New Year! New Website!

Posted: January 01, 2021

Happy New Year to all members of the Glenunga Cricket Club. What better way to kick off the new year with a new website?

The website will be a great tool to give more information to the club members and community about what is going on, announcements of events and much more. To complement the website we also have our Facebook page, as well as branching out into Twitter and Instagram.

A new website is live and ready to be accessed on www.glenungacc.com.au, with Web Hosting and Domain Management by Hawkesbury Websites, designed and updated by Alex in our Communications role.

This year we also have acquired 8 new iPads through the Mac Center on The Parade, Norwood. For scoring games with the MyCricket app and get away from the old pen and paper system, and also business-grade WiFi has been supplied by Alex from We Know I.T. at the Hub for Glenunga Cricket Club to give a faster, wider, and more reliable wireless connection to the iPads when scoring games.

If you are a user of any of these platforms, please follow us and keep an eye out on Facebook, look for photos posts on Instagram, and occasionally we might send out the odd Tweet.

We will continue to add more content and features across the platforms as time goes on, and we’re still in the process of tweaking and tidying up things. So bare with us.

Thanks,

Alex Mathewson

Babe Ruth

“The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.”

Michael Jordan

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Bruce Lee

I don’t fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Ian Botham

To me, it doesn’t matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in Cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Brett Lee

I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. That’s how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.

Muhammad Ali

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t Quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

W G Grace

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Mickey Mantle

It’s unbelievable how much you don’t know about the game you’ve been playing all your life.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

Lionel, Lord Tennyson

Cricket, however, has more in it than mere efficiency. There is something called the spirit of cricket, which cannot be defined.

Mike Hussey

Test cricket is bloody hard work, especially when you’ve got Sachin batting with what looks like a three-metre-wide bat.

John Arlott

Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished.

W G Grace

Every cricketer knows that in the early stages of a batsman’s innings i.e. before he gets his eye in — luck plays an important part.

Sachin Tendulkar

I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it’s a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.

Rahul Dravid

My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity and it was about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.
