Announcement
The PAOCCC committee are pleased to announce the appointment of Ben Hook as club coach. Ben replaces Sam Turner who, after four years as club coach, has accepted the Head Coaching role with Adelaide District Cricket Club.
Ben's cricket credentials speak volumes. Since joining PAOCCC two years ago, he has made 998 A-Grade runs @ 41.58, including three hundreds. This includes winning both the A1 batting trophy and PAOCCC Ted Norman Cup, representing ATCA in a number of Association games and playing in our A1 Premiership team last year. Ben has also contributed 22 wickets during this time.
Ben's record at district level also speaks for itself, having debuted at A-Grade district cricket level at age 17, Ben has represented both the Adelaide DCC and Glenelg DCC with distinction compiling 8,992 A-Grade runs including over 25 centuries. Along with his feats with the bat, Ben took 282 A-Grade wickets. Ben has been named in the SACA Grade Cricket "Team of the Year" on several occasions and is a dual Bradman Medallist. Ben's status in the Adelaide media has skyrocketed in recent years and he is now heavily involved with Channel Seven, ABC Breakfast and co-writes an article in the Sunday Mail We are thrilled at the prospect of having someone with Ben's experience and credentials on board to help accelerate the development of our young playing group.
The Club, a founding member of the ATCA and this year in its 78th year, will be fielding 5 senior teams again this season (A1, A3, B3, C3 & LO). Any players interested in joining a successful club with outstanding training facilities should contact Brad Weidenhofer on 0421 521 615.
