Vale Ted McAuliffe

Members, supporters and past players of Carnegie Cricket Club are deeply saddened by the passing of former
president and premiership player, Ted McAuliffe.

Ted was a stalwart of our club, a friend and mentor to many, and greatly respected for a contribution that spanned
four decades.

He started his playing career with Carnegie in the 1960s, was a member of the 1971/72 1 st XI premiership team and
was a significant part of the club’s renaissance.

A fierce competitor on the field, Ted continued to play well into the 1980s. His service off the field was invaluable,
holding down numerous administrative roles, including ten years as president.

We offer our deepest condolences to Ted and Jan’s (dec) children, Simon, Lisa and Ben and extended families.

Victorian Government Community Shade Grant

Thanks to the hard work of Marnie Harper CCC has been successful in receiving a Victorian Government Community Shade Grant. We applied for 2 collapsible marquees with walls for use at Lord reserve for Senior and Junior Cricket matches. These will keep players out of the direct sun whilst off the field and make getting changed during matches more comfortable.

Both home and away sides playing at Lord will have access to 1 marquee each. They will be easy to put up and fold away.

They will also carry the CCC logo and branding. Also as part of the grant we will also receive a bulk quantity of sun screen and other sun smart products to keep all our players safe.

Go Neggies!
