Copy of email from:

Hi all – GDCA representative  selection trials will be held this month.

i would appreciate you communicate  this information to your coaches – to invite past members of the GDCA  representative squads, and prospective players from their teams who they believe  have an ability to compete at this level of cricket. It is essential that  someone from each club sends me with a list of all players the club has  nominated for each age level, prior to the selection trial  date.

an important note is that the  times for the u12 and u14 trials has changed from the Junior Coordinators report  tabled at the meeting tonight.

Under 16 age will be having  an initial  training and get together on 13 October 2013, 10 AM, at Tony Clarke Oval,  Macedon.  All squad members from last season, and Pathways players  are invited to attend. If you have suggestions of other players who may be of a suitable skill level  to participate in Representative Cricket, please contact me by return email. i  am aware of an additional player nominated from each of Sunbury, Gisborne and  Wallan CC.
