RH Batsman, RA Medium-Fast. LCC Career Stats: 36 matches, 9 catches. 384 runs @ 13.71, HS 71*. 29 wickets @ 24.48, BB 3-27. Tony is a gifted all-rounder who was starved of opportunities last season but, as Sunday League Bowling award (and nearly Batting award) winner in 2007/08, he could not cement a regular place in the batting or bowling line-ups. Tony is a medium-pace bowler who can get the ball to rise off a good length, and with the bat hits the ball straight and hard. He also has a very strong throwing arm and batsmen need to be wary. The key to Tony having a positive season in 2009/10 will be concentration on improving his consistency and technique, along with acting on the advice of his coaches. Should he do this, Tony has a bright future.

RH Batsman, RA Medium. LCC Career Stats: 60 matches, 13 catches. 289 runs @ 6.72, HS 25. 34 wickets @ 13.79, BB 5-15. Kodie was a massive improver last season, going from a fringe Sunday League player to performing well in several 2nd Grade games. He is a deceptive medium-pacer, able to move the ball around and was particularly effective as a "death" bowler in one-day matches. With the bat Kodie's technique and footwork continues to improve, and he made his highest score in the Sunday League Grand Final of last season. With greater self-belief Kodie should perform even better this season and cement a place in the 2nd Grad side.

RH Batsman, Wicket-Keeper. LCC Career Stats: 98 matches, 77 catches, 6 stumpings. 1560 runs @ 18.14, HS 97. 14 wickets @ 27.50, BB 4-40. Clarke has played plenty of cricket for someone who is still only 19. He is a talented top/middle-order batsman able to play shots on either side of the wicket and is a great judge of a quick single. A fantastic athlete, Clarke is equally as comfortable in the field as he is behind the stumps. A young player with a great feel for the game, Clarke is a future leader at Latrobe and will be looking to build on the improved form with the bat that he demonstrated at the end of last season.

RH Batsman, RA Fast-Medium. Selwyn has recently joined the club.  As an experienced cricketer we welcome him with open arms and wish him well for the season.

RH Batsman, RA Off-spin. LCC Career Stats: 53 matches, 11 catches. 379 runs @ 9.97, HS 42 not out. 52 wickets @ 11.48, BB 5-11. Donohue rejoined the club in the second half of last season, becoming a key player in the Sunday League side. His off-spin bowling is deadly accurate and he possesses a good arm ball, surprising Devonport by opening the bowling in the Sunday League Grand Final. In the field he has a good pair of hands and can score quick runs in the middle-to-late order batting positions. With increased opportunity and training Donohue will make an even bigger impression this season.

RH Batsman, RA Medium.

LCC Career Stats: 37 matches, 22 catches.

28 wickets @ 15.46, BB 4-13.

Gossy has spent a couple of seasons in the Junior Colts team and established himself as a highly accomplished all-rounder. He has always had attacking flair as a batsman, but last season really started to tighten up defensively and is increasingly difficult to dismiss. With the ball Gossy is a consistent medium-pacer and can be relied upon to do a job for his captain. Now too old for Junior Colts, the challenge this year is for Goss to break into a strong 2nd Grade team and make the most of his opportunities. I'm backing this young man to be a big improver this season.

RH Batsman; RA Medium.

Father of Brandon, Grant has elected to take the field this year to play some matches with his son.  Good luck Gossy!

RH Batsman; RA Off-Spin.  LCC Career Stats: 9 matches, 3 catches.  147 runs @ 21.00, HS 48.  10 wickets @21.50, BB 2-19.

Club President Shayne Keep is donning the whites again this season to help increase the experience of our Sunday League side.  He offers skills in both batting and bowling that will help the team remain competitive.  Good luck Shaymo!

LH Batsman, RA Slow-Medium. LCC Career Stats: 88 matches, 76 catches, 14 stumpings. 1364 runs @ 17.27, HS 78. 7 wickets @ 23.57, BB 2-22. Foo returned to the field last season after nearly a decade away and was an important player in the middle and late-season improvements in the club's batting. A determined batsman who puts great pride in his wicket, Nicolle worked well with his younger team-mates and was a part of several key partnerships. If you asked Foo he would say he was under-bowled, but a man of his immense talent with the ball is best used as a partnership-breaker. This season Nicolle will be looking to be a rock in the batting line-up and once again set the example for his younger team-mates.

LH Batsman; Wicket-Keeper. LCC A-Grade Player 123.

Ray was a member of last year's Tasmanian Over-60's team and is a life member of Latrobe Cricket Club.  A doggedly determined left-hand batsman and skillful wicket-keeper, Ray is keen to play a few Sunday League matches to aid in his preparation for another shot at Tasmanian Over-60's representation. Good luck Ray!

LH Batsman; Wicket-Keeper. LCC Career Stats: 58 matches, 56 catches, 14 stumpings.  913 runs @ 14.27, HS 96.  1 wicket @ 16.00, BB 1-10.

Scooter returns to Latrobe this season having returned to the area after working in Hobart for two years.  He is an aggressive top-order batsman known to punish anything short or wide, and an excellent keeper, particularly when standing up to the stumps.  There is no doubt Scooter will help to stabilise the top order in 2nd Grade, and may even push for 1st Grade honours again.

RH Batsman, RA Fast-Medium. LCC Career Stats: 42 matches, 7 catches. 158 runs @ 6.58, HS 24. 23 wickets @ 25.09, BB 3-25. I don't mean to brag but this time last year I tipped Josh to be the big improver of the season, and I was right! Squibb (son of David) emerged as new-ball bowler and hard-hitting lower-order batsman in 2nd Grade, his good performances earning him a place in 2nd Grade's Semi-Final team. A tall young man, Squibb regularly hits the seam, able to get the ball to jump and cut batsmen in half with prodigious swing. As he fills out Josh will get more pace and consistency from his action - batsmen beware! With application to following the advice of his coaches and further improving his technique with bat and ball Josh has another good year ahead.

LH Batsman, RA Off-spin, Wicket-Keeper. LCC Career Stats: 30 matches, 6 catches, 1 stumping. 98 runs @ 5.76, HS 24. 3 wickets @ 13.00, BB 2-18. Despite being only 13, Squibb (son of David) has been around the club for a long time. He is a talented all-round cricketer, being a developing batsman, good wicket-keeper and accomplished fieldsman. With several players unavailable for 2nd Grade on occasions, he got a taste of 2nd Grade and quickly demonstrated he had no fear, getting in behind the ball when batting and playing his part in lower-order partnerships. He also got invaluable experience by playing in the Sunday League team regularly, including the Grand Final. Sam should now be looking to establish himself at the top of the order in Junior Colts/Sunday League, bat as often and for as long as he can, and surely this determined young man will have a great year.
