Merrion Cc Newsletter April 2019 MERRION CC NEWSLETTER APRIL 2019 Dear Merrion Cricket Club Members, The start of the 2019 season is fast approaching and it promises to be an exciting time for our Club. Here is a quick round-up of what’s ahead of us. SENIOR CRICKET Men’s 1st XI: John Anderson (c) and Patrick Tice (vc) will lead our Men’s 1st team this season off the back of a very successful 2018. Joining the squad will be Ollie Newton, who plays for Wellington in New Zealand where he was the joint-leading wicket taker in the 2018-19 Super Smash. We are also delighted to have former Irish all-rounder, Max Sorenson, joining the team who has been working the team hard throughout pre-season in his ProFitness Gym in Dundrum. The team kick-off the defence of their title at home on the 20th of April at home to Terenure and it would be great to get a strong Merrion contingent out to support the team on the day. Women’s 1st XI: Rachel Delaney (c) will once again lead our Women’s 1st team this year, and they kick their season off at home to Malahide on the 25th of April. Captain Rachel Delaney said the following about the upcoming season, “Having come so close to winning both the league and cup last season, the women’s first team are looking forward to the prospect of some thrilling cricket over the summer and hopefully bringing some silverware back to Merrion. We are particularly looking forward to seeing the further development of our young and upcoming players including sisters Emily & Kate McAlinden, amongst others. After receiving the Damien Poder scholarship at the end of last summer, Leah Paul has spent the winter in Australia playing with Ringwood Cricket Club. We are excited to see how her skills have developed. Celeste Raack will also be returning to Merrion for another season. Since last year, she has become qualified to play for Ireland. We anticipate that Celeste will become an integral part of the Merrion and Irish set ups in the future.

Robin Walsh was President from the foundation of the organisation at Stormont in 2007 until he stepped down early in 2013 to take up the Presidency of Cricket Ireland. The CWI are immensely proud that one of our number should be recognised thus and doubly so that Robin filled the role with such dignity and commitment. It turned out to be both a tremendously successful year on the pitch and a historic one off it, and we are fortunate that a man with a trained eye and stylish pen was there to witness it all — and share it with us. Throughout his presidency Robin wrote a regular diary which appeared on the Cricket Ireland website but it clearly deserves a larger audience and a permanent place on the growing shelf of Irish cricketing literature. And that’s why you’re reading this now. ‘Mine’s a Treble’ © Robin Walsh May 2014 Published by the Cricket Writers of Ireland Designed and edited by Ger Siggins Photographs by Barry Chambers.

  • Thesis Title
    Brooches, Blues and Bloomers: How Material Culture creates, sustains and enriches sport and physical education at Brisbane Girls Grammar School Pauline Harvey-Short DipT. (Sec Phys Ed), BHMS. A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences 1 | P a g e Abstract This thesis seeks to illustrate how material culture has created, sustained, and enriched the sporting culture of the Brisbane Girls Grammar School, a secular secondary girls’ school in Queensland, while attempting to contextualise the place sport plays in a schoolgirl’s education. There is an obvious void in the historical examination of girls’ physical education and sporting culture and this thesis is unique in the use of material culture as a methodology for its focus. The purpose has been to research the development of schoolgirl physical activity, specifically at Brisbane Girls Grammar School, through the media of objects and artefacts, not only illustrating the impact “things” have on people’s experiences and culture, but also exploring the value of artefacts as resources in the sporting context. Examining specific artefacts from perspectives of usage, style, context, and intrinsic and extrinsic value has enabled an assessment of the sporting and physical education culture of Brisbane Girls Grammar School. To explain the role sport and physical activity played in Queensland’s first secondary girls’ school, representative and original items were selected: prizes and awards for sport and physical education, photographs, and specific items of uniform. By using material culture as the lens, this study has enriched the traditional written history of the School.
