ENTRECASTEAUX
CRICKET CLUB SEASON 2006
Sean Burke, ECC's former Captain over recent years
worked expertly and indefatigably building up the
club to itspresent dominating position in the South
Eastern League. Sean has had to step down from his
central role in the administration of the Club for
family reasons and has handed over organisation of
the upcoming 2006 season to a talented and hardworking
Committee.
This
Committee has been working away since the close of
the very successful 2005 Season to put together yet
another exciting and diverse series of cricket matches
in 2006 at Entrecasteaux's lovely home pitch, and
propose an extremely exciting season ahead with their
sights set on matching and surpassing previous achievements.
This
is a tall order, given the level of activity and success
achieved in 2005, when ECC played a total of twenty-eight
matches, eight more than ever before, won the SE League
and jointly hold the SE Cup after a thrilling tied
final against Monte Carlo. They undertook their first
foreign tour to Lodi in Italy and ran out winners
of the prestigious Golden Duck tournament there. ECC
were honoured with a home fixture against a visiting
MCC team and ran them close in a tough match. The
social side of the Club also flourished with Family
Days, Brunches and Barbecues, organised at a number
of Friendly fixtures and Seniors matches.
Well,
what's in store for the year ahead? The fixture list
already looks healthy with around twenty matches.
There will be SE League and Cup matches, many friendlies
against visitors from England, Wales and Italy, a
second visit to Italy to defend the Golden Duck Trophy
and the ever-popular, end-of-season ECC Festival featuring
the Entrecasteaux Sevens Tournament. Fun family days
and seniors matches are also on the agenda, have a
look at the exciting and pretty full attached Fixture
Programme.
The
great efforts of ECC's catering and fundraising team
have enabled the Club to make significant improvements
to both ground and equipment for the new season. This
season ECC willl be buying a caravan to assist with
the transport of equipment to and from the ground,
a bowling machine for practice sessions, a new practice
net and a new match scoreboard.
The
continuing success of the Club depends on its members,
whether they are first-team players, occasional players,
groundsmen, scorers, umpires, organisers, caterers,
fundraisers, supporters or benefactors.
