Men’s Selection
The men’s Flag season we have just completed, has been very disappointing from our Club’s point of view.
All ended well on the last match day, March 12, when we won 4 of the 6 matches. This however was not enough, to prevent our second team from being relegated to Division 4, next season. They could only manage to obtain 18 points from the possible 63 points, which represents a percentage of +29% vs – 71%. Not sufficient interest and support from the senior players, being the main problem.
Our Provan side did not have any better luck with their games. With the overall shortage of players some weekends, they were the ones who suffered the most, as we had to pinch/borrow from their teams to play in the Flag teams. Thanks to all of you who played in the Provan teams and here is hoping it will be a better season next year!
One of the highlights of the season belongs to our first First team, they managed to finish in third position on the log. They achieved 34 points out of the possible 63 points, which represents a percentage of +54% vs – 46%.
Another pleasing aspect of the past season was the fact, that some of our new/lower graded players made very good progress and improved their bowling ability. That just goes to show that practice is NOT a waste of time! Well done to all of you, as well as to your mentors!
A new list of of players grading ( the selectors are going away after the list is placed on the Notice Board!) will be available by mid April and will reflect how we, the selectors, have been impressed by the way you have “played the game.”
Let us not forget how to enjoy the game, enjoy the players you play with, enjoy the greens and all the other facilities which are available to you! We, the selection committee, elected by you the members, have had a very difficult season trying to do a good job. To those of you that have assisted us and we know who you are, a big thank you! To the others……..
My last very big thank you goes to our “SWALLOWS,” without their help and enthusiasm, it would not have been possible to fulfil our fixtures.
JOANNE, if you and LEON stop working and spoiling us, I will commit SUICIDE!! Fantastic service from you and your sexy helpers! THANK YOU!
