It with great satisfaction and pride I put forward this (roast) nomination for Trent Copeland to be considered for Life Membership of St George DCC.
The St George Chapter in Trent’s life began in the season of the 2003-04 where in Rd 14 he played his first game and wasn’t it a cracker.
Day 1 - He debuts in 2nd Grade and takes a catch as a WK. Yep.
A bit of artistic license on my part but I’m going to say that he gets dropped mid game to 3rd Grade and on day 2 you guessed it, he’s in the field again … all day …and takes a catch at WK.
First game done and dusted, a very skinny newcomer to the club has no runs, no wickets, 2 catches and has already played 2 grades …and thus starts the incredible senior career of Trent Copeland for the mighty Saints.
