Other news
1. Debut of Cade Park
On Saturday, in the Rookies, Cade continued a long line of the Park family to represent the Mackie Cricket Club. Cade is the 6th member of his family over 3 generations to play at our club.
His grandfather John “Jumbo” Park is a club and SECA legend. His grandparents John and Pam, his father, Craig, his Uncle Dale, and cousin Baden have all played senior cricket at Mackie whilst Pam’s brother Vic also played at Mackie with over 250 games. Both Dale and Craig have played over 300 games and Jumbo over 350 games.
Congratulations to Cade and we hope he has a long and successful career like the rest of the family.

2. Jamie Jeffery – 300 games this Sunday


On this Sunday, at Mackie starting at 12.30 pm, club stalwart Jamie Jeffery will play his 300th game which is a fantastic achievement. Jamie’s 300th game will be with our Vets’ team. It would be great if you would like to come to Mackie and support him in his milestone game. The club is supporting the game with an open canteen and BBQ.

3. Mackie Lotto
Last Saturday was the first week of our final 5 game block before Christmas. As there are 4 weeks still to go and we have several numbers still available, you can purchase a number at the discounted rate of $8 per number.

Hope you are all well.
Cheers
