Players and Supporters,

Welcome to 2008! I hope Santa was good to you.

Believe it or not, we are already more than half way through the 2007/08 Season. Of course, given the amount of washed out matches we’ve had it’s easy to think "but we’ve hardly played". Ironically last weekend was perfect for wielding the willow.

How are our teams going?

1st grade – currently 5th

3rd grade – 3rd (fell from a clear 2nd to 3rd without playing any cricket!)

Brewers – 1st (great work girls – take it all the way)

Our Juniors have been playing well and enjoying themselves immensely. Below are a few words from Mike Spencer:

Gordon Juniors has 17 players and offers a team in both the B Grade and C Grade competitions.  Four of the 17 players always play in the C Grade competition with the extra players required being made up from the ‘lower’ half of the B Grade team on a rotational basis.  The four players (Lindsay, Rose, Annabel & Emma) range in age from 9 to 13 and all enjoy their cricket and are having a lot of fun.  They are benefiting from the experience of training and playing with some B Graders

Half way through the season is a good time to thank all of those who have contributed to you getting on the field. A huge thank you for your efforts so far is extended to:

Creon Cambitzi -Champion of the Juniors who has made sure everything has been in place to get our Juniors on the field

Keith Maclaine -Long time supporter of our Juniors

Mike Spencer - New to the Club this season and managing our Junior C Grade team

Tony and Frances Dorn - Scorers and long time supporters of Juniors

Greg Smith - Juniors Umpire and Assistant Coach

David Hicks - C Grade scorer

Anthony Smit - C Grade assistant

Gretta Nathan, Brett Smyth Oliver, Rob van den Honet – Junior "helpers"

Nick Mowat - B grade photographer!

Charlotte Anneveld - 1st Grade Captain and Club Coach

Bernard Perry - 1st Grade Manager, Grounds Convenor and General Committee

David Lawson - Brewer Coach

Glenn Shaw - Brewer assistance

Lauren Hamman - Social and General Committee

Kate Griffith - 3rd Grade Vice-Captain, General Committee

Annelie Chapple - Equipment and General Committee

Alan Patrick - Sponsorship

Jessica Davidson - Treasurer, Sponsorship

Bronwyn Calver - Deputy President, 1st Grade Vice-Captain, Webmaster extraordinaire

Nicky Paterson - Exceptionally efficient Secretary, 3rd Grade Captain

My most humble apologies if I have forgotten anyone. As you can see lots needs to happen behind the scenes to get your teams on the field every week. Without all of our supporters and volunteers the task would be impossible. Next time you see any of these people, how about you say a quick "thanks for your help"?

Performance highlights so far:

Bronwyn Calver hit her maiden Gordon hundred against St George-Sutherland and is the very clear leader competition aggregate leader with 421 runs

Lauren Hamman – leading wicket taker in 1st Grade with 16

Jess Henry – leading run scorer in 3rd grade competition with 202 runs and closely shadowed in 3rd place by Annelie Chapple (split by a youngster from St George-Sutherland who has been chasing us all season!)

Kate Griffith – Leading wicketkeeper in 3rd Grade with 5 dismissals

Sarah Thompson claimed a magnificent hat-trick in the first round of Super 8’s

Heidie Cheadle – Leading run scorer in Brewer Shield with 149. Heidie has just moved to the USA with her family where we are sure she will introduce the Yanks to cricket!

Training

Training commences again as follows:

1st, 3rd’s and Brewer - Wednesday 16 January from 5.30pm at Chatswood Oval

Juniors - Wednesday 30 January at Chatswood Oval

Well done so far and good luck for the rest of the season.

Happy New Year!

Jess Henry
