Those in the “Bring your gear” row just bring your gear and will be involved in some way or another if they like.

If you can grab as many tickets and money as possible on Saturday it will make life easier on Sunday so if you can collect and send back with match fees or scorebooks that would be great.

Times

Remind all that it is a 10:30am arrival for 11:00am start. Pretty keen to get the game going earlier and also means we can rush through if rain comes early. If anyone is not playing encourage them to get down for lunch and the draw which starts at around 12:30. All cricket should be wrapped up by 3:00pm.

All players are asked to return sold tickets to training this Thursday!

Sam flanked by Coaches Jason Tran and Marcus Curnow

Sam Field tonight played one of the best junior innings in our long history. His
magnificent innings of 134 tonight broke the record for the highest under age
score of 131n.o by Chris Skorsis set nearly 40 years ago in the 1972/73 season.

Not only did Sam break this record but he and Anthony Mai smashed the
7th wicket partnership not just for this grade but for all junior grades. Their
partnership of 116 easily eclipsed the previous highest 7th wicket partnership of
79.

Sam opened the innings and along with Elijah Andrews (5) got the team off to
a great start putting on 66 for the first wicket. On 47 he hit a six to bring up his
fifty and promptly retired with the score at 83.

He returned to the crease with the team in trouble at 6/110 but with Anthony,
who also batted extremely well for his 26 not out, added their 116 partnership in
only 16.4 overs. With only 8 players Sam was the last man out, probably more
from exhaustion than good bowling.

His outstanding innings was enjoyed by many of the parents and the players
from the Under 11’s who got word of his exploits and ventured on down to
Robert Barrett to witness history in the making. His innings included 23 fours
and one 6. Both junior coaches, Marcus Curnow and his team coach Jason Tran
were delighted with his innings and clearly their coaching is starting to pay
huge dividends.

Well done Sam on a night that you clearly won’t forget and neither will all of
those that witnessed this outstanding record breaking knock.

Saturday marked the 400th game of club doyen Peter Guest. Peter has been a true stalwart of the club and on behalf of everyone that has ever played for ‘The Streeters’ we would like congratulation him on this outstanding achievement. Even though the team on the day didn’t bring home the chocolates, they were happy to see him effect a stumping at an important point of the game.

Four hundred games is truly a fantastic effort and hopefully there are still a few seasons left in the legs. Peter has been a club captain on 8 occasions, has taken the third most dismissals and is also a winner of the Law Memorial Trophy for the most outstanding performance. However, anyone that has every had the privilege to play with Peter would tell you that he is the ultimate team player and individual honours are insignificant as everything is about what he can do for the team and the club.

Every club has a ‘Peter Guest’ playing for them we are just lucky enough to have the original and for that we are extremely grateful.
Well done Peter for all of us at Barkly Street.
