Pres & Coach Rant

Updated March 13th, 2009

I get pestered from our webmistress and others about how little I write for this section of the website. The answer I usually give is that the title says "President's Rant" and there just isn't anything to rant about. So when I write a rant without being asked to, you know that I have something to rant about!.....

Golden Thong ...... Z-file

The Golden Thong? How does a humble piece of footwear become a cricket club's trophy awarded for 'Stupidus Uber Alles'? Fire extinguishers, parachutes, pepper spray and donuts. To learn about some of our more memorable off-field action.

HARDYS' M.o.M.

Evan Hitchman picked up his first ever Hardys' MoM for the Wombats with an energetic performance in the field. The pint-sized Sydney-sider also took a well-judged catch on the boundary to remove the opposition dangerman and provide some semi-final spark for TWCC.

Wommies Out of the Burrow

With what started from taking a quick trip down to the shops on the pushy to pick up a carton of milk all went horribly wrong when my brother took a wrong corner and now 25 000kms over a stretch of 18 months in a monster bicycle tour around Australia...

WOMBATS KO'D BY SOLID SANO (01/10/2011)

The 2011 JCL season came to an end for the Tokyo Wombats on Saturday in Sano as the home team delivered a demoralising semi-final defeat to the four-time division 1 champs. A lack of players had plagued us all year -- and unfortunately, the semi-final was no different. Only 9 blokes, plus a cameo fielding appearance from Wombat veteran Steven Burke, was all we could muster, and so at the end of the day, the Sano team had more firepower to deliver the goods and book their place in the final.

WYVERNS WALLOP WOMBATS (27/08/2011)

With the Wombats losing the last game to Sano a win over the Wyverns was important to secure a place in the semi-final. This was not the case however.

UNDER STRENGTH AND UNDERWHELMING WOMBATS PUT UNDER GUN (13/08/2011)

Here I sit, staring at a blank word document for 10 minutes, pondering the unenviable task of resigning the events of last match to the annals of history. However, for the benefit of all Wommies who weren't there to witness the carnage (Where the bloody hell were you!?), here goes...

WOMBATS OVERPOWER ADORE (23/07/2011)

It was a grey and overcast morning that greeted the Wombats as they assembled for the usual morning rituals at Harajuku for the clash against Adore at Sano. It was a welcome respite from the expected Sano scorcher that we had been preparing for.

PERSISTANT WOMBATS FALL TO WYVERNS SLOG FEST (26/06/2011)

A lacklustre Tokyo Wombats batting attack was almost made up for by some decent fielding and bowling but in the end proved not enough for the pounding clubs of the Wyverns on Sunday, serving Tokyo's furry finest their first JCL loss for the year.

CHIANG MAI SIXES TOUR 2011

After the highs of the successful 2010 Chiang Mai Sixes tour, 2011 was all set for a spectacular come-down. None of you regular Tokyo based Wombats made the tour. Unsuccessful attempts get a side - and then to just get players - from my Melbourne club also failed. Andy Hall's Adelaide contingent failed to materialize. And in the 11th hour I was told no Sri Lankan star players were available.

WOMBATS FEAST ON FOLEY FUMBLES (17/04/2011)

The Wombats assembled at the usual place in Harajuku on a crisp and sunny morning for the first game of the year in order to face the much-improved Paddy Foley's team who are now boasting a number of dangerous players such as Andrew Goldsmith and the Rana Brothers.

JOIN THE TOKYO WOMBATS CRICKET CLUB IN 2011!

TOKYO WOMBATS are a successful club, having won numerous successive premierships, and played finals' cricket in almost every season. However winning, and even playing, is only part of what we do - or why we do it. It's more about having a laugh, making some mates, getting out of Tokyo. Even if your cricket skills are average at best, join us for a drink.

"There's more to playing cricket than just playing cricket."

There are irregular practise sessions in season, but these are light-hearted affairs. A chance to catch up with mates, have a trundle. The same goes for playing.

We are sponsored by HARDYS WINES of Australia. Their generosity underlines our fund-raising, which helps keep our fees lower than other clubs. HARDYS provides wines for quiz nights, raffles, and on-field awards.

We also receive generous support from Australia's ANZ BANK.

Tokyo Wombats make annual tours to Chiang Mai (Thailand) and Kobe.

If you want to have a run in 2011, please contact the Club! If you're a non-player and prefer talking and watching over a drink, then drop us a line.

NOTE: We are an AMATEUR club. We DO NOT pay players, hire coaches or sponsor visas from overseas.
