Ryan Carters from the new Melbourne Renegades met with participants of Barkly Street Uniting CC’s Dragon Junior Cricket Program at Robert Barrett Reserve near Highpoint Shopping Centre last evening.
Ryan was asked numerous questions at an end of training autograph session with discussion ranging from how to warm up before a game; how to face Chris Tremlett and keep wickets to Shaun Tait and Dirk Nannes without being scared of the ball; fundamentals of wicketkeeping; his ‘Awesome’ cricket moments; places that cricket had taken him… etc…
As part of their program Barkly Street Uniting CC has signed up with the Melbourne Renegades unique community membership initiative where 10 club juniors allows 2 adults to attend T20 games in the Big Bash League based out of Etihad Stadium for free.
Junior Co-ordinator and Good Cricket Allrounder Marcus Curnow said…
“As a multi cultural club in Melbourne’s inner west we are excited to be able to offer Renegades memberships as part of our broader junior cricket program. It assists carers and families to connect with their kids and belong as part of our club, especially for families that don’t have a cricket background or might not have been to a top level game previously”
