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.

CCC Jnr Newsletter February 2018

Neggie of the Month

The Neggie of the month is an important monthly award within the club. Each month we present an award for efforts above and beyond the call of duty. We are a big club and to keep everything running smooth we need everybody to pitch in an assist.

The winner for December 2017 was Hilton Duncan, Hilly can be seen working hard early in the morning on match days getting Lord ready for play and getting sponsor signs and barriers out at KP. Hilly is also always cleaning, this is a never ending task in a big facility like ours. If you see him around see if he needs any assistance.

The winner for January 2018 was Tarun Grandhi, Tarun runs the nets for senior cricket both Tuesday and Thursday, this is not an easy job with 50+ at training. Everybody wants a bat as we all know! He also calculates all our stats, awards and assists with subs collection (very important roll). Not to mention he can be seen assisting behind the bar/kiosk.
