Anglesea Cricket Club<\/a> president Brett Venables said the club had a great community environment with a host of family connections involved, whether it be out on the field, scorers, in administration or even just regulars who come along and support the club on a weekend.<\/p>\n\u201cThey really do follow in their dad\u2019s footsteps, it\u2019s a great aspect of our club,\u201d Venables said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe list goes on of guys who came home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a whole community, the sons of fathers who have been around the club and watched their dads play from a young age.\u201d<\/p>\n
Venables said while it was difficult to put a finger on exactly what it is about the club\u2019s culture that makes it so rich, he felt the equality among the ranks created an environment you wanted to be a part of.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe environment we have around the club (is great), it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re an A-grade player or the last picked in the C-grade team, everyone gets on so well.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt comes down to that mateship that we have at the club, we\u2019re very welcoming to anyone who comes down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anglesea is not only boasting positives off the field, but out in the middle it is at the top of its game.<\/p>\n
In the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association first grade, the Roos sit undefeated on top of the ladder. In the B1 competition it remains in the top two, while the C grade side continues to develop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
