Winter Updates!

Posted: June 21, 2022

Hello Glenunga Cricketers,

We’re barely into winter and we’re sending out a newsletter because registrations open very soon for the 2022/23 season!
The committee has been hard at work planning for next season with plenty to come.

Registrations
Junior and Senior registrations are slated to open on July 1^st, and as usual, they fill up pretty quick! But we’ll send out an email once they open for all previous Junior and Senior players to sign up again before they become public. So keep your eyes ready in the coming weeks.

Merchandise and playing gear
Along with the registrations opening up, our merchandise portal through Nelson Teamwear will be open again to purchase gear, training shirts, playing shirts, caps and even some new stuff that’s being added this year!

Expressions of Interest – Junior Cricket
Are you able to help out our Junior teams this season? We’re always looking for help! We’ve already put the feelers out to last year’s Coaches and Volunteers to go again, but we’ll be looking for more Team Managers, Match Day Scorers and people who can help out on the day.

Annual General Meeting
The AGM will again take place just before the season kicks off on Tuesday, 13^th September from 7pm, at the Webb Room in Glenunga Hub.
What happens at the AGM? We get the season underway by appointing the Office Bearers and Management Committee, and then we get into more planning for the season ahead. If anyone would like to be involved in some form please contact the club at social@glenungacc.com.au – We’ve plenty of tasks people can help out with, especially if you think you’re a social media gun we want to hear from you!

GCC Academy
This season will mark the introduction of a GCC Academy, with a focus on developing skills from our U14’s and up, once a month, to work with our Coach Sam Turner during the summer season. More information will be coming out in the months leading up to the season.

Senior Cricket
With demand coming from the Juniors through the ranks of the club we are fielding Two 2-Day teams, and Two 1-Day Senior teams this season. It’ll great to see some young keen cricketers into our senior games and develop their skills. Keep an eye out for more information on this soon.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months as we head into an exciting season of summer cricket!

Regards,
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.
