Janelle Pais Albany Creek Cricket Club Inc Issue 1-5 Volume 29 Summer Season 2019-2020 Henry Patrick Janelle Pais Mitchell Graham Full Season Cricketer Inaugural Female Cricketer Half Season Cricketer of the Year 2018-2019 of the Year 2018-19 of the Year 2018-19 Under 12 Night Hawks Under 13 Diamond Hawks Under 12 Sea Hawks Welcome to our first Hawk Talk edition for 2019/2020. I would like to send a special welcome to all those new families with the Hawks this season. This year we have a record 38 teams playing from U8 through to our Open division which is U16 to U18. This season, as with last season, we have two half season competitions, a pre –Xmas and post Xmas competition. With these two separate competitions before and after Xmas, it will be possible for your team to win two competitions throughout the full season. After Xmas when some players go off to play for their schools, we will re-arrange teams to fill any vacancies. This is usually only for teams from U12 upwards. This year we will be again sending out the Hawk Talk electronically. This reduces costs and certainly takes a load off the time spent by our Editor, Eddie Mills. It also allows us more flexibility to highlight the various products of our very generous sponsors. Thank you to all those people who have volunteered to be coaches or managers. This season we only had to find a few new coaches, mostly in the younger age groups, which says a great deal about our retention rate. The parents of this club appreciate the work that is being done by these wonderful people and have every confidence in the way their children are being cared for. Remember parents that this is your club and any help that you can offer makes life easier for coaches/managers/scorers and club officials. We are all volunteers. On training nights, you can help out by being prompt when picking up children. Your team officials will not leave until all kids are collected so be considerate to them. On game days support your team and the opposition in a positive manner. Our children will model our behaviour. Winning humbly is as important as congratulating the opposition when they are successful. Scoring and umpiring can sometimes be very stressful so please help your team by being supportive of those who have put their hand up to do the tasks that provide games for your children. I would not like to see cricket as being a child- minding service on Saturday mornings. We have a new Treasurer this season in Leon Marais and already he has fitted in well. Thanks to Kathy Casey for all her admin work in getting coaches and managers set up as well as all the MyCricket duties which are necessary. I would like to thank all our committee people in advance for the great work which I know they provide this season. We welcome back Andrew Phan and his van to our Friday Night competition. He offers a delicious variety of coffees and hot chocolates as well as burgers, chips and toasted sandwiches. I would also like to thank the ACE Netball Club which has kindly allowed our club the use of their toilet facility for Friday night cricket. It is far too dangerous for our young cricketers to have to go over to the old clubhouse building with cars and poor lighting around those premises. Congratulations to our hard-working Registrar, John Murray who has successfully placed over 380 boys and girls into those 38 teams. We do have two All-girl teams in the BNJCA All-Girls competition. Please be prompt with the match reports and stats reports that you send into Kathy or Eddie. All our trophies at the end of the season are directly dependent on your match reporting. No stats = No trophies. I recommend that you support all the generous sponsors who make a significant contribution to our club and allow us to provide the excellent facilities and equipment to enable the players to achieve their playing potential.

Ray, you will be sorely missed by all of us and we are grateful for all you have done. Enjoy your retirement. The Sponsor’s Spin We recognise the fantastic contributions of our valued sponsors. We have many businesses that sponsor our club and this has enabled us to provide a sport at a reasonable cost and at the same time to keep your club financially sound. Please express your appreciation for the sponsor’s contributions by using these businesses wherever possible. On behalf of the Albany Creek Hawks Cricket Club we sincerely thank L.J. Hooker Albany Creek ACORSHE PesDev Group & Albany Creek McDonalds Audit & Tax Accountants Albany Creek Keith Dudgeon Cricket Specialist Laserzone Premier Cricket Simply Pest Control Zenith Promotions We look forward to all our sponsor’s continued support. With much appreciated help from our sponsors, your club is able to provide you with an excellent standard of facilities at a comparatively low cost and we will strive to continue this in the future. We sincerely thank Jason & Melinda Chandler of L.J. Hooker Albany Creek, our club shirt sponsor; Cassie & Corie Morrad of ACORSHE, our shirt sleeve sponsor and Michael Pescatore of PesDev Group & McDonalds Albany Creek, our Friday Night Cricket ‘Player of the Match’ sponsors for their valued support and hope that their businesses grow as a result of their association with the Albany Creek Hawks Cricket Club. The PesDev Group will provide a McDonalds $25 Family Meal Voucher for one Under 8 and one Under 9 player each week. The lucky recipients will be drawn after all matches have been completed on the night and the lucky winners will be announced the following Friday and receive their vouchers then. Laserzone has provided Player of the Match Vouchers for each team to be issued by coaches every Friday night to players of their choice. Please keep our fields tidy and remove all rubbish at the end of training and matches, There are several rubbish bins placed around the net and field areas. This applies for all grounds used during the season, i.e. schools and opposition fields Restrooms at all grounds are for everyone’s use and convenience. Please leave them in a tidy condition and report any issues to your team manager. When entering the South Pine Sports Complex at any time, please travel at the signed speed limit for everyone’s safety, especially during night cricket when visibility is limited. Please park only in designated parking spots and refrain from parking on lawns around the complex. Please ensure that net and field lights are turned off at the end of training sessions. Non-club members can not utilise the lights at any times and the lock codes are made available to club coaches for Hawks members only . We frequently find items left behind after matches or training. Please ensure to check your areas for any items before leaving the field. If you have left something behind you can email us on [email protected]. Generally any lost items are kept in our club canteen for a short period of time until claimed. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PARENTS - TEAM PLACEMENT POLICY We do not grade players at Albany Creek Cricket Club. It is the policy of the club to attempt to place players according to the individual requests of the players. If no special requests are made, players will be placed in the appropriate age group. To make it simpler for existing players to register for the next season, we will provide pre-filled registration forms on our club sign-on weekend. Please note - the registration form and the club’s webpage form provides a special request section, so that parents can make requests for team placement as per examples: • Same team as last year • With Matthew Hayden • With players form ‘All Saints School’ Registrations are only accepted through MyCricket, including payment. If you wish to contact our Registrar, please email [email protected] Towards the end of each season we will publish the dates for next season’s sign-on weekend in the newsletter and on the club’s Webpage and Facebook page. We would also like to remind all parents to ensure that any changes in contact details are forwarded to the club to avoid missing out. Increasing player numbers each year make the administrative task of organising teams more difficult. At the beginning of each season our registrar invests a great deal of time reviewing all player requests before allocating players to individual teams. This commences on Sign-on weekend and continues over several weeks, with new registrations and late registrations coming in right until (and sometimes well after) the season’s first game.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • Kinds of Prayer for All Kinds of People. Passage: 1 Timothy 2:1-7
    Title: All Kinds of Prayer for All Kinds of People. Passage: 1 Timothy 2:1-7. Number 124, Number 124… No, I’m not calling out a hymn number, or the Maccas’ Order number for your Big Mac and Coke, No. What are you going on about Luke? Good question!! Who’s ever dreamed of representing your country on the sporting field? I know I have. To be part of an elite exclusive club of people who have had the honour of representing the nation would be amazing Growing up, back when I was a young lad, my family and I used to listen to the test cricket on the radio as we painted the outside of our weatherboard house. And probably like many young blokes, used to dream of representing Australia on the cricket field, of having the honour of putting on a Baggy Green. Just in case you missed the news, I didn’t make it! But I heard about the heroes of the day, Graham Yallop, Rick McCosker, Dennis Lillee, Jeff Thomson – no relation by the way even though the last name is spelt the right way - the Chappell brothers, Rod Marsh, these were the cricketing heroes of my early years. You may not care about cricket, but whatever sport there is, there’s only a limited few who get to represent the nation on the sporting field. In Cricket, there’s only 11 who get to pull on the baggy green and represent the nation on the field. Out of a nation of 24 Million, only 11 get to represent the Nation, it’s rather an exclusive bunch isn’t it? Since 1877, there’s only been 452 players that have had the honour of representing Australia on the cricket pitch over the last 142 years.

Live sports commentating: a comparative study of cricket, football, horse racing and tennis commentaries. 2019, University of Zurich, Faculty of Arts. Live Sports Commentating: A Comparative Study of Cricket, Football, Horse Racing and Tennis Commentaries Thesis presented to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of Zurich for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by lic. phil. Aleksandar Popov Accepted in the spring semester 2019 on the recommendation of Prof. em. Dr. Udo Fries and Prof. Dr. Daniel Schreier Zurich, 2019 Abstract The aim of this doctoral thesis is to investigate the linguistic features of spoken English sports commentating. Sports commentary is a combination of narration and entertainment, and an easily recognisable form of communicating information to a mass audience. By examining a corpus of 160,000 words transcribed from live cricket, football, horse racing and tennis commentaries broadcast on UK television and radio, a quantitative and qualitative study is carried out for the purpose of determining the effects of three factors on the language produced by sports commentators: the nature of the sport, the nature of the broadcast medium and developments over time, defined by the interval between two sets of recordings (1996–2002 and 2013–2015).
