My main passion in performing the Junior Co-ordinator role at Knox Gardens Cricket Club is to give as many kids as possible the opportunity to play cricket. This extends itself further in allowing the more talented players to tryout for representative honours.
The 2008/09 season has seen further opportunities present themselves over and above previous years. With our Club President, Bill Leane, becoming the driving force behind FTGDCA Rep Cricket, a more organised effort has been made to identify players around the Association.
Following extensive tryout sessions mainly held at our showpiece facilities, the teams are finally selected for Januarys VMCU Junior Carnival. The under 14 and two under 12 teams will call Knox Gardens Reserve home for these two weeks.
Representing Knox Gardens in the FTGDCA Under 16 team to play on turf are: Ben "Ringo" Morello, Rob "Mr Cricket" Howes and Ash "Wild Thing" Hawkes. In the Under 14 team to be coached by our own Aaron "Whitey" Bailey and managed by Ray "the white maggot" McInerney are: Daniel "broom broom" Carr, Campbell "butterfingers" Craigie and Scott "too many nicknames" McInerney.
In the Under 12 Mitchell Shield team we have Niraj "Dirk" DeSilva and Ewen "Ewey" Doonan. The Under 12 Josh Browne Plate team will be coached by our current under 13's coach Tim "Stoney" Flintoff and managed by Mark "why the hell would you swim/bike/run for 10 hours" Jankovskis. Their sons Zach "the attack" Flintoff and Nick "Pickles" Jankovskis have been selected in this side.
Other Juniors to be congratulated are Jonothan Lim who will be representing Mt Waverley CC in the RM Hatch competition and Josh Wylde and Jayden Hawkes who, along with Dan Carr and Campbell Craigie, are part of the Outer East Eagles Under 13 Development Squad.
I hope you all join me in wishing all these players the best when their chance comes on the field.
Hawksy,
KGCC Junior Co-ordinator |
