Congratulations to Michael Wallace, Ben Hillard, James Wilcock and Dylan Quirk for their recent successes as they all strive towards professional cricket. Having all playing prestigious Southern Ranges cricket, higher honours have come calling with all four of these lads moving onto state youth level cricket and in Dylan`s case Australia youth cricket as in the 2009 – 10 season Dylan toured India with the Australia under 15`s team. Having worked extensively with these four cricketers, be assured their rewards to date have come due to their continued hard work and commitment.

SC Cricket Coaching is delighted to announce the addition of Ben Hillard and Michael Wallace to its coaching staff. Both lads have developed into fine coaches as well as excellent cricketers. It is with great anticipation that they will begin their coaching careers with us. Watch out for Rob Parker throughout the winter. Rob is almost ready to step out on his own as a cricket coach having already completed over 200 hours of coaching alongside other staff members as he learns his trade!!!
