an update on oLivia rowntree U17s State Team At the end of 2013, Olivia was selected into the Talented Athlete Program at Narrabeen Academy where she received valuable coaching tips in preparation of State Trials. Olivia performed extremely well at the Narrabeen Camp. On the weekend of Saturday 9 & Sunday 10 November she participated in Phase I of the NSW State Team U17s trials which was a daunting weekend of heat & strong games. Olivia again performed really well & was selected to Phase II on Sunday 24 November. This was another really tough weekend with highly talented players. Olivia played & trained really well over that weekend & was selected to move to the training weekend on Sunday 8 December. This was physically & mentally demanding as the heat was oppressive & the squad was put through a tough & physical fitness & training session. At the conclusion of that session all players were provided with a summer schedule with targets to make for fitness testing on Saturday 25 January. If the players did not pass the fitness test they were ineligible to remain in the State Squad. At the time of writing this report, the NSW U17 State Team has not been named & we will provide a further update in the next Capers Report on how Olivia fared. coach of The year – varshini pillay important dates Easter 18th – 20th April School Holidays 12th – 28th April Competition commences Saturday 26th April with a March Past No play dates 7th June Queens Birthday weekend (Snr State Champs at Campbelltown) 28th June School Holidays & (State Age Championships Illawarra) 5th July School Holidays Semi Finals Saturday 30th August Finals Saturday 6th September 2015 Rep Selections Sunday 7th September Grand Finals Saturday 13th September Keep 20th September as alternate date in case of wet weather Presentation Night Friday 31st October at Diggers Club Registration 5.30pm-7.30pm Presentation commences at 8pm If you have any enquiries about playing, coaching or umpiring; contact Tracie Hanson on 0433 678 754 or traciehanson@hotmail.com.au Jennie Webster Club President gold award – eliana isaia Cabra-Vale Diggers Darts Club Monday Night Darts all members are invited to compete in our darts competition, which is held each Monday night commencing at 8pm. come & enjoy yourself with lots of fun and great prizes. under 9s – alisha ali – bronze award Thanks for your cooperation, Secretary junior uMpire of The year – Teneille wilcock cabravale.com Autumn 2014 41
