RM Hatch is a high standard prestigious competition conducted by the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association in the month of January for cricketers at the under 15 level. It is an invaluable learning experience for a young cricketer to play in this competition on turf pitches at the grounds used by 1st XI teams of the Sub-District competition. All 28 Sub-District teams field a side and some of the best cricketers in the metropolitan area and also some from country areas participate. Balwyn Cricket club extends an invitation to any young cricketer to attend our special training sessions and vie for selection in the final squad. Further relevant information is set out hereunder: | Eligibility | Players must be under the age of 15 years at 1 September 2009. | | Ability | All players, irrespective of ability, are welcome to attend training. However, all should be aware that RM Hatch is a high standard competition and the final squad will be selected on ability. The standard of the squad can vary considerably from year to year. We suggest young players, if they are in doubt, attend training and judge for themselves whether their skill levels are comparable to those of other players at the training sessions. | | Matches | First match is on 11 January 2010. The competition runs for two weeks. | | Training | The first training session will be held on Sunday 4 October 2009 from 9.30am till 12.30pm at Balwyn Park, Cherry Road, Balwyn.

Further details will be advised. | | Our Aims | First and foremost we want the players to enjoy playing in the RM Hatch Competition. We want them to learn from the experience and improve their cricket skills. We would like them to be part of a competitive team. Whilst it is good experience for the players to play in a winning team, winning matches at all costs is not our objective. We would like players to play the game in a proper spirit of sportsmanship and to enjoy themselves in the process. | | What we offer | Balwyn Cricket Club has excellent training (turf and carpet practice pitches) and match facilities. We offer sensible, intelligent and supportive coaching from experienced and qualified coaches and senior players. Transport to and from games can be arranged and all reasonable endeavours will be made to minimise disruption to family holidays. Our aim is to give every player a "fair go" and a chance to perform. However, we will not pursue this to extremes to the detriment of the more talented players. | | Contact | For any further information, please contact our RM Hatch Co-Ordinator, John Farmer on 8786 3667 or 0412 841 634. |
