Cromer Cricket Club

Cromer Cricket Club is proud to be supporting Pink Stumps Day for 2012 in aid of the McGrath Foundation.

We will be holding a Pink Stumps Day on 18 February 2012 at Beverley Job Park  which will include (subject to Association approval) 2 Kanga games, 2 Junior games and a Senior game. The Junior and Senior teams will be helping out as well with all the players wearing pink and helping to raise money on the day.

The club will be putting on a BBQ and we hope that as many of you as possible can come by and purchase a sausage sandwich or drink to help us raise as much as we can on the day.  If you could pass this on to your friends and colleagues and encourage them to support the day we would really appreciate it.

More information will be provided closer to the day but if you want to help us get started or won’t be able to make it on the day, we have a webpage where you are more than welcome to make a donation.

Please help us to support this worthy cricket charity by either donating at the website, running your own team fundraiser, buying a drink or sausage sandwich or helping out on the day.

If you need any further information please contact David Rushton on 0402 408 125 or email secretary@cromercricket.com.au.

This season’s second Cromer Cricket Chatter is here, containing team results, highlights, club events, dates for your diaries and sponsor information.

Many thanks to all those that provided input and especially to Kirstie who put the hard work into producing another great “CC Chatter”.

Keep an eye on the this web site for details on our Senior teams playing in the T20 competition in January. Also for those NRL fans don’t forget to get down to Manly Oval on 20 January to watch the T20 game between the Sharks and Sea Eagles.

The first Cromer Chatter for Season 2011/12 is now out! Many thanks to all the contributors and to our editor Kirstie O’Donnell for another great newsletter.

After much excitement and preparation, this week-end sees our youngest and budding future cricket stars in our Kanga teams having their first games for the season at Careel Bay 1 and Beverly Job 1. Have fun kids.

With as much excitement and perhaps a little less preparation our 3 Mens 20/20 teams are having their first games for the season. The games start 3pm at Passmore 1, Passmore 2 and Nolans 4, so head down to support Cromer and see how the big kids swing the bat and ball.
