The New Season
October 2009 – R. Carrington

The New cricket season begins in HCMC this month, and the E.C.C.S. are preparing for this in a number of ways:

•  The season-opening social event will take place at Cepage Bar (Le Thanh Ton St, D1), on Friday 16th October. It’s the perfect event to attend if you want to find out more about who we are, what we can provide members, and meet those that make-up the membership of the Club. Food and drinks will be served during the Event which runs from 6:30pm – 9:30pm, so please feel free to come along if you want to find out more.

• Practice sessions at RMIT University in Phu My Hung will re-commence on Saturday 17th October from 10:30 – 12:30. Organised weekly, they provide the perfect intro for those that are either new to the game, or (like most of us), haven’t bowled a ball or swung a bat in anger for some time, (i.e. YEARS!!).

• The Season proper then begins on Sunday October 25th at RMIT, with last season’s finalists England and Australia duelling for early-season bragging rights. This site provides a full schedule for the season ahead, so if you want to come along and see what’s going on then feel free to visit RMIT. Games occur most Sunday mornings from 8:30 – 1pm.

Cheers to the new season!
