News has it Bon's have applied for planning permission for a new ground... Thoughts?? Scope for more clubs to do similar???

Glad to hear he got a good send off... Unfortunately I was away with work but sent my regards to Matty and the family. I played with and against Danny and he was a great guy on and off the pitch and put a lot of effort into his game and indeed the game its self. A sad loss indeed. BB

Excellent turn out today by many current and former grades and strathie players for Danny.

Good turn out from the grades boys tho. Very sad news indeed, he put a lot of effort into the Grades and Dyce. He will be sadly missed.

Just a note to all grades members former President Danny Cohen died very suddenly last week, his funeral is tomorrow [thursday] at craigiebuckler church springfield road at 12 o'clock.Can't actually believe theres nothing on the website about it. My thoughts are with Matthew and the family at this very sad time.

Happy New Year folks, You have all been invited to the first ever Kemnay Cricket Club Race Night. In preparation for the big 125 year anniversary this coming season we will be hosting the event at Kemnay Bowling Club on Saturday February 11th 2012 at 7pm in order to raise funds for the events planned over the next 9 months. There will be 8 races in the evening. Betting will be winner only BUT there will be a consolation dividend in each race should your horse finish in last place. All other non-returning bets will be placed in a raffle at the end of the night. There will also be the opportunity to purchase other raffle tickets on the night. 40% of the gross money made in each race will go to Kemnay CC, 40% will be split between those with winning tickets and the final 20% will be split between those whose horse finishes in last place. Tables of 6 (5 available), 8 (6 available) and 10 (1 available as our club sponsor Centrifuges Un-Limited and the Kemnay Bowling Club have already pre-booked 2 of these) are on offer on a first come first serve basis so get back me to quickly please (Y). Prices for these tables are £24, £32 and £40 respectively. There are many ways to get involved in the race night such as; Sponsor a race - £10 + a prize for the winner of your race – you also get to name the race. Sponsor a horse - £2 – if your horse wins, you will receive a prize from the race sponsor along with your deserved winnings from the bookie (William Hill’s good friend William Thom Ltd.) – you also get to name the horse. The final race of the evening will be an Auction Race sponsored by myself where people will bid to ‘own’ one of the 8 horses in the race and there will be a special prize on offer to the person whose horse wins. Food will be available on the night as we take a break after race 4 for some little nibbles (the bar will be open until about 12/1am). We are aiming to fill out the Bowling Club (max capacity of 108) as we push for a great start to the New Year so please don’t hesitate i...

Boing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Boing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Boing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like the death knell for cricket in Aberdeen. By hook or by crook they don't want cricket at Duthie Park and a year with no ground maintenance will make it useful only for football - oh what a coincidence. Best of luck to the management committee who now need to pull out all the stops to save the game. They are likely have to put all the energy into finding a solution because sure as heck there won't be much coming from the other side.

So whats going to happen here? Assuming the homeless clubs will be Academy, Caley, Stoneywood Dyce Grades teams, Crescent, Mannofield's Grade 4 side, Portcullis. Have i missed anyone? Are Stewart Park, Links 5 and Woodside going to be able to be used again?

Sorry for the curiosity/nosiness - would it be related to the bad feeling casued by the creation of the regional leagues? Or is another club eyeing the revenue to be gained by hosting the international games?

I didn't hear the piece on Radio Scotland, but did see that it was also reported in The Scotsman. That made me wonder if someone in the central belt was suspected.

From what Ken has been told by the experts, the vandals would have had an understanding of Cricket pitch preparation. This instantly rules out anyone employed by Aberdeen City Council. Even sadder is the fact it will still be the best wicket in the North East even after being vandalised.
