Also, sincere thanks to Holly Graham from Cricket NSW who ran our sessions for us. I can report that the girls were most upset when I had to run one myself and they all agreed it was much better with Holly!!
We ended our girls season with our own Presentation night at Edward Bennett Oval rather than being part
of the huge Saturday presentation for the Junior boys which was a lovely evening and we had a wonderful turnout of around 60 girls and their families and my thanks to Barry, Andrew and Julian for coming to present prizes from the Club Executive. Congratulations to each of the girls who got an award and for those that did not then take pleasure in knowing that you have tried a new sport in many cases, improved greatly and had fun which in turn has put smiles on many parent’s faces. We have all loved the enthusiasm and the willingness of the girls to learn new skills.
As the girls section has grown to around 70 so has my dependence on others to help out in planning for the future. My thanks as always to Mal, Michelle, Sachin, Jo and Jae who form our girls committee.
Thank you as well to each and every parent who has got our girls to training and matches, helped with umpiring, scoring, ground set up or simply supported our daughters when they play. Without parental support we could not run cricket the way that we do for the girls.
My final thanks of course are for my wife, Vanessa, who has been so supportive of my many hours working on girl’s cricket. Without her 100% support I could not devote the time that I do.
We now have a small break before we get to do it all again next season. Enjoy your winter sports and keep spreading the word among all your friends so that we can get bigger as a section within the Club in the years to come.
