Well, it's hard to belive that our inaugural season has come and gone, as it only seems like a few weeks ago we were preparing for our first match under the maroon, blue & gold of the newly formed Manly Breakers Cricket Club.

From that inaugural match against Dee Why RSL way back in that first week of October (who would ever forget it...), when we scored a mere 4 runs shy of 300 and lost by only 2, there seemed to be a quiet air of confidence in how our season would pan out. However, our season did turn out to be somewhat frustrating at times, what with two forfeits and a washout - one would think that's about six weeks of cricket denied.

However, to turn around those setbacks and use that time for practice, either "Six-a-side" match or just some centre wicket practice shows the enthusiasm, which was always encouraged in our club.

To all the award winners, well done and thank you for your efforts, which see you worthy receipants of your awards. (We'll exclude those novelty awards here...) We definately fared well in the bolwing department this year, with a few bowlers in contention. Commiserations to those who missed out - however, your efforts throughout the season did not go unnoticed.

I'm sure for those of us that played we did enjoy our season, and perhaps if not, then use it as a learning experience to do better in the 2001/02 season. Which, I might add, will soon be upon us...!
