Squad Announcement for U12 Statewide Cup Carnival

Big thanks to the 35 players and parents involved in the trials for the U12 Statewide Cup Carnival to be held in the December school holidays. Selecting a balanced squad proved to be a very difficult task this year. Congratulations to those selected, we could've easily fielded two teams if we were permitted. We hope those who were not successful this time will consider taking part in the Gary Putland Youth Cricket Academy trials which will be held around Feb/March. The squad in no particular order is:

Deacon Trembath; Joel Stidson; Luke Lovelock; Chris Murphy; Ben Evans; Jack Arthur; Kohan Hollitt; Tanner Kenny; Suraj Rajesh; Kane Marshall; Sam Hindes; Kane Gaitor; Zac Venning; Jacob Tonkin and Wesley Weetra. 

Coach Vincent Nizzola will be in contact with this group in the coming week with information about training and information for the carnival. Thanks again to all involved!
