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 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 and Ben for
helping out with the quiz night planning and Saturday night food.

Big thanks to Andy Evans for his on and off field work as President, dealing with the GSCA,
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 Vic, 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 others who helped with BBQ’s and feeding players on Saturday nights.

Andy, Danny, Luke Giddings deserve special mention for their efforts this year with the U16’s and
U12s. Thanks also to the other parents who helped out with the juniors particularly Danny Finn,
Brett Bayly, Bronte Carter and Eggy, Dylan Gilbert. 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 the Colts players and young guns in their first season who sometimes
played both morning and afternoon. 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!
