Player Registrations
The page to register your information is online at here so get your details in there to get onto our club list for 2018/19. Even if you have the same details as last year, filling the form out is the indication that you are keen to run around again, as well as some important questions about playing kit as we look to celebrate the centenary in style!

Pre-Season Training
The first of our pre-season training sessions will commence on Sunday 19th August, at the Naremburn Lower Nets from 12pm until 2pm. This is the chance to dust off the kit and roll the arm over, with those sessions continuing each Sunday through to the 16th of September, with the session on 23rd September modified for a later start time of 1pm – 3pm.

Outdoor Training Dates:
Sun 19th August – 12pm – 2pm
Sun 26th August – 12pm – 2pm
Sun 2nd Sept – 12pm – 2pm
Sun 9th Sept – 12pm – 2pm
Sun 16th Sept – 12pm – 2pm
Sun 23rd Sept – 1pm – 3pm

We are hoping to start mid-week training early September, but are waiting to hear back about venu availability. Either way, get along to a training session, or all of them and have a run before the season starts in earnest.

NSCA Changes
In the 2018/19 season, the NSCA will be combining all synthetic grades with the NDCA to run under the NCU banner. This is not a merger, all the NSCA is doing is playing all grades under that banner to try and expand/improve on the synthetic cricket and have more teams/variety of competition. This should mean our D Grade sides from last year are not forced into 1-day only competition, and is a good result for our association moving forward.

Welcome Executive & Committee
Welcome again to our Executive and Committee members for the 2018/19 season. This is a big one for us, generally get one centenary in a lifetime so I welcome our volunteers who help to keep the club running behind the scenes. In saying that, if you have ideas on the sorts of things we can do for our centenary, fundraising ideas, sponsors etc then let us know.

So that’s all we have to update on for the moment, register your interest in playing for the ‘Bridge in our Centenary season, and I look forward to seeing you all throughout what will hopefully be another successful season for the ‘Bridge!

Regards,
Mitch Nicholls
Honorary President
Northbridge Cricket Club

Player Registration
Registration for the season is now available via the links in the side and top menus. All players, whether new or returning, are required to complete the form if they want to play this season. New players will be added into MyCricket so they will get the email communications out from the club about pre-season training, teams, gradings and selections, whilst for the returning players their details will be updated accordingly.

Pre-Season Training
Training will commence on Sundays from 3rd September at Naremburn Lower, from 12pm – 2pm. There is 2 nets there, and fielding drills will also be on the cards so make sure you get along and start to get the cricket muscles working again before the season commences.

Teams
We are looking at 5 teams being entered in the NCU/NSCA competitions this season, covering A Res (NCU Turf), B, C and D Grades again. This is pretty dependent on player numbers, so make sure to get your rego’s in asap. Within the NSCA it’s pretty certain that there will be games played on Sundays through the season due to ground availability, so players will need to be aware of that. The amount of Sunday games will be shared through the synthetic grades, so each grade will probably get some Sundays.

NCC Executive & Committee
Finally, congratulations to the returning Executive with no changes to positions, showing stability as we embark on our 99th year as a club. We do have a new Player Liaison Office this season, Alex Johnston, who takes on the role of helping to welcome our new players to the club as well as being a sounding board for any issues that could come up for players during the season.
