2009-2010 Club News

It is with great pleasure that the committee announces Michael Burke as Captain of Long Island Cricket Club for season 2010/11.

Burkey started playing at Long Island as a junior in 94/95 and has been an integral part of our 1st XI side for close to 10 years. We look forward to his contribution to the 1st XI side as skipper and leader of the club & jukebox.

In other playing news, Paul Hartle has re-committed to the club after another outstanding year. Great work Arn.

However, we’ve received the unfortunate news that Scott Phillips has made a decision to play elsewhere next year. We wish him luck at his new club and thank him for his contribution to the success of Long Island Cricket Club over his time with LICC. The door is always open.

We’ll keep you updated on recruiting throughout the off-season.

POWERBALL SYNDICATE
For a ten-week period a famous five Powerball ticket will be purchased.

Every ticket will be allocated with a specific ball number. Where if that number comes out, the person owning that ticket will get a $20 return.

A Famous five ticket will be purchased with the money. Which we need to choose, along with this ticket we have every Powerball. At the end of the 10 weeks there will be a meeting to decide on what to do with the proceeds that have been made. (if proceeds are made)

The cost of a ticket is $20
This being a fundraiser for the club and a great chance for you to win money at the same time.
The most popular numbers will then be collated and thus become our ticket.

Calling all hands on deck
We officially have the handover of the rooms early next week, after training on Thursday whilst we have a couple of cleansing ales, we are looking for many hands to make light work of getting the clubrooms all set up for the upcoming season – the quicker we take our gear out of the indoor net area, the quicker we can use the indoor net for training. Please stick around after training to help out. It is much appreciated.
