Award winning Basingstoke & North Hants cricketer George Metzger has joined Newcastle - but it’s only for the upcoming Australian winter season !
He has flown to Northern New South Wales to play for Newcastle City in the state premier league and will debut in Saturday’s T20 double headers against Carlton and Northern Districts.
It’s unlikely Metzger, who topped Basingstoke's batting charts this summer, will be behind the stumps due to a sore back.
Hampshire’s Fletcha Middleton will be following in his father’s footsteps when he debuts for rivals Belmont against Waratah-Mayfield at the club’s seaside Cahill Oval.
Tony Middleton played for Belmont in his early 20s, spending two seasons at the club.
Fair Oak spin all-rounder Conor Gibson plays Belmont having made 428 runs and taken 21 wickets in SPL1 cricket this past season.
Bashley (Rydal) pair Dan Goodey and Michael Porter are plying their trade in Victoria Sub-District cricket for Brunswick against Ormond, who have two familiar Dorset faces in their side.
Greg Willows and one-time Bournemouth batsman Jamie Price are listed by Ormond.
Joe Vaughan, who enjoyed a fine end to the OTs & Romsey season, is spending a second consecutive winter in Melbourne’s South Bayside League with Bentleigh.
Hampshire pair Toby Albert and Dom Kelly will shortly be headed to Perth to play in the WACA Grade competition - Albert for a third winter at Joondalup and Kelly at Melville, alongside the Swan River.
