Being winter, junior footy has taken over the Darlington oval. Recently the DJFC hosted a parents game following the Junior Darby. The not so junior Lucien De Rooy, pulled on the boots as did the Scribe. Andy Cassell gave it a crack and passed the ball rugby union style on the odd occasion and was not lucky not too be 'pinged' by the forgiving umpires for throwing. Ian Scrimshaw and Steve Beazley showed good form with the Sherrin - with Steve kicking the opening goal inside of a minute from the first bounce-down and Scrimma kicking out accurately from the backs to begin the build ups . Red bras and pink knickers were dished out by the umpires to overzealous players - needless to say none went to DSCC players....
Its been a pretty busy social time for the club lately. This years Annual Dinner was held at Caboose in Glen Forrest hosted by Life member Jude Axon. Captain Lindsay Ernshaw was welcomed into the "Captains Club" after this past season. Special awards this year went to Mitch and Chris Cork who shared honours for Club Members of the Year. Mark Lucas received the "Ton Award" for his century in the Test Match, and Matt Ellis was recognised as the season's best new player. Terry Giles picked up the Bleeding Ball while he also shared the Wood Duck award with ex Scribe Mario Cavallaro. A great job was done by the dinner committee Jeni Di Fillippo, Tracie Lucas, Gill Miller, Kendall Cross, and committee linchpin Bino Di Fillippo and well supported on the club statistical front by Cliff Burns.
For those who may have recently read about the Darlington Social Cricket Club, moved to the area, or who can no longer ignore their desire to shine the Kookaburra and would like to be a part of it, please contact club President Graham Ekert on 0488 511 392 or visit our blog at http://darlingtonsocialcricketclubnews.blogspot.com/p/about-darlington-social-cricket-club.html
The AGM was held on June 18th with several Committee members continuing on and some "new" additions - Ian "Scrimma" Scrimshaw and Craig "Flash" Gordon and Tom " we need a nickname for Tom" Rudas.
Recently a fundraising celebration was held in East Toodyay for a club members grand daughter. There was much celebration with several members elbowing each other out of the way over the punchbowl and fencing with ladles - the host was serving up his famous Brandy Alexanders. Rumours abound about the impact of the hosts special beverages - from people actually snoring whilst walking to their ride home, and some claiming motion sickness as a result of a hair dressing Skippers driving, but these are just rumours after all.
...and finally, Howard Jones asked what it was, 10CC suggested that they weren't in it, and the Beatles believed it was all we needed. What was it?
Sorry no cricket this month.
