Senior Training Moved Indoors Today 15/01/2015

Training

Senior training has been shifted indoors tonight due to the damp state of the nets. We have also taken into consideration that we did not train last Tuesday and 3 games did not take place last weekend due to the weather.

Training will take place from 5.45pm until 7.00pm at Sandown Indoor Sports Centre 2 Brough Street, Springvale North. The same place we hold our Pre-Season Sessions. We have booked 3 nets.

Selection will be held back at the rooms after training and posted on the Website/Club App later in the evening.

Go Negs!

Del Mar Selection Night

Well done to all who attended the Del Mar selection night last night. It was great to see 40+ Neggie boys and also great to see some partners in attendance as well. A good night was had by all and if you did miss out get around to their outdoor area and enjoy a great meal. Highlight of the night was the very long reading of the teams by the chairman of selectors, he certainly has learnt a few things from last years chairman.

Well done all!

Please give what you can and write a message of support to put a smile on the face of the ones who really need it in this time of need.

Vale Phillip Hughes

Over the past weekend Carnegie CC teams paid tribute to Phillip Hughes in different ways. All Carnegie players and officials have been touched by his passing and he won’t be forgotten. Below are some of the images captured at the games over the past weekend. Our thoughts are with Phil Hughes’ family and close friends during this very tough time. Our thoughts are also with the Australian Cricket Team and the players that were there on the day Phil was struck.
