A Grade in the news and in2CRICKET Week 1

The A Grade side are in the local media this week after scoring their first win of the 2011-12 season. The full scorecard can be found here. As reported by The Hornsby Advocate here:

 

GALSTON-GLENORIE edged past Hornsby to score their first win since returning to the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai and Hills Cricket Association A grade competition.

Batting first at Parklands Oval, Hornsby captain Brent Hartland raced to a half-century after just 15 overs, hitting 13 fours before being dismissed for 62.

Then Hornsby collapsed from 3-87 to be all out for 112.

The destroyers were medium-pacers Josh O’Connor (3-32) and Glen Gittins (2-14).

Galston-Glenorie lost an early wicket but veteran Mark Middleton and Ted Tully steadied the side.

Middleton (37) was strong off the back foot and batted patiently, while Tully (22) played some delightful shots off his toes.

Galston-Glenorie moved to 3-91 before accurate bowling from Hari Jaganathan (2-22) and Darron Green (3-32) triggered a collapse.

But Liam Tully (10 not out) and Jason Stjernquist (2 not out) secured victory for Galston-Glenorie.

In2Cricket and Justin In 2 Schools

Last Friday, 1st of July saw the launch of the Cricket NSW’s In2Cricket Campaign and also The Galston-Glenorie Cricket Clubs push to start an In2Cricket centre at Les Shore Oval and to start a revival of juniors at the club.

Making the first steps towards starting an In2Cricket Centre at Galston-Glenorie, our Vice President and A Reserve Grade Captain Justin Epthorp was involved in promotional visits to both Middle Dural and Hillside Schools. Justin was lucky enough to see every child in each of the schools over the course of the day and gave them a little taste of cricket like they would expect to be doing if they joined the In2Cricket Program. At the end of the visits, the kids were given a Cricket NSW Showbag and a Galston Glenorie Cricket Club flyer with the details of the club. (more…)
