TRIVIA NIGHT

The first function of season 2023-24 will be a Trivia Night at the Clubrooms hosted by Club Secretary and side hustle quizmaster Sam Marcolin.

Trivia Night will be on the evening of Saturday 28 October for a 7.30 start.

The idea is simple, get your friends together, sit on a table and play trivia. $15 per person gets you a seat, drinks, food and bragging rights / an evening of disparagement.

All are welcome - partners, friends, ring ins, junior parents, etc.

Be sure to nominate your team to Luke Stanley 0410 842 923 ASAP as space will be limited.

Dominant display by the 2s with some outstanding bowling from the youth, including debutant Charlie Wightman and 13 year old Billy Jones.

1s were unlucky and never gave up, but probably finished 20/30 runs short in their innings.

Next weekend the 3s are back and junior games get underway.
