The Seddon CC Committee are pleased to announce Talor Williams as Senior Coach for season 2019/20. Talor will be supported by Liam Braithwaite as 1st XI captain and a coaching group consisting of John Dryiski, John Taylor and David Roche.
Talor came to Seddon CC at the Xmas break last season, immediately making an impact in the second half of the season (being ineligible to play 1sts due to VTCA rules) with his contributions with bat and ball - which was significant in the 2nd XI making the semi-finals for the second straight season. Talor is looking forward to working with the senior group this season. We believe Talor will be an excellent addition as coach and will be well supported by the coaching group throughout the season. Talor can be contacted on 0431 342 083 or via email on talorwilliams@hotmail.co.nz if you would like to get in contact with him. We wish Talor and Liam all the best for the 2019/20 season. In relation to pre season training, the coaching group and committee have finalised the schedule. The pre season training schedule has now been published on the website. Further information will be provided shortly on training expectations and requirements this season, the club get together on Saturday 31 August and the proposed practice match on Saturday 21 September. If you know of any friends or colleagues who would like to play at Seddon CC this season, please bring them down to training or the club this season. We’re looking for players of all ages and abilities across our senior and junior sides. The Seddon CC Committee

Dear Members,
Hope this message finds you well and you're loving these winter days. The cricket season and the warmer weather is not far away! Following on from recent club updates, below is an update on club news in the off season. Committee changes At the recent AGM on 19 June the committee welcomed Jim Bougatsias as Ordinary Member (2), replacing Stewart McLeod who served in the role last season. The committee would like to thank Stewart for his contribution on the committee last season and look forward to seeing Stewart around the club this season. The full list of 2019/20 committee members is listed here. Senior sides There has been discussion around the club for some time on the make up of our senior sides this season. At the last committee meeting it was decided that the 3rds would be a one side this season. Since the 4ths have been a one day side two seasons ago, and based on anecdotal feedback from a number of lower grade players over the last 2-3 years indicating they prefer to play one day matches, the committee have made the decision to advise the VTCA of our intention for the 3rds to be a one day side this season. Therefore this season the 1sts and 2nds will play in the two day competition (also playing one day matches) and the 3rds and 4ths will be one day sides only. We expect this decision will be advantageous to the 3rds in that players who prefer to play one day matches will now be selected in the higher side rather than choosing to play in the only one day side (as in previous seasons). We also expect more players - past and present - to embrace this outcome, which will consequently strengthen numbers across all grades. Bunnings BBQ In November last year the club ran a Bunnings BBQ at their Maribyrnong store. It was a great success in raising much needed funds and awareness of Seddon Cricket Club. This year our Fundraising Director, Brian Rooney, has secured the Bunnings BBQ at the Maribyrnong store on Sunday 8 September. With this commitment, we require as many club members to volunteer or come down and purchase a snag or 10 on the day! If you would like to volunteer on the day, please contact Brian Rooney on 0434 220 590. We will be up and running at 9am and finish around approx. 4pm - see you then! Junior umpires Each season the Western Region Junior Cricket Association (WRJCA) are looking for umpires to officiate in junior matches on Friday nights and Saturday mornings. This season is no different, with the WRJCA requesting clubs actively seek umpires across all junior grades and matches. Junior umpires are paid $60 for each Friday night or Saturday morning match. If you are interested in some extra cash and have a reasonable grasp of the laws of cricket relating to junior cricket, please contact Nathan Wigmore on 0408 551 708. Thanks. Regards, Leigh Davies President Seddon Cricket Club The next event on the Seddon CC social calendar is the Reverse Raffle & Vote Count on Saturday 2 March at the club rooms.
We have an action packed night planned including free drinks between 8pm-10pm (ticket holders only), the vote count to declare the Tom Kriebardis Award for 2018/19, the reverse raffle draw, dinner and entertainment to finish off the night. See below for more information on the Seddon CC Reverse Raffle:

The annual Seddon CC Multicultural Day is on Sunday 27 January. As a bonus, the following day is the Australia Day public holiday.
Seddon CC Multicultural Day event is a celebration of the cultural diversity at our club, and within the local community in general, while also celebrating the invaluable contribution of club members of all nationalities and backgrounds. Since we staged the first Multicultural Day event six years ago the event has grown and become an integral part of our social calendar. We have an action packed day planned including three teams (two sides from outside the club) competing in the T20 cricket competition for the Seddon CC Multicultural Day Cup, lamb & chicken gyros' for lunch, 'Foods of the World' for dinner, official presentations after T20 cricket tournament and a band finishing off a big day at the club. For the kids we have games inside the rooms and also a wading pool for the kids (and adults) to cool down throughout the day. This year the T20 cricket competition will once again be very competitive, with the title holders - SK Lankans - coming back to defend their title and the Victoria Police Cricket Club entering the competition. The Seddon CC side will be captained by our Scottish import Chris Sole. Note: The Seddon CC side still requires players to complete the squad - please let Leigh Davies or Josh Beaumont (Coach) know of your availability ASAP. See below for more information on Seddon CC Multicultural Day: Schedule 12pm Lunch - Lamb & chicken Gyros' under sponsors marquee on oval 12.30pm (T20 cricket competition begins) Victoria Police CC vs Seddon CC 3.30pm FINAL - SK Lankans (title holders) vs winner Victoria Police CC vs Seddon CC 7pm T20 cricket competition presentations (clubrooms) 8pm ‘Foods of the World’ dinner (clubrooms) 9pm Band - TBC (clubrooms) 11pm Close T20 cricket competition
Lunch Once again we will be cooking lamb and chicken gyros' for lunch, marinated and cooked on the spit for hours and served under marquees on the oval. Lunch will be served around 12pm-1pm. Dinner As with every year we have held the Multicultural Day event at the clubrooms, the 'Foods of the World' dinner will be supplied by club members and volunteers and will no doubt be a highlight of the days festivities. Dinner will be served after the official T20 cricket tournament presentations around 8pm and will include dishes from all parts of the world. If you would like to contribute a dinner dish, please advise Leigh Davies ASAP (as you/we can never have enough food!). Band This year we have a surprise in store with a new band to rock and roll the clubrooms after everyone has enjoyed the 'Foods of the World' dinner. Stay tuned for more details in the next week.
