25.01.2022 Only two more weeks to our Presentation Night. We are getting reasonable numbers but still waiting on some families to let us know whether that are coming and how many. Look forward to catching up with everyone and celebrating the season gone.

25.01.2022 Hi all, thank you to all those who were able to turn up last night to discuss the future direction of the club. I think it is exciting that West will be taking a different approach from the other clubs by contracting a mature age coach with considerable experience. This ensures the club improves as a unit rather than some of our good juniors making way for overseas players who may be gone the following year. For those who could not attend, the successful applicant was Sean R...oodt, who has played first class cricket in South Africa as a player and captain. He has also played club cricket in Australia in the WA suburban turf cricket comp (would be a higher standard than GCA given there is a greater volume of players) and England. Most recently in 2011 where he was the playing coach for Burbage & Eastern Royals who compete in the West England Premier Cricket League. Sean has been a cricket coach at John Vorster High School, and run and owned various cricket academies in South Africa. He has coached the Swaziland International U19 World Cup qualifying team (they compete against the other African nations prior to the World Cup). He also coached Marchant de Lange as a junior who went on to play for South Africa in test, 1 day and T20 cricket. I spoke to Sean earlier to let him know that the club was keen to trial this concept. I let him know that the club would draw up an agreement (the committee will get together for this) for both parties to sign to ensure there were clear expectations from both sides. I also asked him some questions that were raised on night. For your info Sean sees this as a long term proposition for it to work. Small improvements the first year but then exponentially going forward. He is keen to get to Australia and help our club and may be here prior to the season starting (all dependent on visas and paperwork etc). He is keen to work with the u17s and if here prior to the season starting may run a winter program or two as a way of trying to recruit more boys to the club. He also advised that he would be available most nights of the week for those keen on small group training for personal improvement. Finally Sean would like to bring his sons out for the cricket this season if able. If this comes off it will also help with our junior program and his connection with the club. Thanks again to those involved last night and go West. Colac West CC Committee

25.01.2022 Lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with CA and Renegades coach Tim Coyle earlier this year. Below is an example of his recommendation on how to practice sliding catches. Who knew training could be fun. Great focus on the ball Lucas!!

24.01.2022 Hi All, friendly reminder it is that time of year again when Colac West run their major fund raiser the Reverse Raffle. Tickets cost $50 and only 80 tickets have been printed.

Please ask your coach for a ticket at training or post a request. Hope you can all come and enjoy the evening. Thanks Colac West CC Committee.

21.01.2022 How exiting is this. For those involved in CDCA Girls cricket last season, we saw how well it was received. Colac West hope to field a side again next season and now with clear pathways for the girls the sport of cricket can be even more attractive to those who love the sport. Anyone interested in playing a part in the CDCA womens team please indicate expressions of interest and we will put your name before the association and hopefully field a team in the inaugural season. Thank you COLAC West CC Committee

03.01.2022 Good news guys, as of 11:59pm Wednesday 16th we have been allowed to resume outdoor non-contact sport in groups of up to 10 people. This has now been confirmed to include cricket. This does not include club coordinated training sessions and is no way sanctioned by the club until such time as the club can obtain an approved COVID safe plan (we have received a template late this afternoon from Cricket Victoria that Nathan Barnden and I will look to customise tomorrow). The CDC...A board has pencilled in a start date to the competition of 23/24 October so we encourage you to comply with the rules and enjoy each other’s company getting ready for the coming season. Good luck guys and we will continue to update you as more is revealed. Colac West CC Committee.
