Tonight Carnegie is playing away vs Murrumbeena in the last of our T-20 round robin matches. The match will be on from 5.15pm tonight. Training will be running as usual and if we can get through quick enough we can head on mass down to Murrumbeena’s ground to watch the end of the game.
Go Neggies!
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!
After training tonight we will be heading around the corner on Koornang Rd to Del Mar for dinner. During the meals we will annouce the senior teams for this weekend and have a usual rev ups. I’m sure the coach will have plenty to say as usual. Make sure you make a big effort to get there as they are a new sponsor and we want to pack the joint out. Feel free to bring your partners and lets have a great night. We will be sitting down to eat from the usual menu and at the normal great value Del Mar prices. When training finishes @ 7.15pm we will walk around there on mass for a 7.30pm start. Most won’t be changing clothes so just head along in your training gear.
See below the link to the Del Mar menu:
Go Neggies!
Selection this Thursday 11/12/14 will be held at Cafe Del Mar, just around the corner on Koornang Rd. We will have a meal in the court yard while the teams are read out. All players are encouraged to attend to support our sponsor. Don’t hesitate to bring your wife or partner along. The night starts at 7.30pm straight after training. No need to get dressed up just come as you are and the meals will be from the menu at the usual Del Mar prices. Their new bar will also be running, so make sure you attend and have a good meal. Any further info contact Tim Dodgson.
Go Neggies!
We have received some bad news, popular club member Brenton “Toss” Cranwell has been diagnosed with blood cancer. Brenton 28 years of age had surgery on a hernia and his bowel last week, during this procedure he was diagnosed with blood cancer. Chemotherapy will start next week. He is doing as well as can be expected in the situation.
Brenton is self employed and with his partner Simone has 2 young kids under 4 Ella & Brax. Whilst everyone including the family are extremely positive there is a tough road ahead.
As a gesture from the club, its members and supporters there will be a card placed at the Clubrooms from Thursday night till Sunday. Tim Dodgson will be collecting donations to assist Simone and the two kids to enjoy Christmas as much as they possibly can. 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.
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.

Social Event
The famous Carnegie CC trivia night is on again on the 6th of December at 7.30pm. This is our biggest night of the year and the social rooms at Koornang Park are always packed for this one. Our President and resident quiz master Patrick O’Shannessy will be at the helm again with plenty of testing questions. Organise a table with your teamates, there also will be plenty of Junior parents tables on the night.
The bar will be running and fully stocked with wine, champers and all types of beer. Finger food will be served to each table and there will be plenty of it.
The night is a really fun night with plenty of games during the evening.
Our major sponsor Stockdale & Leggo will be placing sign boards again this season at the front of members houses in the Carnegie/Glen Huntly area.
Can members consider if they are able to support the club and host a sign board (standard real estate size) and get back to Patrick O’Shannessy (phone & email address are listed on the contact us page) if you can host a board. The signs will be up until the end of the cricket season and will have some promotional material on them welcoming new members to come and play at the club. Stockdale & Leggo will erect and and remove the boards so there is nothing you need to do.
It is important that we support our major sponsor with these sign boards.
A special thanks to those who hosted a board last season (the Meyer Family 2 signs, Steve Yeats and Craig McGann 1 each) and to Craig McGann who will host one again this season.
So if you are thinking about renting, buying or selling a house contact Des or Margaret Lorkin on 9571 7777.
Tonight we will be having a sit down meal as the teams are read out in the rooms at Koornang Park. Kerryn and Dionne will be in the kitchen cooking up a storm, with both a Meat Hot Pot and a Vege Hot Pot on offer. The cost will be $8.00 per meal so bring along some cash for your meal. We will be eating at 7.30pm.
The rain has cleared for another big weekend of cricket, all the wickets should have some extra life this weekend.
Seniors
The First XI after racking up a massive 301 declared and with NCGH 7 down already will be seeking outright points at Koornang Park on Saturday.
The 2nd XI away at McKinnon are 3/55 chasing 171 with Luke Meyer and T.Rabari at the crease. Big talking Louie Turpie will be keen to post a big score and is still to come.
The 3rd XI have lost on first innings points but already have the wickets tumbling and will be keen to set up an outright win.
The dominant 4thXI after scraping in for a narrow victory last week against the Yarra’s have the Reds at Fawkner Park #2. The skipper is flying back on Saturday AM with the TM after a week on the slopes in Aspen to guide the troops, hope he is not to sore from the “snow plough”
The A Grade after copping a barrage of bodyline bowling will be looking for revenge after last week. If you get a chance have a look at the branding mark that Dan “Wally” Walton has as a reminder.
The B-Sunday are away again this time at Fawkner Park 3, with the Chap at the helm. They will be looking to bounce back after going down to Endeavour Hills last week.

The U-15B are at home at Packer Park tonight
The U-11 Gryphons are at home at Lord#3
