opportunity to hand out gear and clothing for all teams, so make sure you don't miss what will be a great day
to launch the upcoming season. |

Umpiring Courses
All teams from u11's upwards are
now obliged to have two ticketed umpires. The Manly Warringah Junior
Cricket Association are running courses (held over two evenings) to
obtain an umpire's ticket. Our club have volunteered to host both the
Stage one information session as well as the Stage two exam at the
Forestville RSL Club (to make it easier for our members to get there!). The sessions will start at 7:30 p.m. and finish
by 10 p.m. Stage one is being held on Thursday, 28 August (Forestville RSL Club) and Stage Two on Wednesday, 10 September.
