Welcome

Interesting Fact: Australia's longest place name maynot rival Anglesey's Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochin length, but the translation is a little more colourful. Whereas Llanfairtranslates as St. Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapidwhirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave, the 'polite' versionof South Australia's Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya, in South Australia is"the place where the devil urinates". 

However, residents of bothplaces can only gaze in awe at New Zealand's effort, with Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateahaumaitawhitiurehaeaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahubeing,or the summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber ofmountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his kōauau (flute) tohis loved one, being the longest in the entire world! 

Every day is a schoolday at Clifton Cricket Club.

Jordy and Aussie Ryan can be excused with their game abandonedat 18-0, but Zach contributed no runs to Pakenham's 1st day total of 201-8 withSam faring slightly better with one run, one wicket and a catch in NorthernSuburbs' successful run chase of 174-5 which lifted them to 3rd place onlythree points behind leaders Chisholm whom they play next week.
