On behalf of Springfield Cricket Club, our Chairman Trevor Johnson, our Club Captain Jim Symonds and myself, I wish to sincerely thank ALL who supported our 2017 Cricket Week and especially our President's Day.
We had wonderful support throughout the week from so many players, members, their families, friends, and also the Springfield Striders and the Spring Chicks Rounders Team.
On President's Day itself we had a truly super morning and a buzzing lunchtime, but just a few overs into our afternoon cricket, all games were sadly washed-out by torrential rain. Whilst it could have been the curious sight of my new suit, I believe it was our wonderful club spirit and great camaraderie that caused so many to stay on through the afternoon and well into the evening, thereby turning a day which appeared to be heading for great disappointment into a most enjoyable "alternative" occasion.
Thank you all.
JOHN MACRAE
President - Springfield Cricket Club
Further to the message from El Presidente above Jim and all the club captains would like to add our thanks for our players for turning up and playing all the games over the busy week of cricket (not including my Goldie Friday night of course!). Also to our players families for supporting the day and most importantly all those "behind the scenes" doing the food or bar, without your input the event would never work.
The weather is the one thing we cant control (not even Lambo) and to see so many people pitch in and make the washed out day one to remember shows the fantastic club spirit we have.
Thanks everyone
Jimmy, Paul, Lee, Andy, Vinny and James
