1st July 2009

This week sees the arrival of Australian pace bowler Marc Carson who is holidaying in the UK with his family (wife Kelly, son Tristan and young daughter Erica) for the month of July.

Having heard of the news that Treeton’s own Sri Lankan overseas bowler Himesh

Silva will be unavailable through injury until the end of July, Marc has offered his services to fill in during this period to help the 1st XI consolidate their position at the top of the Premier Division.

The Club are thankful of his availability because July is a massive month for the 1st team as they face three of the four teams beneath them who are part of the chasing pack. Carson will be available for the games against Barnsley 2nd XI away (4th July), Wickersley away (11th July), Wath home (18th July) and Elsecar home (25th July).

Everyone is well aware of Carso’s capabilities having already spent four seasons at the club (2003 to 2006) and he has taken a total of 204 wickets at 13.77 apiece in all competitions during this time, and was a major contributor to the Club winning the league in 2003 and 2006. He will further re-enforce an already destructive bowling attack and there’s sure to be a battle who takes the new ball amongst Gary Montgomery, Ben Ashdown, Steve Foster and Carso himself, good luck to Captain Cobb keeping the bowlers happy!

The Club would like to wish Marc, Kelly, Tristan and Erica an enjoyable stay back in the UK during July and here’s hoping Marc himself can put in some great performances to try to help Treeton regain the league title.
