All the Under 13’s & Woolworths Cricket Blast participants played with much enthusiasm throughout December before the holiday break.

A couple of weeks later the club ran three bus loads of Woolworths Blast, Under 13 & Under 16 players plus parents to the Melbourne Renegades v Brisbane Heat game also at GMHBA Stadium in Geelong. Many thanks to Dave Murphy for organising and to our bus drivers, David Bateman, Peter Bignell & Trevor Sadler.

  1. Excellent as always,Luke good to see Boof continue to be involved.Well down on winning the 20 20 title.
    A tad disappointing to go down to Stoneyford in what looks like a low scoring game ?
    How did Stoneyford finish up ? Huge respect re how much work goes in to a newsletter like this !

  2. ELIZABETH fryers says

    Gee Luke no end to your talent

  3. Comprehensive, Crackers

  4. Luke Reynolds says

    Rulebook, Stoneyford lost their next game (the semi-final) to the team that went on to win the competition.
