Welcome to the 2009 Season

As discussed at last month’s AGM, the Council will be sending out a monthly Communique to all members going forward. As there is a lot to get you all up to speed on this first edition will be slightly longer than normal. We hope you find these monthly communications useful and please feel free to let us know where we can develop further to keep everyone up to date. The new 2009 Season is well under way and the Council’s plan to schedule double headers between all club’s Div 1 & Div 2 teams has been well received and good for inter-club rivalry. (more…)

Diplomatic Appreciation

Dear Bashers

I have taken the liberty to add myself to your blog as there seems to be no “pest-control” on registration requirements.

As an the Council member organising the Centaurs tour for the weekend, I just personally want to thank all of you who participated in both games … out of 22 players 11 were Bashers which is great show by you lot.

I will be sending out my monthly Communique this week with a review of the Centaurs tour but would also like to congratulate Sameer on a brilliant bowling display claiming 4 Centaurs scalps and also a fantastic “get out of jail” act with 26 no* and taking the Dragons over the victory line with the a great last wicket stand. Special mention has to go to Ollie and Hadleigh for putting on 90-odd in 11 overs for the first wicket and also Hadleigh for getting a 50 on debut for the SCC Dragons.

So once again thanks Bashers for your great support of another SCC initiative.

Over and out!!
