theme of cultural diversity. "The bloke batting at the moment's
Italian, we've got a lot of Greeks, that bloke running in to bowl
is Afghani …" The face of the club's juniors is changing, with
more Vietnamese playing every season. Of course, all are Aussies.
Better still, all are playing for Seddon.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/seddon-a-club-for-all-men/2007/12/22/1198175413697.html?page=2"><P>"We understand the battle to keep them," says Walters, pointing to
the Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan students from nearby Victoria
University who have in recent years made the club their home.</p> <P></P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/seddon-a-club-for-all-men/2007/12/22/1198175413697.html?page=4" href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/seddon-a-club-for-all-men/2007/12/22/1198175413697.html?page=4" style="font-size: 11px;">www.theage.com.au</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/seddon-a-club-for-all-men/2007/12/22/1198175413697.html?page=4">A young
man with an intellectual disability came to the club one year, so
they worked with him at training until confident he wouldn't get
hurt, and gave him a run in the fourths. Another kid, from a
disadvantaged family, started hanging around, so they took him in
and gave him a game. Caring about winning is one thing, caring
full-stop is something else.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/39BFE160-BBF0-4FAB-B599-4176FC330782/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
