T20 Super Win

IMG_6389
Dan Schimek & Tom Carden scurry between wickets for CPCC

Nolans, 20 Jan 2012: CPCC’s T20 ‘A Team’ captained by Tom Carden defeated Wakehurst A in a Super Over thriller at Nolans 1. The Towers restricted Wakehurst to 113 thanks to strong bowling performances from Mick Trevaskis and Pete Henriksen. Whilst CPCC scored at the required rate, wickets fell regularly setting up a thrilling last over where Nirav Patel and Brenden Ball tied the scores. Wakehurst managed just 8 off their one over and Hamish Evans, hot after his contribution of 29, started things brightly for the Plateau with a 6 off the first ball. Nick Buxton knocked in the winning runs with a 4 off the 4th ball of the over. CPCC will meet Long Reef or Cromer in the final.

Meanwhile over on Nolans 2, the CPCC ‘B Team’ otherwise known as The Ogres, finished their inaugural T20 season on a high despite losing their plate match against Wakehurst B. The team is mostly comprised of junior player’s Dads returning to cricket after long lay offs backed up by 2nd grade’s Dom Wheeler. Captain Kim Blacker put it down as a learning experience however the boys can’t wait till next year to have another crack. More Dads are apparently coming out of the woodwork and putting their hands up to get back onto the cricket field. The Ogres are a great addition to CPCC as they represent a group who have not remained involved with playing cricket as the demands of family and modern life have not allowed time. The team also caters for those who may have only minimal cricket experience but no shortage of enthusiasm. The T20 comp is an ideal way for these guys to again experience the thrill of playing competition cricket without the long hours Saturday Afternoon cricket requires.


New Year, New Pitch, New Club Facility

IMG_5906
Whilst the Christmas/New Year period is downtime for players, council contractors have been busy working on several projects at Vic Huxley Oval. A new pitch has been laid thanks to the MWCA Player Levy contributions. The pitch is as big as the runway at Mascot and the opportunity has been taken to centre the wicket making the ground more suitable to all ages and grades including junior reps. Thanks to Rob Easterbrook and his crew for their efficient work, and Dave Sheedy, Brenden Ball and the rest of the MWCA Committee for rolling out these great improvements to local cricket. We ask that all in our community are vigilant in protecting our hard earned facilities by detering those engaged in any activity that may damage the new pitch surface.

The long awaited renovation of the old Tennis Shed has commenced with the cyclone fencing being removed, new playground fencing installed and a new window added facing the cricket ground. The project, undertaken with the assistance of grants from Warringah Council and the State Government should be completed to lock up stage by February/March 2012. The removal of the old cyclone fencing alone has already made a huge improvement, opening up this previously vandalised and derelict area to the rest of the ground and making it immediately usable as shelter for sports ground users.

Vicki Carden Awarded Volunteer Of The Year

CPCC’s Junior Secretary and Life Member Vicki Carden was presented with a signed bat from Cricket NSW at the Big Bash match between the Sixers and the Thunder recently at Homebush Stadium. Vicki was awarded VOTY for the Northern Region thus qualifying her for consideration as NSW Volunteer Of The Year for her numerous years as Club junior secretary and Association Assistant Secretary. Vicki was edged out as the overall winner and a trip to the Alan Border Medal Function in Melbourne by a volunteer from Gilgandra Cricket Association who had a mere sixty more years of service to the game.

CHRISTMAS DINNER 2011
Dec 17, 2011: Cricket activity for 2011 closed out at the Top BBQ Restaurant Dee Why on Saturday night with the CPCC’s Annual Christmas Dinner. The regular band of cricket dinner attendees plus a few rookies embraced the ‘Dead Celebrities’ fancy dress theme and enthusiastically ate the food. Rob Steel tasted success (in the form of a $2.99 bottle of Bowlers Run red) for a second time with his splendid impersonation of Freddie Mercury. Freddie’s win was far less controversial than his victory as Shane Warne several years ago. In the womens category, Amy Winehouse, portrayed by First Lady Jocelyn Huxley, stole the show as well as half the bottles of alcohol left on the table!. After Amy carried off both the Fancy Dress and Raffle prizes, she herself had to be carried off once the restaurant closed around midnight. Thanks to Luke and Camo for their very entertaining Trivia Show and Paul and his staff at the Top BBQ for their hospitality and great food.
