	HOST CLUSTER: Rivers DATES: 16th April - 18th April WHERE: Katherine Town Oval CONVENORS: Bryan Hughes and Greg Black Pre Event Meeting: Friday April 4th @ 3.30pm via teleconference. On Wednesday 16th April Katherine Town Oval will come alive with budding Cricket athletes. We have 12 teams nominated for the event and all players are billeting with families from the Rivers Cluster – how exciting. Girls in cricket are a strong focus this year and we are pleased to include 8 girls in our participating teams. Congratulations and appreciation to Joshua Lonie, a year 11 student at Palmerston High, for taking on the role of Coach for one of the PARCS teams. Good luck at the event to all. CRICKET EXCHANGE PROGRAM BILLETING BOOKLET
DAY 1 The day began with some outstanding displays of teamwork, the willingness of the Team Managers and Coaches to work together and help out with setting up the ovals in readiness for some cricket action contributed to a great day of activities. The number of students participating in coaching and umpiring highlights the development of not just young players, but officials as well. The enthusiasm of all the cricket players was contagious and got everyone excited about the day’s events. The 5 girls in the invitational team strutted their stuff beautifully and contributed to a day 1 win for their team. It was pleasing to note the inclusivity of both indigenous and non indigenous students in all our cricket exchange teams. The day ended with a one run victory to PARCS purple in the 30th over in their game against City Green – action packed!! The Opening Ceremony was a huge success, made possible by the Katherine High Student MC’s. Their enthusiasm, maturity and professionalism were a credit to them and their families. The Ceremony was short, sweet and to the point.	DAY 2 The interaction between all the cricket teams has been fantastic – Katherine kids are great – give them more cricket. Sportsmanship displayed by all players has been outstanding. The Super 8’s competition was a great hit with all budding cricket players having a great time. Billet families from Katherine have been helpful and all cluster students have enjoyed their first two nights stay. Katherine hospitality is exceptional. The standard of cricket being played has been at high level with all games being very close, making for some great spectator action. The memorable moment for Day 2 was the Katherine Council Mowing Squad turning up at the start of the afternoon games to mow the oval – needless to say they enjoyed some cricket instead. They returned at 6pm to complete the job.	DAY 3 Today proved to be another great day in Katherine for some outstanding cricket action. The spirit in which the games were played was outstanding. The town oval was mowed last night and provided some fast bowling and memorable runs. The coaches and managers are to be commended on their teamwork to ensure that the students were the focus of this event. Games today proved to be fast paced and close scoring. Thanks to Tony Stone, coach of Desert Storm Blizzard, in his acknowledgment of the Rivers’ teams for their enthusiasm when playing against stronger teams. The closing ceremony marked the end of a cricket success, with all students sitting on the hill in true cricket style. The presentation was quick and to the point with the interstate squad trying on their kit until 7.15pm. Congratulations to PARCS Purple in Lee’s Legends and Desert Storm Blizzard and PARCS Gold in Roy’s Rebels. FINAL LADDER
