Hi all

The season is but finished. Club awards night on

Saturday 27th April, association awards night on

Saturday 4th May and the club’s AGM will see our

inaugural year completely wrapped up.

Well done to all in making sure we fielded

competitive sides in all grades during the season. To

those players who missed out playing games in

certain rounds because there were too many

players to choose from thanks for not complaining

too much about your non-selection. The committee

is also very appreciative to all who completed the

survey that Xavier assembled and circulated.

Congratulations to our sides that made the finals this

year. It is always a special time to participate in

these games. Unfortunately the F graders didn’t

experience any wins in these games this year after

reaching both the one day GF and semi-finals for

the combined competition. The one day league

boys had mixed results that saw them missing out on

making the Grand Final but it should be sufficient

incentive to keep most of them coming back next

year to try and make sure they finally reach the

pinnacle of their careers.

It was a pleasure to be able to witness the victory of

our C grade side when they defeated Wanneroo at

the Showgrounds. It was also a great moment to

swing past Edgewater theweek before to see the

side and our supporters who had turned out in force

celebrating theirsemi-final win including many

members of the vanquished F grade side.

The level of support shown at both these matches is

the true reflection as to how well the clubs have

merged together this year. For the C graders to pull

off the win in such nail biting circumstances was

the just desserts/icing on the cake. It was also fitting

that they could celebrate this victory on the same

day that the Warwick Greenwood Juniors held their

presentation day back at Penistone

Reserve/clubrooms. Well done to Scott and his

team in winning the first premiership flag for

Warwick Greenwood Senior Cricket Club –

stalwarts from both clubs contributed to the

success of this side as well as being ably supported

by Michael Moses who was playing his first year of

senior cricket.

I encourage as many as possible to attend the

club’s award night on Saturday 27th April.

Thank you to all who have made sure that this year

has gone as well as it has\. We look forward to

making sure that next year is even better.

S E A S O N W R A P U P

A Grade

One Day – 8th (1 win, 6 losses)

Two Day – 8th (2 W1, 11 L1 & 1 L2 losses)

A tough year but lots of youngsters blooded.

Times like this make us harder and tougher and

I’m sure the boys will all have big hearts next

year and stick with it.

C Grade

One Day – 4th (8 W1, 1 D, 5 L1)

Two Day – 4th (3 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses)

A great season culminating in the Premiership in

Two Day cricket! Well done boys!!!

D Grade

One Day – 6th(2 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses)

Two Day – 8th (4 W1, 1 draw, 9 L1)

Lots of young players blooded even as young as

14 which will hold the club in good stead next

season and beyond.

F Grade

One Day – 2nd (4 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses)

Two Day – 3rd (2 W2, 5 W1,1 draw, 5 L1, 1 L2)

Successful season, bring on next year to go one

step further!!!

H Grade

One Day –6th (3 wins, 4 losses)

Two Day – 6th(1 W2, 4 W1, 8 L1)

H Grade had some ups and downs this year with

us beating some strong teams and then getting

beaten by teams that we should have walked

over. Some extremely impressive batting from

Shahid & Jamal and outstanding bowling from

Nazza.

THE REDS REVIEW

S E A S O N W R A P U P C O N T .

One Day League

2nd – 10 wins, 4 losses and 2 byes

A great year for the boys finishing 2nd on the

ladder after the minor rounds. Unfortunately we

couldn’t get over the line in the finals getting

knocked out in the Prelim by the eventual

Premiers. Some outstanding efforts this year with

the bat and ball. Look forward to a big

2013/2014!!!

N E W S O F T H E M O N T H

Well this is an easy one!!! The news of the month

for our final newsletter this season is that C Grade

are Premiers for season 2012/2013!!!!!!!!

Great win by the boys!! In their first final it was 1 vs

4 when our boys took on the might of Edgewater

and beat the cocky bastards!! The old saying of

don’t count your chickens before theyre hatched

was pertinent here as Edgewater had

guaranteed themselves a place in the Grand

Final…unfortnatey for them they ended up

scratching their balls come Gradn Final

weekend….so sad.

In the Grand Final it was our mighty warriors up

against Wanneroo at their home ground. After a

great start rolling Wanneroo for 100 our boys

were 1/39 at stumps with Higgers and Moses

batting beautifully for the last hour and half. Some

spectators thought it would be a mere formality

the next day but our boys knew they would have

to fight to the end……and it was so. What a

battle!!! At one stage we were 5 for 60, 6 for 64, 7

for 73, 8 for 83 and 9 for 95. However we were

always a chance with the cool head of Tully at

the crease. It was fitting that at the end he was

batting with his brother who has been the bowling

hero all season when he hit the winning runs.

What an unbelievable feeling for the boys and

their supporters.

A big thankyou to all those that came down over

the finals and supported the boys.

C Grade – Premiers 2012/13 Yeeeeeehhhaaaaa!!

To all our magnificent sponsors, a massive

thank you for making our first year as

developed a winning club culture and will

continue to improve again next year.

See you again in season 2013/14!!!

THE REDS REVIEW

T H E P H A N T OMS C O LU MN

Hello Avid Readers,

It's my time again to have a look at some of the

more colourful characters that are playing at this

fine club.

The cricketer in my sights this month is a

veritable rock star and demi god in this club. A

man that can bamboozle batters and maidens

alike.

It's the Sicoe himself, Simon Coe.

Fairly new to this club Simon has become one of

us even though he is a Pom. The club has

welcomed him in even though he has moths in

his wallet and hasn’t had a shower in a week,

and even when he did he shared the water with

8 other Poms!

One of the most under rated bowlers in the club,

Simon cops plenty from the higher graded

players about his bowling….they promptly shut

up though when he gets them out!!! Has a full

list of balls he can choose from, he has been

collecting them from all the clubs he has played

for over his many years.

Has had stints at clubs in England – the mother

country, Ireland where all the drunks play, has

toured Brazil, Lima and Peru teaching

Mongolian warriors the nuances of the sport and

then landed in sunny Australia. First called

Canberra home before realising even us

Aussies think Canberra is gods arsehole end of

the earth before settling in gods own country –

Perth Western Australia.

Very impressive on the dance floor and can

show the younger generations how to bust a

move. However don’t get in his way as he gets a

very serious look on his face when he is

dancing….he is either concentrating really hard

or is trying to fart out the Black pudding he had

hours earlier!!

T H E P H A N T OMS C O LU MN

A solid trainer who loves running laps Simon

always looks awkward taking a catch but

always seems to hold them; it must be all

those English mints he got from his mate

Simon Jones!

Known to win bar awards in his first year at

Greenwood, Sicoe loves a Coopers Pale Ale.

Sicoe was most disappointed his mate Puma

didn’t win the bar award, however with the

money they both put over the bar the club

was able to purchase 3 beachside mansions

on the Gold Coast!!!

Known to the ladies as a Rock Demi god,

Rod Stewart constantly rings Sicoe for tips

and hints on how to handle himself around

the female variety.

The one the only – Simon Destroyer Coe.
