Ready for Cricket Season

By Russell Sakey

DESPITE the winterish weather, Upper Hunter cricket will begin on Saturday, October 8.

This season there will be 10 teams involved, with only the second Merriwa side dropping out.

In early discussions the rep scene is showing promise as the Upper Hunter has entered a second team in another competition.

It has, at times been difficult to get players to participate in the representative teams, as it can involve considerable commitment and time to be a part of the travel to various parts of New South Wwals over a number of months.

The talent is here, so let’s put it to good use.

The Upper Hunter will be playing Tamworth Blue in round one of the Country Plate on Saunders Oval, at home on 16th October 2016.

Round 1 – October 9, 2016 

• Rouchel v Aberdeen 2 – at Rouchel
• Aberdeen v Merriwa – at Aberdeen
• Bunnan v Murrurundi – at McNab Oval, Scone
• Bulls v Bulls 2 – at Saunders
• Belltrees v Warriors – at Belltrees

Please don’t forget, teams.

Score sheets to the Scone RSL as early as possible Sat, Sun or Mon morning after the game.
