UNDER 16 GIRLS

The club’s girls team had a busy December, playing 3 games, while a planned 4th game was called off due to heat and will hopefully still be played in early 2020. The game against the Colac CC at Pomborneit on December 1st was particulary historic, being the first meeting between the two clubs since our 1st XI’s last met in the old Corangamite CA in the 1932/33 season (Pomborneit did play Colac on several occasions in the early 1900s)!

Irrewarra Red 3/143 (Charlotte Richardson 1/14, Charlotte Parsons 1/17)

 

The Pomborneit & Colac Girls teams after the first meeting between the two clubs in 86 years!

 

UNDER 13s

Just the one game for the Under 13s in December, with more games scheduled for February & March. All the best to Finn Tolland, Gavin Reynolds and Ben Whytcross who will be representing the South West CA at Under 13 Country Week at Portland in January.

 

POMBORNEIT CC CHRISTMAS PARTY

 

A huge crowd in attendance for our annual Christmas party. Many thanks to everyone who donated prizes, sold Xmas hamper tickets and came along for what was a fun night.

 

Santa even made his way to the Pomborneit CC Xmas party!

MILESTONE

Club skipper Grant Place played his 200th senior game for the club in Round 11. Club secretary Luke Reynolds paid tribute to Grant at the Christmas party:

 

 

FACILITY UPGRADE

The club is excited to announce that our next project is an extension of our existing clubrooms at the Pomborneit Recreation Reserve. All of our fundraising efforts from the past 12 months and into the immediate future will be directed towards extensions to the clubrooms, which will see two new changerooms, showers, toilets and a storage room added to the existing building to handle our growing roster of senior, junior, girls and womens teams. Contact Dave or Luke if you wish to contribute to the project, but the best way to help out is by supporting us in the Toyota raffle, purchasing a ticket to our “Bullnanza” function or by just being around the club on a regular basis following our teams!

 

TOYOTA GOOD FOR CRICKET RAFFLE

A fantastic fundraiser to get behind as 100% of the ticket money comes back to the club, plus you have a chance to win a car! 1st prize is a Toyota RAV4, 2nd prize a Toyota Camry and 3rd prize is a Toyota Corolla, plus several other great prizes to be won. All money raised will go towards the clubroom extensions. This year tickets are all online, get on board at https://toyotagoodforcricket.raffletix.com.au/pomborneitcc

 

LAFFS JANUARY PROMOTION

In January 2020, they will be supporting the four local cricket clubs (Pomborneit, Bookaar, Boorcan and Camperdown) with this promotion!

POMBORNEIT CC 12th MAN CLUB

Our coterie group, the “12th Man Club”, has now been going for 12 months! 39 memberships in the first year, an outstanding result.

  1. Great coverage as always, Luke. What a classic result in Division 3, Round 10! How old is Joe Gleeson? I’m sure that’s a partnership that will be the talk of the club for many years to come. #gopombobulls!

  2. Luke Reynolds says

    Cheers Ian, Joe is 13 and in his first season at the club as an Under 16 player, the Division 3 boys arrived back at the club very pumped after that win!

  3. Colin Hayman says

    Thanks for the update on all the happenings at Pombo.
    All the best for 2020 as the club looks to extend the facilities.

  4. Mark 'Swish' Schwerdt says

    #GoBulls

    Good luck stockpiling on corsets at Laffs.

  5. ELIZABETH fryers says

  6. Hey surely that,Luke Reynolds bloke was Father Xmas to he doesn’t do anything else around the club
    Seriously Luke brilliant as always and as some 1 who has sold the odd raffle tick what deluded fool came up with the idea of doing a raffle only re on line sales wow just wow

  7. An enjoyable read as always, Crackers.
    I just love what clubs bring to the local community, and yours is doing a fine job.

    Time to convert those 20’s and 30’s into bigger scores, old mate.
