Past Players Day

PAST PLAYERS DAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, 7:30pm, $35 includes dinner and first drink free (beer/wine/soft drink).
FEATURING SAM PERRY of THE GRADE CRICKETER

Join us for a celebration of the history of the Carnegie Cricket Club. Join with past and current players of the Carnegie Cricket Club to relive some of our great moments, and hear from Sam Perry – star of the Grade Cricketer TV show, podcast and book series.

“Sam Perry is a broadcaster, speaker, writer, and recovering leg-spinner.

Tiring of life as a corporate automaton, and after too many years playing cricket in suburban outposts across Australia, Sam founded The Grade Cricketer. Along with two friends, Dave Edwards and Ian Higgins, this anonymous everyman provides satirical reflections on Australian grassroots cricket, manifesting in two books, a podcast, live shows and most recently a TV production on Channel Seven.

Writing this anonymous character has permitted him to regularly accept guest spots on TV with both the BBC and ABC, as well as host events at presentation nights, award ceremonies, golf days, schools, breakfasts, lunches and dinners, as well as that heady institution: after-dinner speaking. Beyond Grade Cricketer life, Sam is also a freelance sports writer, with bylines in The Guardian, ESPN, Wisden, and FOX Sports, writing colour pieces, interviews, features, book reviews, live blogs and match reports.”*

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.
