Ron has secured a bat sponsor?

At training last week Ron Benjamin was so excited to show off his own personal bat sponsor for the 2012/13 season to his new 4^th Grade captain for this coming season Timothy Skewes.

Well done Ron, have you any free Voltaren samples with that deal???

 

Augments starting to flare up across Tamworth.

Have you received you Addimi 10% discount card yet?

 Addimi Espresso has given each member of City United a 10% discount card which you can pick up from Kathy.

 Mick, Dianne and Adrian from Addimi have been associated with City now for a number of years and it’s great to have their support again this season.
In return for their generosity, we ask that you might consider calling in as a way of saying thank you. When you do, present your Addimi card. If you are after the best coffee, the best light meals, the best friendly service in town head down to either one of the Addimi stores located in Peel St. or the newest store in the Guy V Kable Building in Marius Street.
GOOOOOOOO It is time for a Coffee CITY

First match not that far away.

The first two matches of the season, for the top three grades are One-Dayers firstly against Old Boys on October 6^th and then Bective (4^th Grade included) on the October 13^th. So there are both competition and One-Day points available, there is a great opportunity for us as a club to start the season off strongly. Let’s continue training hard and start the season with good performances. Training is every Sunday from 10am at Riverside 2 practice nets leading into the first match of the season and then we will change to Wednesday afternoon training. Always remember Train the way you wish to play.

Scorers they are part of the team.

Our 4th Grade scorer is currently at Dubbo doing some practical teaching. But she will be back in time for the season opener. This reminds of a story about two brothers from Dubbo.

Bluey goes to an fishing show and wins a tinnie.

 He brought it home and his wife looks at him and says,

"What are you gonna do with that. There’s no water deep enough to float a boat within 160 Klms of here."

He says, "I won it and I'm gonna keep it."

His brother came over to visit several days later. He sees the wife and asks where his brother is.

She says, "He's out there in his tinnie", pointing to the dry paddock behind the house.

 The brother heads out behind the house and sees his brother in the middle of a paddock sitting in the tinnie with a fishing rod in his hand ...

He yells out to him, "What are you doing?"

 His brother replies, "I'm fishing. What the hell does it look like I'm a doing?"

His brother yells, "It's people like you that give people from Dubbo a bad name, making everybody think we're stupid. If

I could swim, I'd come out there and kick your xxxx!"
 

Be safe Marissa!!!!!              GOOOOOOOO Scorers of CITY  

Dan shows us how it is done

At Training on Sunday our 1^st Grade Captain Dan Whale took us through some training drills one of which was to field the ball from the ground cleanly and throw the ball at a lone stump, about twenty metres away. Needless to say the stump was still standing tall after 15 minutes of cricket balls going everywhere and three of us giving up with dislocated shoulders. Dan feeling a bit frustrated by our poor attempts, said “let me have a go”

With one throw he made that bloody stump pay, with a direct hit the stump was ripped out of the ground, did two somersaults and landed there batted and bruised for me to take this photo.

GOOOOOOOO  don’t run on my arm  City

You are never to old to play fourth grade.

A group of older City 4^th Graders were talking back at the City Bowling Club after a training session.

”My arms are so weak I could hardly throw the ball,” said Paul.
“Yes, I know.  My cataracts are so bad I can’t even see the ball,” replied Terry.
“I couldn't hold the bat because of the arthritis in my fingers,” said Ron, to which several nodded in agreement.“I guess that’s the price we pay for getting old,”Then there was a short moment of silence.
“Well, it’s not that bad,” said Garry Whale cheerfully. “Thank God we have our Voltaren 25’s."
GOOOOOOOOOOO the not so younger CITY
