We have been working on a number of projects in the off-season that some may be aware of. These include three new batting nets on the south side of the oval, recruiting the services of off spinner Rob Travers from Glastonbury England and the possible return of some former players to the club.

In May this year, Cricket Victoria agreed to fund $2800.00 towards the building of new batting nets that will be erected between the south end goals and the scoreboard. The facility will be similar to Bundalaguahs with three bays, soft netting and rubber landing zones for the bowlers. Part of the fence will be taken down in the cricket season to use the oval for the bowlers run ups. Thanks to everyone who helped out pulling down the old nets last Saturday.

 In February this year, Rob Travers contacted me through our web site in the hope of playing this season. After a few phone calls to some former Stratford players, we have decided to give him a go. Rob will be coaching the under 14s and will be available for private lessons. You can see how he is performing by going to     www.glastonbury.play-cricket.com

Below is some information he sent me about himself.

Rob Travers -23 years old, 6'3", and 95kg.  I live in Street, Somerset, a large village of about 12,000 people.  It is a mile away from Glastonbury, where I play my club cricket.

I am an off-spinning all-rounder - I have played county age group cricket for Somerset from u11s all the way through to u19s.  I have also represented Somerset Cricket Board, effectively the county's best amateur side.  From 1998-2000 I attended the Somerset County Cricket Club Academy.

I have been at Glastonbury CC for five years, in which time we have won three promotions and we are now in the West of England Premier Division, against players such as Greg Brown and Tom Hankins (believe you know these guys).  Also, after 6 games this year we are in second place, trying to chase down Bath CC!!!

I am a qualified coach to level one, but have a good amount of experience, having been employed as Youth Coach for Bedminster CC while at university and as well as coaching for local sports groups on a regular basis.  I currently coach kids part-time in two schools, ages ranging from 7 - 11.

 The club will also provide accommodation, part time work and help him in the purchase of a car. If anyone can assist us in these areas please contact the club.
