Message from Cricket Ipswich General Manager Simon Emmerson.

Thank you to the Ipswich Cricket Community.

After nine seasons of volunteering, coaching, and administration, including five seasons on the Cricket Ipswich Board and two as General Manager, my last day as GM of Cricket Ipswich will be Friday June 5th.

As I look forward to my next chapter starting at Queensland Cricket, it is timely to reflect and thank all those that have helped and supported along the way.

Amazing highlights include being a part of the Lord Taverners premiership win, being in the crowd when Anthony Wilson hit the winning runs in the T20max grand final and enjoying the various achievements of my sons.

However, my greatest pride comes from the legacy of junior competitions and pathway systems that together, with a group of great mates, we have been able to build for the future generations of young Hornets.

Thank you to everyone who has supported myself and Cricket Ipswich along the way. I look forward to being able to continue having a positive impact on Cricket Ipswich though my new role at Queensland cricket, while also enjoying the opportunity to step back locally to being a parent and cricket fan on the sidelines.

Thank you.
