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!

On Monday this week Deepdene Uniting 1st XI opening bowler James Rogers became the first to complete an outstanding feat in the Macgibbon Shield Grand Final. In the 90 year history of the ECA & ESDCA, there have been 127 hattricks recorded in total, and not one of these has been in a Grand Final, let alone in the top grade of the competition.  Jimmy’s final figures were 6/39 off 22 overs, including 10 maidens. Congratulations Jimmy!

It’s a record that is hard to match in ECA history: 10 successive finals series, 6 consecutive Grand Finals, 3 Macgibbon Shields — the last two won back-to-back in emphatic fashion. And to top it off, opening bowler James Rogers has sent ECA officials scurrying to the record books, but none can recall any bowler [...]
