With only one or two stoppages to accomodate the rain (the Poms wouldnt have stepped foot on the ground all day) our current Seniors, Thirds and U18's took on Past Legends and all comers in a great day for all at Tigerland.
All the teams made a bit of an effort with their uniforms and it was no surprise to see Cubby's winners were also the best turned out group in their dobbo sponsored tops.
It wasnt just the Magician who entertained the kids (great family idea guys!) that had a few tricks as 6"s rained all over during this entertaining day played in great spirit by all.
Gee we've got some talent at the Club and even the older guys took it up to the young guys during the day.
I even got to witness Mattias (questionable bowling style?) take a wicket with his second ball in game 2 with Adam Booth showing some form behind the stumps to give Sweden its first cricket glory in history!
All monies raised went towards supporting those victims/families of the recent and most tragic Victorian Bushfires. As a club where many of our members are ex Victorians it was something that all who took part in the day were more than happy to contribute to.
Cubby's team took home the chocolates and were simply outstanding in the Final,thrashing a dejected and rabble like Butchs Boys who may have gone into the tournamaent a tad cocky. With Gary Wallace, Zac, Theo, Hicksy & Co all in scintillating form they would probably have given the Aussies (well OK, the Kiwi's) a run.
Great day had by all and thanks to Nifty Allen and all the organisers, cooks, bar guys, magicians, groundsmen, sponsors and everyone associated with it.
