P R E S I D E N T S C O L U M N
Hi all
The season is off and running with a fair bit of rain
interruptions during the first month of the season
effecting all of our teams. All sides have
experienced wins with C grade the only team not to
experience a loss for the current season.
Last weekend’s completion of rounds saw a number
of our teams suffering another loss for the season.
Although losses are generally disappointing results, it
was encouraging to hear during the captain’s
reports back at the club rooms how well a number
of our younger members performed in their
respective sides.
The current cricket season we see us playing each
Saturday up until Saturday 22nd December. In the
New Year we will be resuming on Saturday 5th
January 2013. Please be aware that ALL of our teams
are scheduled to be playing on Saturday 26th
January 2013. Clubs/teams can attempt to organise
to play their 2 day matches on Saturday/Sunday
19th/20th Januaryonly if their opponents are
agreeable to the change. Could ALL players let us
know sooner than later as to whether they will be
available to play on Australia Day?
Please be aware that club membership fees are
PAST due. If anybody is having financial troubles
paying their membership fees please do not hesitate
to speak with either our treasurer Shane Richardson
or our registrar Mark Grimes. We want players to be
available to play matches when required and NOT
be unavailable due to being unfinancial.
15th December will also see the President notching
up another half century (this time without bat or
ball). Without wanting to encourage the
consumption of alcohol I will be putting on a few
Coopers 1962 Vintage Pilseners back at the
clubrooms following our matches on this day.
Hopefully the shout will be enjoyed by plenty of
winners.
I am aware that our Duck awards have been the
source of a few raised eyebrows within the club.
We intend to balance these awards with greater
recognition of solid individual performances within
games as well as a little more emphasis on man of
the match performances. The Duck awards were
never meant to be viewed as a “celebratory”
award but more of a “Hall of Shame” award.
Please be assured the club does not want to
promote mediocre performances on the field of
play. Nevertheless there is also room for humour
within the club as well. More than happy for us to
play hard on the field, win more games than we
lose, and have plenty of good times off the field
once the playing has finished and thirsts need to
be quenched. Let’s make sure we get back to
winning games ASAP.

A Grade
One Day – 6th (1 win, 1 loss)
Two Day – 7th (2 wins, 3 losses)
Handy start to the season for our top team.
Considering the injuries and player unavailability
they have had to contend with it bodes well for
the rest of the season.
C Grade
One Day – 5th (0 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss)
Two Day – 3rd (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss)
A couple of washout draws have hindered our
C graders. However they are 3rd on the ladder in
the two day format after 5 games – well done
boys.
D Grade
One Day – 5th(1 win, 1 loss)
Two Day – 6th (2 win, 1 draw, 2 losses)
An encouraging start to the season with this
team being built on the foundation of youth. Will
help build experience in this club moving
forward.
F Grade
One Day – 2nd (1 win, 1 draw)
Two Day – 4th (1 W2, 1 W1,1 draw, 1 L1, 1 L2)
These guys are battling hard but are still holding
onto 4th which is a credit to them. Will continue
to build on their solid start to the season.
H Grade
One Day –6th (1 win, 1 loss)
Two Day – 6th (2 wins, 3 losses)
Solid start to the season with big things
expected from these boys.

One Day League
5th – 4 wins, 2 losses and 1 bye
Our One Day boys are looking the goods this
season narrowly losing two games and destroying
the other team in their 4 wins. Brett Farrell is on fire
this season with 365 runs after 6 innings. Ash Sheikh
bowling beautifully with 11 wickets @ 5.00.

The club continues to go from strength to strength
with the days of playing short over. Two weeks
ago we had 5 new guys to training on Thursday
and they all signed up at the end of the session.
You need to ensure you are getting down to
training to ensure your selection each week. Now
that most members are financial, preference at
selection will be given to those that attend
training. Remember if you cant attend please let
Lincoln know on 0416 690 445 and he will pass
through your apologies to the Chairman of
Selectors.
Mexican night was a great success with plenty of
good food on offer along with some delicious
cocktails assembled by Gumby. Put this together
with the good company and a fantastic night
was had by all.
Grand final weekend the club ran a function for
those lost souls that didn’t have anywhere else to
go. It was well attended with some decent
amounts of grog consumed and some beautiful
roast pork and beef rolls on offer.

Hard work Day off? (which could be quite a few).
What my fellow club members say about me;
Knows what every player in the club drinks, saving
you valuable talking time whilst ordering that

A man who probably doesn’t get recognised
enough for his work around the club.
Take his cut shot away and you can safely say
your bowling economy rate will drop
dramatically.

THE REDS REVIEW
T H E P H A N T OMS C O LU MN
Hello Avid Readers,
It's my time again to have a look at some of the
more colourful characters that are playing at this
fine new club.
My subject this month is a man that I'm 100%
sure will try and kill me in the nets if he reads
this but I'm pretty sure he doesn't know how to
use a computer so it shouldn’t be a problem
It's the big man himself Greg Mucci.
Some say he started playing in the dark ages
with rocks as cricket balls and Woolly Mammoth
tusks as bats (that would explain the trying to kill
every batsmen he has every bowled at in a
game to this day) although his love affair with
murdering batsmen has only been seen around
these parts since 2004/05 season when he
decided he would play cricket with some of the
boys he had coached the year before.
Since then we have had many a laugh with him
and of course at him, some of his highlights
would be leaving the club rooms late Saturday
night to cross the oval and head home only to
somehow do a complete 180 degree turn
somewhere in Greenwood and then wake up on
someone's lawn in Landsdale without his shirt
on and only his cricket bag in hand. He is always
seen around the club with a can of export (drink
of the gods according to the man) and full of
advice such as “Warney you should be still
training” He firmly believes that abatsman is
someone who can't bowl!!!
Other club members are also known to keep
buying and opening beers for the great man so
he doesn’t go home as he strongly believes in
never wasting a beer to the point when one is
finished he has a private ceremony with it before
depositing it in the recycling bin!!!
When the Swan Brewery announced their
closure and that they were moving production of
his beloved Emu Export to South Australia
T H E P H A N T OMS C O LU MN
well you could have heard a pin drop in his
house. The sight of one man holding a
placard protesting outside Swan Brewery was
quite sad, Mucci really needed to take some
of his mates with him that day.
Greg turned 50 this year so his nimbleness
isn't as good as it once was though this
season he is committed to making that 100
he so deserves as his previous highest score
is 95 out in C grade a few years back. When
you see him or Gumby ask them the story of
how he got out as I wasn't there and I couldn't
do the story justice.
I literally could write an autobiography on
Greg just with the info I uncovered in my 4
week investigation so maybe I may run
another piece on the great man later on.
