Port Campbell Cricket Club
Established 25 January 1879
This page will provide brief comments about our games as we haul ourselves through the 2014/15 season. (And while we'll try our best to keep things as close to the truth here as we can, like most other things on this site, don't expect too much expert analysis.)
The first round of SWCA's 2014/15 Reid Stockfeed Division Two Cricket Season got underway on Saturday 18th October, with ten clubs angling for the season's bragging rights. Round 1 saw Princetown (hm) take on Boorcan, Camperdown (hm) play Heytesbury, Mortlake (hm) play Cobden, Woorndoo (hm) come up against Ecklin and the Port Swannies take on Bookaar.
Unfortunately, Bookaar forfeited the match, so Port took home the chocolates without a ball being bowled.
And while that's not the ideal way to take a win (nobody wants to see any team have to forfeit a game), it's a win. So, Port go 1 from 1 and, to celebrate, we've loaded up a 'Track of the Week' for you to enjoy. (Baseline Kickin', from the Pegboard Nerds)
To help celebrate Port's first points of the season, we suggest you grab a coldie, turn your volume to 'LOUD' and click on the little black arrow below...

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS:
1. Mr. Cook... comes away from the match with the first duck of his career. And, if you're into ducks, why do things in halves? If you're going to get a duck, why not make it a Golden? Well done, Cooky.
2. Dingo. As a keeper he makes an exceptional bowler, or maybe batsman. He's well known for wearing that black, ratty, stinking helmet when he bats, so you'd think he may choose to wear it when he's keeping - and in particular when he's standing up to Wocka's potentially wild and erratic bowling. But, no. So, he cops one of Wocka's balls right on his kisser, which ends up with Dingo growing a golf-ball sized lump on his jaw. It swelled, and swelled and grew to the point that the vets in the team started to reach for their vet kit-bags, to drain the lump's face-ooze-puss liquid juice, after it sprang to life. In fact, it looked like one of those egg-sack things from the Alien movies, from back in the 80s and 90s.
3. Chucky. He learnt that when you're into your 4th decade of life, what was once thought of as 'natural running pace' maybe doesn't come quite so naturally anymore.
4. Finally, Simon. "I'll be f___kn aching for a month, after this" ... However, the old guy went OK. We'll leave it at that.
