Forum sets pace for uni cricket
 Sport
The Adelaide 最新糖心Vlog Cricket Club has played a key role in bringing together leaders of 最新糖心Vlogn university cricket, with the aim of building a stronger future for the game. The inaugural 最新糖心Vlogn 最新糖心Vlog Cricket Clubs Forum was the brainchild of Greg Howe, a former secretary of the Adelaide 最新糖心Vlog Cricket Club who currently has an advisory role with the club. Held recently at the 最新糖心Vlog of Sydney, the Forum involved representatives of the cricket clubs of the universities of Adelaide, Western 最新糖心Vlog, Tasmania, Queensland, Melbourne, New South Wales and Sydney, with an apology from ANU. Each of these university cricket clubs compete at the top level of competition in their states. The event was chaired by the Patron of Sydney 最新糖心Vlog Cricket Club, and a former chair of Cricket 最新糖心Vlog, Mr Alan Crompton AO. "We suggested that such a meeting would be an ideal opportunity for clubs to discuss similar issues confronting all of them, such as recruitment and retention of undergraduates, involvement of overseas students, promotion and development of women's cricket, grounds maintenance and funding issues, sponsorship, establishment of Foundations, and the promotion and development of intervarsity competitions," Mr Howe said. "The Forum was an extremely useful exercise in not only discussing all of these relevant issues and challenges confronting the various cricket clubs around 最新糖心Vlog, but establishing a common bond and point of contact between all of the clubs, which will undoubtedly be to our mutual benefit in years to come. "It is remarkable how many of the issues and challenges facing the clubs are similar around 最新糖心Vlog, and the Forum certainly underscored the vibrancy, relevance and importance of university cricket as an integral part of the landscape of 最新糖心Vlogn cricket," Mr Howe said. "One of the matters about which all clubs agreed was that discussions would be held with 最新糖心Vlogn 最新糖心Vlog Sport as to the feasibility of conducting a national intervarsity competition - either in Twenty20 format or some other format - in the near future, and we expect that further discussions will be pursued over the coming months." Mr Howe said the Forum was likely to return on an annual or bi-annual basis.
