THANK YOUS

The Goolwa Cricket Club would like to sincerely thank all the players, members, supporters, families,
parents etc for their contributions of time, effort, & financial support this season. In particular thanks to
the wives, girlfriends, and families who have tolerated another season of groans, moans, late night homes,
wasted weekends, and the perennial "Just going down to the Cricket Club - I won't be long ".

Special thanks to Les Carter and Leonie who attended to a lot of details around the Club this year, cleaning,
cooking, selling, and helping behind bar. Also thanks to Critter who also helped out. And also Danny who
never failed to help out when needed. Thanks to Sonya Bald, Baldy for the Saturday night food.

Big thanks to Andy Evans for his on and off field work as President, dealing with the GSCA, clearing pitch,
fixing run ups, organising food on Thursday nights, cleaning up kit room and many other tasks that arose.

Also thanks to the guys who turned up at the initial working bee and clearing of the pitch and laying the
new turf. Thanks to the Senior captains Josh, Harry, Doc Gane who had to work hard to get the teams on
the park each week, and do scorebooks, myCricket and other time consuming and often annoying jobs!

Immense thanks to Tim Stewart and TJS Events who took on the sponsorship / social events / raffle role
with great success to see our finances in a much better state. Thanks to our sponsors who supported our
Club.

Thanks to all who helped with Bunnings BBQ’s.

Luke Giddings deserve special mention for his efforts this year with the U12s. Thanks also to the other
parents who helped out with the juniors particularly Shane Bayley and his family and the Rodda family too.

Also to those players who helped umpire, score, pack up at practice, paid their subs and bar tabs etc.

Finally thanks to those players who committed themselves for this season, and stuck with it even in the
games where you got slogged, or got a duck or you didn't get to bat or bowl where you wanted etc, etc.

Thanks to those supporters and players who supported the bar and kept our finances ticking over.

Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped out at the club and donated their time to help the
players do their best on the field. There would be no Club without you and the Committee sincerely
thanks you.

Thank you to the Goolwa Cricket Club for providing an environment where young and old can develop their
cricket and other life skills, and where we can all enjoy the friendships, respect, and support of our team
mates and club members, past and present. Never underestimate what you learn from this game, from
wins and losses, winning Grand Finals and losing Grand Finals, ducks and hundreds, 6 fors and none for
hundreds, and what you can give back to the community through our Club.

It’s very easy to get disappointed by the losses and the failures that occur and feel you are always hard
done by or unlucky. Keep learning about the game, keep trying to improve, and the more you practice and
prepare the luckier you will get. When you are sure you prepared well and gave everything you could then
you and the club cannot ask for anything more and you should be satisfied that you genuinely did your
best.

KEEP PRACTISING, PLANNING, PREPARING, PERSISTING, PLAYING IN THE V AND NEVER GIVE UP!
