Hi all
The season is but finished. Club awards night on
Saturday 27th April, association awards night on
Saturday 4th May and the club’s AGM will see our
inaugural year completely wrapped up.
Well done to all in making sure we fielded
competitive sides in all grades during the season. To
those players who missed out playing games in
certain rounds because there were too many
players to choose from thanks for not complaining
too much about your non-selection. The committee
is also very appreciative to all who completed the
survey that Xavier assembled and circulated.
Congratulations to our sides that made the finals this
year. It is always a special time to participate in
these games. Unfortunately the F graders didn’t
experience any wins in these games this year after
reaching both the one day GF and semi-finals for
the combined competition. The one day league
boys had mixed results that saw them missing out on
making the Grand Final but it should be sufficient
incentive to keep most of them coming back next
year to try and make sure they finally reach the
pinnacle of their careers.
It was a pleasure to be able to witness the victory of
our C grade side when they defeated Wanneroo at
the Showgrounds. It was also a great moment to
swing past Edgewater theweek before to see the
side and our supporters who had turned out in force
celebrating theirsemi-final win including many
members of the vanquished F grade side.
The level of support shown at both these matches is
the true reflection as to how well the clubs have
merged together this year. For the C graders to pull
off the win in such nail biting circumstances was
the just desserts/icing on the cake. It was also fitting
that they could celebrate this victory on the same
day that the Warwick Greenwood Juniors held their
presentation
day
back
at
Penistone
Reserve/clubrooms. Well done to Scott and his
team in winning the first premiership flag for
Warwick Greenwood Senior Cricket Club –
stalwarts from both clubs contributed to the
success of this side as well as being ably supported
by Michael Moses who was playing his first year of
senior cricket.
I encourage as many as possible to attend the
club’s award night on Saturday 27th April.
Thank you to all who have made sure that this year
has gone as well as it has\. We look forward to
making sure that next year is even better.

THE REDS REVIEW
SEASON
WRAP UP
A Grade
One Day – 8th (1 win, 6 losses)
Two Day – 8th (2 W1, 11 L1 & 1 L2 losses)
A tough year but lots of youngsters blooded.
Times like this make us harder and tougher and
I’m sure the boys will all have big hearts next
year and stick with it.
C Grade
SEASON
WRAP UP CONT.
One Day League
2nd – 10 wins, 4 losses and 2 byes
A great year for the boys finishing 2nd on the
ladder after the minor rounds. Unfortunately we
couldn’t get over the line in the finals getting
knocked out in the Prelim by the eventual
Premiers. Some outstanding efforts this year with
the bat and ball. Look forward to a big
2013/2014!!!
One Day – 4th (8 W1, 1 D, 5 L1)
NEWS OF THE MONTH
Two Day – 4th (3 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses)
Well this is an easy one!!! The news of the month
for our final newsletter this season is that C Grade
are Premiers for season 2012/2013!!!!!!!!
A great season culminating in the Premiership in
Two Day cricket! Well done boys!!!
D Grade
One Day – 6th(2 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses)
Two Day – 8th (4 W1, 1 draw, 9 L1)
Lots of young players blooded even as young as
14 which will hold the club in good stead next
season and beyond.
F Grade
One Day – 2nd (4 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses)
Two Day – 3rd (2 W2, 5 W1,1 draw, 5 L1, 1 L2)
Successful season, bring on next year to go one
step further!!!
H Grade
One Day –6th (3 wins, 4 losses)
Two Day – 6th(1 W2, 4 W1, 8 L1)
H Grade had some ups and downs this year with
us beating some strong teams and then getting
beaten by teams that we should have walked
over. Some extremely impressive batting from
Shahid & Jamal and outstanding bowling from
Nazza.
Great win by the boys!! In their first final it was 1 vs
4 when our boys took on the might of Edgewater
and beat the cocky bastards!! The old saying of
don’t count your chickens before theyre hatched
was pertinent here as Edgewater had
guaranteed themselves a place in the Grand
Final…unfortnatey for them they ended up
scratching their balls come Gradn Final
weekend….so sad.
In the Grand Final it was our mighty warriors up
against Wanneroo at their home ground. After a
great start rolling Wanneroo for 100 our boys
were 1/39 at stumps with Higgers and Moses
batting beautifully for the last hour and half. Some
spectators thought it would be a mere formality
the next day but our boys knew they would have
to fight to the end……and it was so. What a
battle!!! At one stage we were 5 for 60, 6 for 64, 7
for 73, 8 for 83 and 9 for 95. However we were
always a chance with the cool head of Tully at
the crease. It was fitting that at the end he was
batting with his brother who has been the bowling
hero all season when he hit the winning runs.
What an unbelievable feeling for the boys and
their supporters.
A big thankyou to all those that came down over
the finals and supported the boys.
C Grade – Premiers 2012/13 Yeeeeeehhhaaaaa!!

THE REDS REVIEW
THE PHANTOMS COLUMN
THE PHANTOMS COLUMN
Hello Avid Readers,
It's my time again to have a look at some of the
more colourful characters that are playing at this
fine club.
The cricketer in my sights this month is a
veritable rock star and demi god in this club. A
man that can bamboozle batters and maidens
alike.
It's the Sicoe himself, Simon Coe.
Fairly new to this club Simon has become one of
us even though he is a Pom. The club has
welcomed him in even though he has moths in
his wallet and hasn’t had a shower in a week,
and even when he did he shared the water with
8 other Poms!
One of the most under rated bowlers in the club,
Simon cops plenty from the higher graded
players about his bowling….they promptly shut
up though when he gets them out!!! Has a full
list of balls he can choose from, he has been
collecting them from all the clubs he has played
for over his many years.
Has had stints at clubs in England – the mother
country, Ireland where all the drunks play, has
toured Brazil, Lima and Peru teaching
Mongolian warriors the nuances of the sport and
then landed in sunny Australia. First called
Canberra home before realising even us
Aussies think Canberra is gods arsehole end of
the earth before settling in gods own country –
Perth Western Australia.
Very impressive on the dance floor and can
show the younger generations how to bust a
move. However don’t get in his way as he gets a
very serious look on his face when he is
dancing….he is either concentrating really hard
or is trying to fart out the Black pudding he had
hours earlier!!
A solid trainer who loves running laps Simon
always looks awkward taking a catch but
always seems to hold them; it must be all
those English mints he got from his mate
Simon Jones!
Known to win bar awards in his first year at
Greenwood, Sicoe loves a Coopers Pale Ale.
Sicoe was most disappointed his mate Puma
didn’t win the bar award, however with the
money they both put over the bar the club
was able to purchase 3 beachside mansions
on the Gold Coast!!!
Known to the ladies as a Rock Demi god,
Rod Stewart constantly rings Sicoe for tips
and hints on how to handle himself around
the female variety.
The one the only – Simon Destroyer Coe.
