Another diary note: The Deeners Christmas Party will be this Saturday night at the Colonel’s place.
Andrew ‘Roo’ Hocking has belted his maiden century for the Deeners in a comprehensive victory over Burwood Uniting Canterbury at Lynden Park Upper. The Deeners posted a healthy 5/288 from their allotted 40 overs with Michael Leeds (77) and Shaun Lorenzini (57) providing great support to the Rampaging Roo. In reply, BUC could only manage 138, with Pat ‘Strings’ Gregory snaring 3/41, Al ‘The Wizard’ Wyatt 3/8 and James ‘Remember My Hat Trick’ Rogers 2/17.
After the match, Roo was typically modest, saying, “My goal is to be the greatest Hocking ever, and I think I’ve taken a step in the right direction today. After reaching my hundred, my main goal was to better my cousin Mark’s personal score of 110, which I managed to do. Once I reached that goal, I wasn’t much interested in hanging around.” Roo was out for 111.
It is believed that, on hearing of Roo’s feat, Mark immediately booked tickets back to Australia from his ice cave in Scandinavia and will arrive back in time to challenge Roo in his goal later in the season.
Congratulations Roo!
Gold Coast has cheaper and more direct flights than Ballina, and is only 30 minutes further away (60 mins). There are cheap regular shuttle buses operating between GC and BB. There are similarly-priced flights either side of these ones, but it would be great if we all booked the same ones so we can travel there and back together. DUCCCTOC also strongly recommends booking flights ASAP while they’re still cheap!
IMPORTANT: If you haven’t confirmed your attendance please email/speak to me ASAP so I can get a gauge on numbers and begin the hunt for a Deener-house!

A quick note that due to the work on Willsmere Park our One Day XI LOC5 game against Eastern Salvation Army this Saturday has been transfered to Stradbroke North, Burke Rd Kew (Between Belmore Rd & High St) – Melways Ref 45 K9. Please spread the word.
The 3rds home ground at Willsmere Reserve is still unavailable for play, so tomorrow’s game has been transferred to Hays Paddock North. With our LOC5 XI having a Bye this weekend, this is a great opportunity to get down and support the 1st and 3rd XI, who will be playing next to each other.
Training for tonight (Thursday Sept 29) and Saturday October 1 has been cancelled due to the wet weather.
Training will be as normal next week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings leading into the first game on Saturday October 8.
See you there!
Hi Deeners,
I hope everyone has had a good break, but its that time of the year where we must start preparing for the coming season.
So here is this the preseason training schedule:
Sessions are as follows:
Sunday 21st August 6-7 pm @ Hawthorn indoor (13 Mayston St Hawthorn)
Sunday 28th August 6-7pm @ Hawthorn indoor
Sunday 4th September 6-7 pm @ Hawthorn indoor
Saturday 10th September 10-11 am @ Hays Paddock
Sunday 11th September 6-7 pm @ Hawthorn indoor
Sunday 18th September 6-7 pm @ Hawthorn indoor
Monday 19th September 6-7 pm @ Hawthorn indoor
Saturday 24th September 9am at Hays Paddock
Monday 26th September 6-7 pm @ Hawthorn indoor
Thursday 29th September 6- Dark @ Hays Paddock
These sessions are vitally important to the way that we start our season so I look forward to seeing large numbers. All the practice we can get before round 1 is like money in the bank ready to be spent during the season.
It would be great if everyone could arrive at least 15 minutes before each session. If you are going to attend a session but are running late please let me know by contacting me on 0414 276 424. This is important in the structuring of training.
If for some reason these dates and times do not meet your busy schedules I am happy to discuss and or assist you in an individual program to get you up and running for the season, just call me.
I look forward to seeing people next weekend at the season launch and at training the following Sunday.
Regards,
Lora
