Unfortunately, the 2020 GPS Cricket season came to a premature end last week with the GPS committee announcing the cancellation of all Term 1 sport in the wake of the threat posed by COVID-19. The Terrace Cricket program supports this stance as it was made in line with guidance received from the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) and directives from Cricket Australia.
 
At this point, we will be awaiting further information as to how the co-curricular program will continue this year, along with a decision on the final standing of the 1st XI competition for season 2020.
 
Fortunately for Cricket, the program was able to complete the majority of its season including the Term 4 preseason program, holiday clinics, tours to Perth and Adelaide. We were also able to compete in the Christian Brothers Cricket Week competition and seven of the eight rounds of GPS Cricket. While this season will likely be remembered for the way in which it has concluded, it should be celebrated for another great year in which overs 530 students were given fantastic cricketing opportunities.
 
My hope is that we will be able to continue the regular Cricket season come Term 4, including our domestic tours in December. However, given the changing landscape of the current situation, this is obviously dependant on what occurs in the coming months.
 
I want to express my thanks to all who are involved in the Terrace Cricket program, including students, staff, coaches, managers, the Cricket Support Group, the team in the Sport Office and the CLT.
 
Lastly, I hope that all of you stay safe and remain vigilant during this uncertain time.
 
Thank you again for your participation and support of the Terrace Cricket program. There will be updates in the coming months regarding the Term 4 program and beyond.
