Newtown & Chilwell Cricket Club – Celebrating 103 years

TWO BLUE TRIBUNE The official organ of the Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club since 1973.

Great start to the summer by Bryan Thomas – Coach

Three  wins  and  a  highly competitive  performance  from the 4ths mark a great start to our season.   

If you don’t know about  the 1st’s great win  yet,  check  your  pulse.  The  Addy  featured  Ben  Neville’s heroics,  and  so  they  should.  It was  a  marvellous  performance from  one  of  our  club’s  most marvellous  contributors.    This bloke is a blue blood.   

But there were other  little things worth  noting  as  well,  not  the least  Chissa’s  efforts  behind  the stumps,  then  with  the  bat,  on debut.   

Some  other  people  I’d  like  to single  out  are  the  four  new captains. What  a  great  job  they are doing. Fossie, Shiv and Twads all had winning starts to their new roles.   

I have no doubt Terry Hickey will be a winning captain very soon.   

As  coach  I  wander  around  the club  quite  a  bit,  hearing  this, seeing that.   

One thing I do see is that we have some  very  good  leaders  on  the field, and  some very  fine  leaders off the field.  

Our  President  is  a  doer,  an absolute  beauty.    He  just  never stops.  I  don’t  know  when  he sleeps.   When he does  sleep, he probably dreams about what has to be done next at the rooms, or some  other  calamity  around  the club that needs to be fixed.   

So  I  see  that we have  some very good  chiefs …  some  things  I  am hearing  though  make  me  think we  need  a  few  more  doers around the place.   

If  you  see  something  that  needs to  be  done,  don’t  go  off  into  a corner and huff and puff about  it and  try  and  big  note  yourself by telling  everyone  this  or  that hasn’t been done.   

Put your hand up and do it.   

That was probably one of the few disappointing  aspects  of  the weekend,  hearing  blokes criticising instead of doing.   

To  paraphrase  John  Kennedy, don’t criticise, just do something.   

One  positive  that  we  must acknowledge was the work of GT and  Simmo  to  get up  the wicket at Queens Park.  The weather had been  very  unkind  to  us,  with  a few  more  heavy  showers  than 

other  parts  of  Geelong  received putting  our  wicket  –  and  our curatorial  staff,  under  severe pressure.     

Thankfully,  Simmo  and  GT  are doers  and  because  they  are, we not only got a game on Saturday, but  a  great  game  that  produced six  points.  That’s  what  happens when  you  have  doers  doing, instead of critics criticising.   

Let’s see what we can all do next weekend.  

The Pom returns Jonno Carpenter is back in Australia, spending the season with Hampton in Melbourne.   He’s planning to get down to catch up with us at the first opportunity.   His mobile, if you want to make contact with him beforehand, is: 0474 134 169.   In other news about our “Poms” Sam Arthurton has got a contract with Essex.   And the original Pom, Jaikie Mickleburgh, had a very good season in County Cricket, including a century and a double century.   He also scored 93 for Essex in a trial game against England before the Poms thrashed us in The Ashes. 

NCCC playing attire ‐ REMINDER   

As is the case with the start of the year, our cricketing attire always needs to be reviewed.  

You should only be wearing:  

NCCC approved hats – being the club issued “baggy” blues or “flexi” fitting hats – available at the club to purchase for $ 20 & $ 40 respectively 

 

White shirts with NCCC emblem attached to the breast of the shirt – shirts are available for purchase at De Grandi’s Cycle & Sport in Moorabool Street, Geelong (Emblems are attached by the supplier but we need to have done in a minimum order of 6 so please get your shirt to the club early this week or as soon as possible so it can be arranged for you – See Morgo) 

 

Cricket Pants – available for purchase from De Grandi’s in Geelong 

 

Training shirts & pants – limited stocks are held by De Grandi’s in Geelong and they will also affix the sponsors & rear of shirt brandings (Shirts @ $ 40 & shorts @ $ 20)  

 

White or cricket socks (ie, Not dark or black)  

This is a simple matter but one that makes us all look & be both “professional” and consistent across the board.  

Will be following up with each captain this week on attire for ALL grades and contacting each person that needs to be assisted with the above

AFTERNOON TEAS 

One thing we take great pride in at Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club is the afternoon teas we put on for visiting teams.   

A good afternoon tea has the right balance between fruit, sandwiches and the sweet stuff. 

Let’s make sure we get that balance right every week. Buying cakes, cookies or Tim Tams at the last minute from the supermarket generally ends up with an unbalanced spread on the table.   

So where possible, go the sambos/fruit route.
