Everyone at Everton Districts Cricket Club would like to congratulate David "DC" Colley on representing the Australian Masters Over 40s A Squad during their recent tour of Sri Lanka.
A class wicketkeeper-batsman and one of the true clubmen at Everton Districts, DC's selection was thoroughly deserved. Throughout the tour, he performed with both the bat and gloves, making valuable contributions with the willow and once again proving to be a safe, reliable pair of hands behind the stumps. It came as a surprise to absolutely no one who knows DC, as he has always set exceptionally high standards for himself and consistently delivers whenever he steps onto a cricket field.
Beyond his performances on the field, DC is the ultimate team player. Respected at every level of the game. He's someone teammates love playing alongside and opponents respect. He's also a fantastic role model and mentor for our EDCC junior players, always willing to share his knowledge, lend a hand around the club and encourage the next generation of cricketers.
DC's achievements in Sri Lanka are a reflection of the dedication, professionalism and humility he brings to the game every week. Everton Districts Cricket Club is incredibly proud of what he's accomplished and congratulates him on representing both Australia and our club with such distinction.
Well done, DC—an outstanding tour, a richly deserved achievement and an experience of a lifetime!
