Proserpine Junior Cricket Preseason In Gear

Although we are still in the middle of our winter sport season, last week we saw the keenest of our young cricketers roll their arms over.

Proserpine Cricket is excited to announce its first full season of pre-season High Performance being run in Proserpine by Tom McFarlene from Mackay Whitsunday Cricket.

The boys participate in these sessions every Monday afternoon, whereas previously the club’s elite players have had to travel to Mackay for these sessions.

Last week also saw school cricket programs ramp up.

Proserpine District school trials were held for U12 school boys who will now train for a couple of weeks before the Whitsunday Trials on August 4.

In high school, Round One of the Street Smart T20 comp took place, with Bowen State High victorious playing against St Catherine's in the senior comp, while Proserpine State High went straight through to the next round, unopposed.  

Bowen and Proserpine will now travel to Mackay to take on the winners of their zones on August 8.

The girls will have a free, preseason girl-only program starting on August 22 and culminating in a girls gala day in the school holidays.

The Proserpine Junior Cricket Association’s Annual General Meeting was held on July 24, with a great turn out of members.

The AGM reflected on the club’s successful previous season and saw the farewell of outgoing members.

Shane Knight, after holding the President position for five years and being an active and integral part of the Club, resigned from his position.  

The meeting also saw the voting in of the new committee for the 2022-23 season welcoming Mark Valmadre (President), Michael Hope (Vice President), Dannielle Green (Secretary), and Jess Hope (Treasurer).

The Club thanks the previous committee, coaches and volunteers for their hard work throughout last season
