PINK STUMPS DAY 2012!

We did find 3 future legends for Pink Stumps Day! Josh Hazlewood from the Sydney Sixes, Angela Reakes is the Commonwealth Bank Shooting Stars (Australian Youth) captain, represents the NSW Breakers and Emma Thompson currently represents Tasmania Women (League, Limited Overs & Twenty20).
Thank you Cricket NSW & KPCC parent Tim Rubin, what a fabulous job you did finding them! See you at The Glade at 12. Our future legends are there between 12-2pm. Bring a chair.

On Saturday the 18th February, Kissing Point Cricket Club will be taking part in the 2nd annual Pink Stumps Day to raise money for the McGrath Foundation. This money will help the McGrath Foundation to train & place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and to increase breast awareness in young women. Pink Stumps Day is an initiative of the McGrath Foundation & 'Cricket Cares' Cricket Australia's community action program.

All KPCC teams, Junior through to Senior & our In2cricket children & parents are encouraged to take part by wearing pink & raising funds. Lets bring a little of the Sydney Pink Test magic to Turramurra & its neighbours.
We have ideas for fundraising on the day. Teams can make cup cakes to sell, there could be on the spot fines for wides,no balls, a dropped catch or a duck, rewards for a 4 or 6, also for each captured wicket. Or you can just collect donations for a great cause from your own team & the opposition.  Our Pink Stumps Day coordinators, Steve Si (Juniors) & Brian Paull (Seniors) will be contacting your team coaches,managers or captains to help with ideas & find something that suits you. There will be a prize for the junior & senior teams that raise the most money.

In the afternoon starting 12 noon, all members & the public are invited to attend the KPCC Pink Stumps Day Match at The Glade Oval, The Glade & Koora Ave, Wahroonga. From 1pm our A Grade team will play Asquith Rugby League CC, using the pink stumps & wicketkeeper pads provided by the Foundation. Bring something comfortable to sit on & relax in beautiful surroundings. The local residents group 'Friends of The Glade' have very kindly offered to have a sausage sizzle, with all proceeds to be donated to the McGrath Foundation. The club will run a cake stall again this year so please get your baking ideas going & see if we can beat last year's terrific effort! We will have a silent auction for the pink stumps, the wicketkeeper pads from the game & any other donations to the cause. If you have a donation we could use for the silent auction please contact Trish Lynch; This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We are looking forward to turning Saturday 18th February PINK, please join with us in making the KPCC Pink Stumps Day a great success.

"KPSC - A History" Book Launch & T20 on 2nd December

Thanks for joining us for the official book launch of
"Kissing Point Sports Club - A History" by John Orlovich.

The invitation included all the sports codes of Kissing Point Sports Club. Cricket, Football, Netball, Baseball & Softball.  We had a very good turnout, the Clubhouse was full of KPSC Life Members, as well as past & present members. Organised by the KPSC Committee, it was terrific that Cricket got to host such an important event in the history of the Sportsclub. "Kissing Point Sports Club - A History" covers the history of the Kissing Point Sports Club from its inception in 1957 to 2011. John Orlovich was happy to sign the book for those who requested it & the line stretched a long way. The Cricket club is well represented in the book with many mentions of players(all premiership winners) past & present. If you would like to purchase a copy please contact Trish Lynch on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The U12 Whites won the T20 under lights, & all were well fed & watered.

Kind regards
The KPCC Committee

The Hornsby Turf Pitch Situation

THE HORNSBY TURF PITCH SITUATION
During the latter part of winter, HK&HDCA has been fighting a battle with Hornsby Shire Council employees and most of its councillors to preserve some of the turf pitches in the Shire.
Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful. It became increasingly obvious that Council officers were unwilling to listen to any compromise, or to give us reasonable time to work through alternatives. Mr Robert Stephens, the Executive Manager, Environment, and Mr Peter Kemp, the Manager Parks and Landscapes, were determined to remove facilities that had been in use by the local cricket community for nearly half a century.

This is the 1st part of an article on the loss of Turf pitches in the Hornsby Shire area & how this affects our Association & Kissing Point. See the rest of the article in our Library.
