place to look after your teams taking into account availability and cost.  Support and encourage - basic principles of being a sporting parent.
 
Everyone makes mistakes, identify it, correct it, have a laugh if appropriate, (put on facebook if you have video) move on - simple philosophy.
 
John Davey

15/11/11  President's Update

Welcome again for your weekly (hopefully) update on things happening in your club. 
 
Firstly, if you rely on other people forwarding this email onto you and you want a direct line from my sub editor - send your email address to - cricket@chariot.net.au - and request you be added to the contact list and you will receive the first edition, hot off the presses.  I have had some very positive feedback about the weekly update, but as the season progresses, I will rely on the masses out there to feed me some (truthful) stories of interest to distribute to all.
 
Congratulations
Trav Head (A Grade) for winning the Gillespie Rising Star award for his match winning innings against Prospect two weeks ago.
Centurions from the weekend - Deisel Davey (A), Nugget Hunter (B), Sounda Sleep (Footballers), Jack Holliday (U18's) and several near misses - Trav Head, Tim Evans, Corey Polyak and Tom Rehn.  A batting bonanza, hopefully to be followed by a bowlers bonanza this week.
Jake Haberfield back into the SACA 1 day side.
Mat Weaver being called up for the Futures League team - good luck Weavs. 
 
Remember presentations this Saturday night at the club, 120 meals is our aim, pencil the club in as the place to be from 6.30 to 8.30 this Saturday night.  Presentations start from around 7.15 for the juniors, dependent on Steve's patience and when everyone is back.  I really don't mind if you don't eat, drink or breathe, I want all players back at the club to support the club and there should be no reason why you cannot invite a friend or two to also have a meal and a quiet drink.  You create the atmosphere.
 
Upcoming Events
Saturday 26th November 2011 - Plates and Platters night at the club, help celebrate Heather Coull's 21st birthday (again - no I don't know how many times).  RSVP back to Heather for catering purposes - informal night, all welcome.
 
Wednesday 14th December 2011 - T/20 action on Pertaringa Oval.  TTG Bulls v SACA U19's - 5.20 pm start.  I not only want every player, supporter, official and their families present at this game.  I also want everyone to publicise this event so that we can get T/20 excitement back on Pertaringa Oval, big crowd, big excitement, special guest announcer, music, etc. etc. etc.  Free entry and entertainment guaranteed.  This is our only home T/20 game for the year, so no excuses not to be there.
 
Saturday 17th December 2011 - Christmas at the Club, put it in your diary now, no excuses excepted, meal, presentations, then music (dancing perhaps), lots of socialising.  A good night guarenteed.
 
Coaching
Tim (Deisel) Davey is offering his coaching services to aspiring juniors.  Tim is an accredited coach, has outstanding technical knowledge, is a student teacher and is a current A Grade player for TTG and a member of the Emerging Redbacks Squad as a wicketkeeper / batsman.  He finishes this year's study at the end of this week and will be available, outside of cricket commitments almost full time to offer coaching services, both individually and in group sessions.  Tim has previously worked both for SACA and TTG with coaching and comes highly recommended from Bruce and the junior coaching group.  Ring Tim on 0421 621 629 - leave a message and he will get back to you.  Part proceeds will be going to the club.  Coaching services available to anyone.
 
Did you Know
That whilst there is A or B Grade cricket being played on Pertaringa Oval - Schooners $3, Pints $4 of beer / cider.  Concludes at the finish of the days play.
The Footballers are currently undefeated, and there is a 3 way competition between Pitt, Black & Sleep for most runs, all scoring heavily at this time. 
Trav Head recently returned from India with the Aussie U19 team and his father could not pick him out in a bunch of photos in the Australian 1 day uniform.
Nuggett Hunter only received the call up to B Grade late Friday, went in at 4/40 and nicked and nudged his way to 160 not out off 140 balls.  First B Grade ton, well done Nug.
First time in my memory that A and B Grade have both scored over 300 in the same day.
Sunday - we welcome the women onto both Perti and Bulkana, got an hour or two, come and have a look.
 
PS - bottle drive, bring your empties to the club, put them in the blue bins out the front.
 
John Davey

8/11/11 President's Update

An excellent result on Saturday night with the Blue Gums supplying 108 meals to our people, not quite to my target of 120, but getting there.  Thanks to all those that are supporting the meals, I know my "Salt & Pepper Squid" was excellent, and Sleepy reckons my salt and pepper squid was ok as well.
 
Congratulations to the 4 senior men's teams who had convincing wins on the weekend and celebrated in style back at the club.  Your support of the club is appreciated and necessary for us to continue move forward.  The junior teams continue to work hard and the development is not always obvious on the scoreboard.
 
The unusual story of the week appears to be the "streakers" at the U16 Red game.  Apparently the game was interrupted by 3 males who decided that the "full monty" and a "irish jig" on the centre wicket at Cain Reserve was called for due to the extreme heat.  After the impromptu performance, they were last seen disappearing into the suburbs of Prospect, free to perform on another occasion.
 
This week sees the return of the A Grade to Pertaringa, coming off a commanding performance against Prospect, albeit with areas they can improve on, with a two day game on Saturday / Saturday and the replay of the abandoned 1 day game on the Sunday.  It promises to be an exciting weekend of cricket on our main oval which is slowly seeing the benefit of the work the council have completed on it, come early December it should be amongst the best in the competition.  Sunday the BBQ will be on, with Steaks, Sausages, etc.
 
Did you know that whilst the A or B Grade are playing on Perti, the cost of Schooners of Beer is $3 and Pints $4.  This will be in vogue all season and just an incentive for past players, supporters or whoever to come and watch a bit of cricket, hopefully the players can entertain.
 
Reminder
Having a show, think about using our club, give me a call.
Bottle drive - collect your empties, bring them to the club and put them in the blue bins out the front, it all goes to cricket & helps support your club, get your neighbours involved as well, the more the merrier.

Commenting on the squad, National Talent Manager Greg Chappell said: “The YSP has made a number of changes to the squad that played matches against the West Indies in Dubai in April as some who were not there are now available for selection. Unfortunately, Cricket Australia contracted player Patrick Cummins is not one of those players, due to his ongoing recovery from a back injury. The new players coming in provide the YSP and coach David Fitzgerald a great opportunity to give international experience to a wide range of talented youngsters with the ultimate focus being the ICC Youth World Cup in Australia in 2012.

“Cameron Bancroft and James Peirson starred in the matches in April and since then both have been away with the AIS team to Chennai, India. Our view is their games have continued to improve and these matches  give them an opportunity to show off their skills. Fast bowler Dom McGlinchey from Geelong, is a new member of the under 19 squad and impressed us on recent state visits to Victoria, which were attended by Australian bowling coach Craig McDermott. Dom also attended the Kerry Packer scholarship camp at the COE earlier this year,” Mr Chappell added. 

The role of captain will be shared throughout the tour. 

The tour of India will commence on 22 September, however exact match dates and venues are yet to be confirmed at this stage. 

10/8/11  The TTGDCC merges with the Jets

21/4/2010            TTGDCC JOINS GOOD SPORTS PROGRAM

Sports clubs such as ours play a significant role in the community and therefore have a responsibility to our members and their families. In recognition of this, the Tea Tree Gully District Cricket Club has elected to participate in the Australian Drug Foundation’s Good Sports program.

 The program is run in South Australia by Drug & Alcohol Services SA with the support of the Motor Accident Commission and the Department of Health and Ageing. The program has been designed to assist clubs with the responsible management of alcohol and is the only nationwide program of its kind.

 As a community based club we believe involvement in this program is a way for our club to promote a healthy and welcoming club culture whilst working to consistently meet our duty of care obligations in regards to alcohol consumption.

 To become Good Sports Level 1 accredited we will address a number of criteria including having Responsible Serving of Alcohol trained bar staff and our facilities will be smoke free.

 For more information about the Good Sports program contact Tea Tree Gully District Cricket Club, Club Administrator Bruce Jamieson on: 0418 899 108.

2/10/09 - Overseas Players

This year we will be welcoming Liam Kinch, Josh Cobb from Leicester county Cricket Club and Joe Gatting from Sussex County Cricket Club .

Josh returning to TTG after Christmas and Joe will be coming out after his time with Sussex at the T20 Champions Trophy in India

Joe Stephen Gatting - Sussex

Born November 25, 1987, Brighton, Sussex
Current age 21 years 302 days
Major teams Sussex, Sussex 2nd XI
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling style Right-arm offbreak
Relation Father - SP Gatting, Uncle - MW Gatting

Like his father, Steve, Joe Gatting was on the books at Brighton & Hove Albion for three seasons, but when offered a chance to join Sussex's cricket academy turned his back on football. He made an immediate impression as a top-order batsman when he scored a good hundred against Surrey in the pre-season Pro Arch Trophy in Abu Dhabi, and followed with a big hundred on his first-class debut against Cambridge UCCE.

Josh Cobb - Leicestershire

Born - Leicester, August 17, 1990
Joined - Leicestershire 2007
Role - Right Hand Batsman, Leg Break Bowler
Family Links - Dad Russell played for County (1980-89)
Teams Represented - Leicestershire
Honours - England under-19s tour to South Africa
Highlight of Career - 148* at Lord's and becoming Leicestershire's youngest-ever centurion
Players Admired - Shane Warne, Darren Stevens, Paul Nixon
Relaxations - Reading, socialising with friends, listening to music

 

 Cobb became the County’s youngest centurion in 2008, making a majestic unbeaten 148 against Middlesex at Lord’s.
The teenager shared a 270-run stand with HD Ackerman at the home of cricket - the highest for any wicket against Middlesex in history - which showed instant progression from promising knocks against both Warwickshire and Gloucestershire.
Cobb continued that good form by topping the club’s Championship averages, adding a further two half-centuries along the way in a most promising season after finishing his studies.
Son of former Leicestershire batsman Russell, Cobb is a top-order batsman who can also bowl useful leg breaks, proven by the fact he took four wickets in just 19 Championship overs last season.
Made his first-class debut for Leicestershire towards the end of the 2007 season shortly after his 17th birthday.
Cobb also appeared at Lord’s for club side Kibworth in the Cockspur Cup final of 2007 and is a former student of Oakham School, like former County all-rounder Stuart Broad and current batsman Matthew Boyce.
Cobb made his second-XI debut in 2006, and also represented the club’s academy against Victoria Emerging Players in 2007, scoring an unbeaten 102. After a successful 2008 campaign with County, Cobb gained his first international recognition by being selected to tour South Africa with England under 19s, where he came second in the one-day averages at an excellent 42.00.
Signed a new three-year deal with County to see him through to the end of the 2011 season.

About Febluary
Expect to see a lot more blue on the oval this season as cricketers pitch in to help spread the mental health message far and wide.
The Febluary campaign aims to raise awareness of depression, anxiety and related mental health disorders for beyondblue: the national depression initiative.
It is an initiative of the Southern District Cricket Club and is supported by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA).
An official launch of Febluary will be held at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday February 1 with club representatives.
Thirteen of SACA’s Grade Cricket Clubs are taking part in Febluary by wearing blue at matches on February 7 and February 14. Around 1400 Grade cricketers and umpires will celebrate SACA’s Febluary Round.

What is beyondblue: the national depression initiative?
beyondblue is a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation working to address issues associated with depression, anxiety and related substance-use disorders in Australia.
beyondblue is a bipartisan initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments with the key goals of raising community awareness about depression and anxiety and reducing stigma associated with the illness.
beyondblue works in partnership with health services, schools, workplaces, universities, media and community organisations, as well as people living with depression, to bring together their expertise.

Health messages
 One in five people will experience depression at some time in their lives.
 Depression is more than just a low mood – it can be a serious illness that requires attention; seeking help early is a good first step.
 With the right treatment, most people recover from depression.
 Men are often reluctant to seek help for themselves, but they go to great lengths to help a mate.
 Be aware of how your mates are travelling. If you notice any changes in the behaviour of a mate, be there to offer support. If your mate doesn't seem to be coping, help them to get an appointment to see a GP or other health professional.
 For more information about depression, anxiety and related drug and alcohol problems visit www.beyondblue.org.au or call the beyondblue info line on
1300 22 4636 (local call from a landline).

 

 Peter Sleep appointed as TTGDCC Coach

“Peter Sleep was born in Mt Gambier and moved to Adelaide to play under age and club cricket for Kensington who identified his talent and competitive nature through country carnivals.  He played grade cricket for Kensington from age 17 and quickly was identified through SACA talent squads as having the technique / ability / mental toughness to play State cricket.  He made his senior state debut whilst still playing at Kensington.  He played a major role in their premiership in the early 80’s, making an outstanding 100 in a semi final on Adelaide No. 2, chasing a large Salisbury total, against a quality attack. 

The following year saw him playing for the Salisbury club, adding further depth to a side that had players such as Bishop, Bradbrook, Causby, Jolly, Prior, Zadow and later Lehmann, Fielke, Opperman, Heindrik, no wonder they dominated grade cricket for 16-17 years, winning 9 grade premierships.

His contribution to cricket in South Australia was outstanding as a player and competitor. Playing for Kensington, Adelaide and Salisbury in Grade cricket he made 6220 runs at 40.92 and took 409 wickets at an average of 21.23.    His First Class statistics (1976 -1994) make outstanding reading, playing 175 games, taking 363 wickets with his leg spin and making 8201 runs.  He made his test debut in1979 and played 14games, taking 31 wickets and making 483 runs at an average of 24.14 .  His approach to cricket was exactly the same, whether playing a grade game at Salisbury Oval or a test match on the MCG.  He was an intense competitor, who took great pride in his performances.  

He was probably the best all round grade cricketer I have had the pleasure to see, impacting on a game with his batting, bowling or outstanding fielding.

He has coached at Salisbury and with Lancashire in the English country scene as well as specialist coaching with many of the English under age teams.  He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and a competitive desire to be successful to TTG. “
