Where you are Playing?

There are 2 ways to find out where you are playing:

At the Club
Coming to the club to see the selection board that is placed in the club room window. You can view the board from outside, so you do not need access to the clubroom. Note that selectors may make changes on this board until 5pm on the Friday before the pennant game without advising you.

Text Message
Selectors will text all members with selection details. Ensure that your number is know to your selector to receive messages. Further communication avenues are under discussion, so stay tuned.

*It is each players responsibility to ensure they know where they are playing right up until 5pm on the Friday before the pennant game. After 5pm on the Friday before the pennant game, if any player movements are made, the Selector will contact you.

Notification of Unavailability for Pennant Games

Selectors have a difficult job juggling players in sides after a player makes themselves unavailable particularly after selection has been done, even worse if on the morning of the game.

To reduce issues and inconvenience to players due to last-minute changes in where they play, please follow the instructions below.

Unavailability Sheets

If you know you will not be available for games on certain dates, please ensure you note this on the unavailability sheets which are on the notice board.

There is one for Saturday pennants and one for Wednesday pennants.

If you become available on a date that you marked as being unavailable, please update the unavailability sheet or call a selector.

Last Minute Unavailability

As soon as you are aware that you cannot play a game where you are noted as available on unavailability sheet, then you must contact a selector immediately.

Note that it is your responsibility to do this and ensure a selector is notified, not just tell someone else and expect a selector to be notified.

The selectors need time to contact players and for the player to make arrangement to play at alternative venue. The more time you give them, the better for everyone.

“Play must not proceed in any capacity if the temperature reaches 38 degrees Celsius or more on the
