Cricket Training Shirts
Dear Cricket Community,
It is an expectation that all Toowoomba Grammar School Cricketers wear the 2021 training shirt to training sessions and matches throughout the season – please be reminded that boys must wear full whites for matches.
Please access ‘Cricket Training Shirts 2021’ through Parent Lounge and once the transaction is complete, collection can be made. The TGS Cricket Supporters Group have once again generously subsidised our shirts and, as a result, will cost $25.
I would also like to thank our generous sponsors Toowoomba Mortgage Brokers and Keith Dudgeon Cricket Specialist for their support of our program.
All collections can be made from the Indoor Nets at the Ground Floor of the Glen McCracken Sports Centre at the following times:
Monday, 25 January (1:00-1:45pm)
- ALL Year 7 and NEW STUDENTS
Wednesday, 27 January (1:15-1:45pm)
- Year 8 and 9
Thursday, 28 January (12:30-1:00pm)
- Year 10, 11 and 12
Friday, 29 January (1:15-1:45pm)
- Students who are yet to collect
Junior school students will receive their training shirts during the trial sessions next week, once payment has been processed.
Please note, cricketers who attended the January Cricket Festival may have already received their training shirt and do not need to order another shirt.
I look forward to seeing you and your son around the grounds over the coming weeks.
Kind regards,
Peter Dein
