Night Cricket

On Tuesday night I wandered down to the Caloundra Cricket Ground to have a look at a 35 over per team night cricket match between the local Brisbane District cricket team (Sunshine Coast Scorchers) and a combined team from the local Sunshine Coast Cricket Association.

The match was washed out eventually with a couple of showers around 8:30. The local association was chasing 196. Needless to say, this was pretty bright batting off just 35 overs.

The Caloundra Cricket Club hosts the evening. It is just an 'ordinary' local cricket club but has access to poker machines. These are great money makers for the local cricket club.

The bar is a fairly reasonable spot to buy a cool stubby on a hot Tuesday night. These facilities are fantastic and funds raised have gone towards the levelling of the ground and rebuilding the drainage etc. New sight Screens have been installed and over $80,000 has been spent on the lighting system.
