THE FLY SLIP WRITTEN BY CHRIS REID August 2013 The Waitakere Cricket Club has come an awful long way in the last year or so. At this point last year oursenior teams had no sponsors of note, which certainly made things difficult. What a difference a year can make! With the appointment last season of Barfoot & Thompson Te Atatu and Vernon Logistics as principal sponsors of our club in conjunction with Cricket Express we were able to improve our status as a principal club significantly . The 2013/14 season sees the continuation of all the before mentioned sponsors with the addition of New Balance as our new naming rights sponsor for the premier side along with Arc Recruitment, and Boot It Fitness as principal sponsors. It goes without saying that the appointment of these new sponsors and the continuation of our existing relationships is massive for the club. The extra funding and support this will bring will allow us to implement new initiatives that will aid us significantly in ourquest to win the Tom Hellaby two day championship. New Balance joins us as they make their first venture into the world of cricket. They have recently launched a range of cricket gear including bats, shoes, pads and gloves and currently sponsor the likes of Jonathan Trott, Dale Stein, James Pattinson, Mitchell Mcclenaghan and former WCC player Ronnie Hira. Arc Recruitment is a boutique IT recruitment agency owned and operated by our very own premier reserve coach Chris Reid. Boot IT Fitness is another close to home sponsor belonging to our new premier coach Mark Tulloch. Boot IT have been providing free fitness sessions to our premier squad and will also be sponsoring the warm up apparel for the season ahead. The Waitakere Cricket Club would like to thank andwelcome all our sponsors. The 2013/14 season sees a changing of the guard with Mark Tulloch replacing Nazeem Smith as premiercoach. Mark joins us from the North Shore Cricket Club and was identified as someone that possessed the necessary skills to help move our premier side forward. Mark comes with an excellent pedigree which includes age group honours with Queensland cricket, Auckland A’s, and the wider Wellington squad. Mark also captained a championship winning Cornwall side at the tender age of 21 so he knows what it takes to win. Mark will be an active playing member of the premierside and is coming off a 560 run and 21 wicket season. The club has also been busy looking to bolster ourplaying stocks with the recruitment of formerAuckland Aces batsman Gene Andrews, talented young all-rounder Raja Sandhu, and overseas import Matt Cottrell who will be joining us from the Milford club in England. Gene joins us also from the North Shore Cricket Club and returned to cricket last season after taking a number of years off and performed solidly with a 38 run average. Gene is one of the highest profile players the club has ever recruited having played 5 games for Auckland back in 2005/06 before taking 5 years off from the game. Raja is a 21 year old fast bowler perhaps best known for the hat tric k he took against Waitak in a T20 game last year. Raja is a raw talent with natural pace and would be up amongst the quickest bowlers in Auckland. Matt Cottrell is a close personal friend ofour long time overseas professional Aaron Jeavons and joins us from our sister club Milfor d in England. Matt is a batting all-rounder who bats anywhere from 3 to 6 and is in the middle of a breakout season and is currently the fourth leading run scorer for his club in premier cricket. The club would like to welcome all our new recruits and wishes them the best for the season ahead. New Sponsors Signal The Start Of A New Era New Coach And New Players = Big Goals And Huge Potential

New Sponsors Signal TheStart Of A New Era
New Coach And New Players =Big Goals And Huge Potential
It’s that time again and pre-season is here. The premier squad has already been undergoing
gruelling Sunday fitness sessions for the last month
under the watchful eyes of new coach Mark
Tulloch. Our indoor sessions are once again to be
held at the Suburbs New Lynn indoor facility
kicking off on Monday the 19th
of August from 7pmtill 9pm. The schedule for this season will be
slightly different with the premier squad undergoing
a shorter but more intense pre-season spanning six
weeks with two sessions per week.
The start of the season proper will be intersected bya new initiative in the form of a pre-season tour
where our Premier and Premier Reserve sides will
be travelling to Whangarei to play the City Cricket
Club over two fixtures spanning the 21st
and 22nd
of
September. This should serve as not only a great
tune up for both sides but also an opportunity for the
boys to bond prior to what we hope will be a hugelysuccessful season.
Pre-season for our grade sides and Premier Women’s side is also confirmed to be held at theSuburbs facility beginning on the 8
thof September
from 7pm till 9pm.
The future of WCC looks to be in very good hands witha number of our youngsters gaining selection in ACAand Western Districts under 18 winter academies.
Our very own version of the Waugh twins, Amit and Adi
Dhadwal, have once again been selected for the ACA
winter academy. This is a great result for Amit & Adi
following on from their selection in the AucklandSecondary Schools eleven late last season for which Adi
was the captain.
We have also had no fewer than eight players selected
for the Western Districts under 18 winter academy. The
club would like to congratulate the following players
Navan Lombard, Jack Windler, Jared Challis, Dylan
Lombard, Ben Lister, Travis Ngatai, Damian Stephen,
and Saumani Tiai on their selection.
Preseason Begins And A TourBeckons
Rep Honours For Our YoungGuns
We have once again been represented at the first class level by Anaru Kitchen with the Auckland Aces and Samantha
Curtis with the Auckland Hearts. Anaru is now a senior member of the Auckland side and has been justly rewardedwith one of the 13 ACA contracts. Samantha is set to again play a major role for the Hearts and continue on the formthat saw her selected in the wider 30 man White Ferns squad.
On behalf of the club we would like to congratulate both Anaru and Samantha on their achievements and we wishthem all the best for the season ahead.
