Dear Sainter’s
The 2018-19 Season is quickly approaching; as a result, I would like to keep you informed on what is happening with the club now.
Our AGM has come and gone with a lot being taken out of it, some of the things that were discussed were:
- Expanding to a second team
- Recruiting
- Success in the 50 over season
- Becoming a more professional club
The board for next season was also decided. The 2018/19 Board will look like:
President – Bourkey
Treasurer – Sid
Secretary – Tangles
General Board Members - Binky, Brady, Dion, Huigi, Gibbo
We are also very happy to announce that Kenny has resigned and will be coaching us again next season. Last season it was very clear that a huge majority of us improved from the first game until the final game. We believe that if we can continue to improve in the manner that we did last season that success will follow.
Training has been up and running for a couple of weeks now. It has been great to slowly work back in to the cricket cycle. Rolling the arm over and getting bat on ball. It will continue to be Sunday’s at 10:30 right up until the AFL Grand Final. On October 3, we will return to our traditional Wednesday night spot at 6pm.
Keep an eye out for our functions – with our first function to be held shortly. As we offer free cricket for this season it makes it even more critical that we get as many players, partners and supporters to our events so that we can keep the club in a financially stable position.
The association pre-season meeting will be happening on the 23rd. I will let you know if anything
An additional coloured clothing order has been put in, and will arrive approximately in early October.
Recruiting currently has been good as we look to expand to two teams for the first time in quite a few seasons. We currently have a second side located in 8th Grade, which is exciting for the club, It is the first time we have had two teams since the 2014/15 season
As always, especially with two teams if you know anyone that is interested in a hit bring them along.
The season starts very soon with the T20’s start on the 13th of October, with the 40/50 over season beginning on the 27th of October.
We will be in 5th Grade this year, the teams in our grade this year at this stage will be:
- Brighton
- St Anne’s
- Bushy Park
- Knights
- Lindisfarne
- New Norfolk
- Bagdad
The teams that we will come up against in 8th grade at this stage are:
- Derwent
- Montagu Bay
- Claremont
- Sorell
- Mackillop
For the remainder of the off-season please make sure that you support our sponsors.
- The Talbot
- General Window and Cleaning
- Dial a Meal
- Aussie Home Loans
- Tas Isle Trading
- Contact Group
- Amigos Translate
It is going to be a big year at the mighty saints this year so let’s get excited for the upcoming season, as we chase success with both our teams.
I look forward to seeing you for a new season very soon. Any questions let me know.
Cheers
Bourkey
