The Carbine Club of Tasmania – Test Cricket Event
Steve Adermann, Carbine Club
of Tasmania President was
quickly out of the blocks as
soon as it was announced that
the 5th Test would be played
at Hobart’s Bellerive oval.
Steve arranged an outstanding
package for lucky Tas CC
members and his report on the
Club’s visit to the oval for Day
One is below:
Carbine Club Committee Member
Simon Bevan and Guests at the Oval
Carbine Club Tasmania members had the opportunity to attend the historic, first ever Ashes Test match
played in Tasmania which began on Friday January 14, 2022. A total of 50 seats in the Cricket Tasmania Club
House were made available to the Carbine Club Tasmania on Day One of the 5th Australian Men's Test Cricket
Team's match against England at Blundstone Arena, Bellerive. All of the top flight corporate hospitality spots
were snapped up within days amid a public scramble for general admission, reserved seating and members
tickets which commenced the day Cricket Australia announced that Hobart would host the last Test match in
the 2021/2022 Ashes series.
The Carbine Club Tasmania corporate hospitality at the day/night game included a three course meal served
in the function centre as well as ample finger food and grazing platters throughout the game. Guests also had
access to reserved seats outside in the Ricky Ponting Stand which offered a great view of the entire ground,
square of the wicket. A selection of beers, wines, ciders and soft drinks ensured that nobody went thirsty!
Each of our 50 guests also received a special Gift Bag sponsored by Raine & Horne Real Estate courtesy of
Carbine Club Tasmania member Ron Brooks. It included a number of items from Australian Cricket Test Team
sponsors as well as a personalised commemorative stubby holder bearing the name of each guest.
CARBINER3-2022
During the dinner break, former Australian cricketer Simon Katich provided some insight to the day's play so
far, which saw the Aussies in early trouble at 3/12. He was confident a revival was underway, and the home
side would recover to amass 250+ in their first innings. Simon provided recollections from his time in the
Australian Men's Cricket Test Team when he played 56 matches between 2001 & 2011. He also reflected on
his career in the Sheffield Shield competition, India Premier League and English County Cricket.
