So anyone interested, please come on board.... If you wish to assist in some shape or form for the upcoming season and are not able to attend the AGM - email Greeny and let him know in advance so you can still be nominated on the night for election.... every bit helps no matter how much time you can commit....
See You There.

For those of you who are suffering withdrawal symptoms now that the Ashes anhilation has been completed, here is a link to a YouTube video of all 100 England Wickets. Now I know that these are supposed to be highlights, but it seems to me that wickets did actually fall this quickly in some instances.

And here are links to a couple of songs from Denis Carnahan, one about Mitchell Johnson's Mo,
and another about England's worldwide selection policy. Very Funny!

Our "Magarey Medal" count will be held on Saturday March 8, back at the Brighton Lacrosse Club after the the last minor round game.
Festivities kick off at about 7pm, but the club will be open from about 6pm, as usual.

We will be counting the votes for the Warradale Team Player of the Year in each grade. These are the votes that the players give at the end of each match during the minor round.
In addition we will be celebrating Dom Gibbie's 250th game, so come along and have a good time!

Meals will be provided - $5/head, Gourmet BBQ.
