Finally, well done to everyone for attending training with an awesome attitude to improve their cricket, it really has been a great turnout, and heaps of fun so let’s keep it going throughout the season. Also a reminder that if ALL teams win the round then the president puts on a keg, so get to training and make Kenny Beckett put some kegs on this season.
