Carnegie Cricket Club would like to announce Ash Chawla as the senior coach for 2017/18. Ash was last seasons 1st XI premiership captain for CCC. Ash brings a wealth of experience to the roll, he also brings premier cricket experience. The club feels that Ash can carry on his great work as 1st XI captain from last season and continue that momentum as we proceed to higher grade cricket.

Ash has a great team of experienced assistants under him, these assistants bring batting, bowling and fitness all specifically targeted to improve our overall skill base as we progress to the CSB’s top level.

Get behind the team, be willing to learn and take advice and lets make this another great year.

Go Neggies!

Last night Carnegie CC welcomed two new Life Members, Joan Dempster and David Morrissey. Both pictured here with President Luke Meyer.

Joan Dempster: Joan has been the clubs most loyal supporter for the past 20+ years. Joan has rarely missed a social function in all of those years and is still a regular down watching Carnegie CC matches both home and away. Joan has also made afternoon teas for the first XI for over 10 years, this has been a great support to all 1st XI skippers over this time. Most players who have been playing at the Neg for many years would consider Joan their grandmother. Well done Joan on this great achievement.

Carnegie Cricket Club is pleased to announce the re-signing of The “Gujarat Express” Tatsat Brahmbhatt. Tatsat joined Carnegie CC last season as seriously quick opening bowler and he certainly delivered last season in our premiership winning CSB 1st XI. With figures of 28 wickets @ 13.79 (best bowling of 4/9). Tatsat was also a handy all rounder scoring nearly 300 runs @ 20.00. Week in week out Tatsat had opposition batsman jumping around with his fast pace bowling. Tatsat will be a vital cog in the 1st XI’s promotion to CSB Championship division.

More announcements to come shortly.

Go Neggies!
