Australia Day Celebrations

Training has been moved to 10am-12 noon on Thursday 26th January. This gives you all the chance to still put in the hard yards before the weekend but then enjoy Australia Day. You can then settle back in the Pavilion, enjoy a couple of cold beers and watch the 3rd day of the Test Match. The BBQ will also be in action so that people can also enjoy some food after a tough morning in the nets.

Please feel free to join your fellow players on this day.

***The club cannot be held responsible that test cricket will be provided, after all it will be the 3rd day!!***

Bloomfield in Comets Team

Djali Bloomfield has been called up to represent the ACT Comets in their match against Tasmania next week at Manuka Oval. Bloomfield's selection comes on the back of 15 wickets @ 22 this season and a successful trip to Geelong for the Country Championships where he claimed 9 wickets @ 31. We wish him well in this opportunity to perform at this higher level.

Two Northies players in the Under 19's Squad

State and International Cricket in Canberra

As you will all already be aware Canberra hosts a fine array of cricket in December to coincide with the Festival of Cricket. Below are the details of each game.

Cricket ACT CEO Mark Vergano said, "This is now our opportunity to not only enjoy the matches and derive benefit from them but also to set up our future as we embark on a journey for a Big Bash League licence. The Ryobi Cup match on a Sunday, December 4, is the perfect “family day” to get out to the cricket. Even if the juniors are playing in the morning, it is a One Dayer and will go long into the afternoon. In fact Juniors and In2Cricket fans are provided with FREE entry when wearing their club shirt or In2Cricket shirt."

Lets make sure this is a well supported event by Northies both young and old

Chris Cairns Signs With Norths

13th September, 2011

The North Canberra Gungahlin Cricket Club is very excited to announce that Chris Cairns has signed up with the mighty eagles!

Chris, who recently moved to Canberra with his family, is keen to get involved both on and off the field, and has already met a few of the Northies boys at pre-season training.

Club President Phil Coe said "The signing of Cairns is exciting for the club. He will obviously bring a vast amount of playing experience from his 62-test career but it is his enthusiasm to be involved in all aspects of the club that has impressed us the most".

From a juniors perspective, Junior's Chairman Miles Boak said "It's exciting for the club as whole to have a player of Chris's caliber turning out for NCGCC. For the Juniors especially having someone who has done it all in cricket at your club is very special and we look forward to his involvement in some junior activities during the year".

Sat 11th Dec 2010 - All Games Cancelled Due to Hosing

All ACT Government grounds are closed today and tomorrow, however at this stage Sport & Rec anticipate leaving them open for the weekend and allowing each individual sport to determine what transpires on the weekend. Only a limited number of grounds have been mown, however of course it is the preparation of turf wickets which is the issue, as all grounds are closed today and tomorrow , it leaves no time to prepare a wicket for Saturday anyway.

Therefore all One Day Matches in First - Fifth Grade are cancelled this Saturday with each team to receive two points each.

Congratulations to Louis Rutzou!

Northies rising star Louis Rutzou has been selected to represent the ACT at the upcoming under 17 male national championships. This year's carnival will be held in Hobart from January 9 to 20. Well Done Louis!

Weekend Review - Rain thwarts Northies Bluewash

Saturday, 30th October, 2010

Late rain has denied the Bald Eagles an opportunity to chase down Queanbeyan's total at Freedbody. Michael 'Novacastrian' Kaminksi was the destroyer with the ball helping restrict Queanbeyan to 140 before rain stopped play with the Bald Eagles at 1/30. At Forestry the Golden Eagles encountered a red hot Eastlake side who finished 6/329 off their 40 overs before rain forced the game to be abandoned before the talented young Golden Eagles batting line up could show their skills.

At ANU North, a fluent half century by Pete 'Radders' Radford helped establish a 134 run lead over ANU, before five wickets to Heath 'Axe' Axelby on a crumbling wicket helped set up an outright victory. While at KT Park a clinical all-round performance helped the 2's record a comprehensive outright victory, having declared 269 runs ahead courtesy of a half century to Gordon 'G' McGurk. Charlie 'Chook' Eichholzer and Ryan 'The Business' Bissell led the way with the ball to bowl out ANU for 110.

In 3's a classy maiden grade ton by talented youngster Liam Greenwood was the highlight of a solid victory at ANU south. While Steve 'Google' Moore led the way in 4's with 4/39 to wrap up what was a positive weekend for the blue and gold.

For a summary of the weekend's scores check out the results page here.
