This Saturday night is the clubs annual Melbourne Cup night. All Stingray members are encouraged to attend this great family night. Harvey Jolly has prepared a quality field again this season, function begins 7pm onwards.

100 Reasons to celebrate for Peat

A nomination for the Grade Cricket Rising Star has coincided perfectly with 21st Birthday celebrations for Southern District’s Andrew Peat.

Winning the toss and electing to bat, Southern District started shakily against Port Adelaide in their Round 3 encounter at Bice Oval. Coming to the crease at 5/122, the right arm medium pace bowler played a dominate innings hitting 13 boundaries during his 152 minute stay at the crease. At stumps, Peat had guided the Stingrays to 7/269, finishing with a personal tally of 103 not out. The centurion then picked up figures of 2/35 from 7 overs to help secure first innings points; the Magpies being bowled out for 149.

Peat joined the Stingrays in the Ray Sutton Shield, before moving through the Under 14 and Under 16 grades (as well as also appearing in the BankSA Shield). Peat played his first senior game in the D Grade in season 2002/03, and debuted in the Stingrays' A Grade last year.

Nominees for the Grade Cricket Rising Star for 2008/09 include:-
Round 1 – No Nominee
Round 2 – Ryan Sawade – Port Adelaide
Round 3 – Andrew Peat – Southern District

We congratulate Andrew on his selection as the Grade Cricket Rising Star for Round 3.

Stingray's FeBLUary initiative wins award

Sourced from SACA news blog 8/10/08

The Southern District Cricket Club has been acknowledged for their efforts in raising the awareness of mental health, by being announced as a winner at the 5th Annual Dr Margaret Tobin Awards held yesterday.

Last season the Southern District implemented a number a number of initiatives to celebrate ‘FeBLUary’ a month dedicated by the Stingrays to link with their metropolitan and country zones, as well as the national organisation beyondblue, to raise the awareness of the effect of depression in our community. Initiatives undertaken by Southern District included a change to blue coloured playing caps in all grades, blue stumps, a Twenty20 match against the Police ‘blues’ and club members wearing ‘Beyond Blue’ wristbands.

Such was the success of this promotion, all Grade Cricket Clubs have agreed to join in the ‘FeBLUary’ initiative in 2009. Subsequently, SACA has programmed the round of Grade Cricket on 7 and 14 February 2009 as the ‘FeBLUary Round’ where all Grade Cricket Clubs will work together to raise awareness of this important cause.

SACA congratulates the Southern District Cricket on achieving this special award.

As most around the club would be aware we have lost our premier cricketer Shane Deitz to the land of the long white Cloud, New Zealand.

Much will be said of Deeta leaving and it is appropriate that this edition of the newsletter pays tribute to Shane and the magnificent impact he has had on our club.

Everyone who is not playing on Sunday is asked to come down to Adelaide No2 to wear red and support our A grade team and be part of Deeta’s last day – Be part of a piece of Stingray history and show Deeta the respect that he deserves.
A full summary of Deeta’s performances will be in the next newsletter but with over 5300 A grade runs and 21 wickets and a truck load of trophies, awards and more Shane Deitz leaves a big legacy at our club.

The SDCC wishes Shane all the best in the future, thanks him for all he has done for our club and hopes to see him back very soon.
