Town C.C Gearing Up For The Season Ahead

The AGM of Syston Town C.C. was held at The Pharmacie Arms at the end of January and was very well attended. Despite the club’s relegation to Division 1 due to a minor clerical error, there was a very positive attitude towards the new season and a determination to make a concerted effort to regain Premier Division status at the earliest possible opportunity. David Fox was once again elected as President and Ivan Spibey will continue as Chairman with Scott Cooper and Chris Pole as joint Vice Chairmen. At long last the club has a Secretary thanks to Sarah Braker volunteering for the position and I will take over as Treasurer from John Fraser who has stood down after doing the job for five years.
After four years in the role, Mo Pardesi decided to stand down as captain of the 1st XI and long serving stalwart, Ram Ghuman (pictured), was elected to fill the post. Adam Mortimer will carry on as 2nd XI captain as well as the vital role of Junior Co-ordinator and Ivan Spibey will continue to captain the Sunday XI. The three Women’s teams, the Sirens, will be managed by Bill Fordham and Andy Woolaston. Andy will also be carrying on as Social Secretary and is already organising a Club Tropicana event for the end of August however, unfortunately ‘the drinks won’t be free!!’
Full contact details for all senior and junior teams will be posted on the club’s website www.systontowncricketclub.co.uk before the season starts as will the outdoor practice nights for all senior and junior teams. New players are always welcome and if you are interested in joining the club just turn up at one of the practice nights or for advice please ring Scott Cooper for seniors on 0797 250 2012, Adam Mortimer regarding juniors on 0779 132 6819 or Andy Woolaston for information about the Sirens on 0785 006 1585.
