Man of many talents and one of the hardest working members of the Ranger family Brendon French celebrated his birthday over the past few days. From what I can surmise it was a cracker with watching a bit of under 12 cricket. To cap it off his son’s team took the flag for season 2014/15. A great effort by all. On another birthday note “DJ” Sarah Iwanuch celebrated her birthday in the past week too. Hope you had a great time from all of us in the Ranger family.

     No not that kind of runs. Cricket runs. See the hardworking multi-talented Mark “The D-rage” Drage showed he is just as adapt swinging the willow as he is swinging maple. His side has had a tough year, but in the last few weeks something has clicked and Dragey has been a big part of it. Let’s hope he continues into the coming winter baseball season.

Only three weeks to go before the Cods swim south to Ballarat for the Victorian Masters Baseball championships. Due to a long weekend, the men did not get to go through their paces last night, but will raring and ready to go for another run around next Monday night down at Targoora Park. Accommodation is booked and the draw is penciled in. The question was raised in last weeks column, Who is driving Tetsu? Anyone?

     Boston Rob “Buttsy” Seymour is ready and raring to go for the coming baseball year. He has been on the track all nights so far for masters and is shaping to be the x-factor for the Cods. For one thing I wish I could dive around at training as much as he does. More importantly bounce back up fro sliding around would be nice too. I am tipping big things for the Masters from Boston Rob.

     What a great effort to see Ian “Dino” Dinsdale playing 400 club games for his beloved Bruck cricket club. This asks the question. How many games of baseball played as well? He did pass 200 club games during the past season for the Rangers too. Couple with how many rounds of golf has he had? Congratulations Dino on 400 games. A super effort.

     Over the summer time the rooms have received a freshen up care of a couple of working bees to paint the rooms and clean them up. The main driver of the spruce up has been by The great man Kevin Pool. The work he has done for this club over the years is to be commended. So next time you see Kev have a look at his handy work and buy him a drink to say Thanks.

Thanks to all who have put their head in to the club so far. If you know anyone who would like to play bring them down to the club or let Spinner know of their interest. Make sure you check us out at
