The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,400 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

SCC Father and son make centuries in same innings

December 17, 2014 SCC Leave a comment

Exert from Star Weekly by Tara Murray…….

Sunbury Cricket Club’s Brendan Doyle told son Nathan he would return to the sport when the boy was old enough to play senior cricket.

And on Saturday, after a couple of games together earlier in the season in the Gisborne and District G-grade competition, they played a game they’ll never forget … both made centuries.

“I always said that when he got to the point of playing senior cricket, I would play again,” Brendan said.

Nathan, 14, joined his father at the crease against Sunbury United when the score was 3-64.

“We were chasing 190 against the second-top side and we’d lost outright the week before,” Brendan said.

“There was a fair bit of pressure on the side. We [he and Nathan] set the target of getting to the next drinks break.

“We got to 90 and then the tea break. Each session we set a new goal. We helped each other out there and he spoke to me when I played loose shots.”

The pair passed the score of 190 to get the six points and Brendan scored his second century of the season.

He departed for 142 in what was meant to be the last over of the day, after a partnership of 198.

“We had decided stumps was going to be at 5.30pm even though there was 10 overs to go,” Brendan said.

“I got out on the second ball of the over. From the last ball of the over Nathan hit a six to go to 95. Credit to Sunbury United, they kept playing to give him the opportunity to score his 100.”

Brendan said there were some pretty nervous moments watching Nathan trying to get the runs needed to get his maiden century.

“It took him three overs to get them, and I have never been so nervous in my life,” he said “It’s a very proud moment..”

Brendan said the reaction from Sunbury had been massive. “I’m led to believe it’s the first time it’s happened at the club and possibly the competition,” he said.

“Everyone was congratulating us, at the club and on social media. It’s unbelievable.”

Phillip Hughes 1988 – 2014

November 28, 2014 SCC Leave a comment

Phillip Hughes 1988 – 2014

Dear All,

You will have heard that Southern Redbacks batsman, Phillip Hughes sustained a fatal injury at the Sydney Cricket Ground earlier this week.

It is my sad duty to inform you that a matter of hours ago Phillip Hughes passed away.

The word tragedy gets used far too often in sport but this freak accident is now a real-life tragedy. Just shy of his 26th birthday, Phillip has been taken from us far too young.

As a cricketer, Phillip was an incredibly talented and dearly loved member of the Australian, South Australian and Adelaide Strikers squads and a former NSW representative. He also played county cricket in England and IPL in India. Without doubt he was a rising star whose best cricket was still ahead of him.

As a cricket community we mourn his loss and extend our deepest sympathies to Phillip’s family, friends and team mates at this incredibly sad time, and of course to the Australian cricket family and the State Associations. We are thinking of you right now.

I’d like to thank you and our club community around the country for the wonderful show of support given to Phillip and his family. From social media to phone calls to our front desk, the support has been tremendous and I want to thank you on behalf of Australian cricket.

We know that Phillip would encourage you to celebrate the game of cricket with your mates over the weekend. We ask you to do that in tribute to Phillip Hughes. Whether that’s getting creative with writing his player number 408 on the outfield, wearing a black arm band or having a moment’s silence after the toss. Celebrate his great achievements and the contribution he made to our game.

Phillip Joel Hughes played 26 Test matches for his country. He will be sadly missed and forever remembered.

Yours sincerely,

JAMES SUTHERLAND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
CRICKET AUSTRALIA

SCC gains Good Sports Level 3 Accreditation

October 12, 2014 SCC Leave a comment

Good Sports Level 3 Accreditation

Sunbury Cricket Club is committed to the principles of responsible alcohol management by applying for Level 3 accreditation in the Australian Drug Foundation’s Good Sports program.

Good Sports is the first nationwide alcohol management program of its kind and is run in Victoria by Good Sports with the support of the Australian Drug Foundation and the Department of Health and Ageing. The program was developed following research conducted by the Australian Drug Foundation which indicated that by introducing responsible alcohol management practices, clubs became safer and more viable.

As a requirement of Level 3, the Club has to demonstrate alcohol responsibility and reduced alcohol related harm. The policy includes sections on bar management, the sale of low and non-alcoholic drinks, safe transport, the provision of food when alcohol is served and removing the emphasis on alcohol for player awards, functions and prizes.

We are confident that our involvement in the Good Sports program will continue to improve the environment at the Club. We are working to ensure that Sunbury Cricket Club is a great place to participate and socialise for all members of our community.

The club will regularly monitor to ensure we comply with the program. It is the responsibility of all members to make sure we do the right thing when drinking and enjoying ourselves.
