THE Seymour District Cricket Association (SDCA) has made a major announcement ahead of its long-awaited return to senior representative cricket, securing one of the competition\u2019s most respected figures as Head Coach.<\/p>\n
Cam Armstrong, current coach of the Yea Cricket Club, and a legend of the local
game, will take charge for a one-off representative clash against the Emu Valley Cricket Association in a home game next February.<\/p>\n
Armstrong\u2019s cricketing r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is among the most impressive in the region.<\/p>\n
SDCA President Mitch Itter said the appointment is a significant boost for the SDCA as it aims to make a strong statement in its representative cricket comeback.<\/p>\n
\u201cCam is an exceptional cricketer, fiercely competitive and a great advocate for cricket
in our region. We\u2019re thrilled to have someone of his calibre leading our rep team.<\/p>\n
\u201cCam has the respect of everyone across our competition, and his involvement in junior
development and leadership at Yea have been outstanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re eager to see what he can achieve with our league\u2019s top players, and we know
our younger talent will gain a lot from working with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe return of senior rep cricket is a big milestone for the SDCA, and there\u2019s already
strong support from our clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n
With extensive experience in premier cricket and a dominant record, Armstrong will certainly bring both pedigree and passion to the role, and regional cricket.<\/p>\n
Since returning to his home club of Yea in the 2014\/15 season, Armstrong has been
a powerhouse. He has amassed 3,643 runs at an average just shy of 40, including
four centuries, and claimed more than 140 wickets.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrials will commence soon so stay tuned for more announcements as we finalise the
squad,\u201d Itter said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE Seymour District Cricket Association (SDCA) has made a major announcement ahead of its long-awaited return to senior…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-275641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
