Former Eastlake Cricket Club (ECC) player, Sean Finn (“Finny”) has, unfortunately, been diagnosed with cancer and is going through a very tough time. As those who have encountered him know, “Finny” is super enthusiastic, generous and a bit quirky! Having played a little bit with Eastlake’s predecessor club, Easts, in the late 1970s/early 80s, he returned and played 65 matches for us between 2012 and 2017, all in fifth grade. He captained the team for two seasons which included taking them to the grand-final in the 2014/15 season. After finishing up as fifth-grade captain, he then took on a role supporting the first-grade team, as well as helping out with training. His printing business, Brindabella Print (which he ran out of his garage), also sponsored the ECC and it is still a sponsor of Cricket ACT. Even if you don’t know “Finny”, all players would be aware of one of the products of his printing business, the Finny’s scorebook. Sean recognised shortcomings with other available scorebooks and created a much improved product that is used exclusively by Cricket ACT, as well as further afield. Those that saw Finny at the recent Cricket ACT presentation dinner encountered the same effervescent, positive person he has always been, but unfortunately that belied his real situation. To help him along financially, a GoFundMe page has been set up. If you wish to, please contribute whatever you feel is appropriate. Every little bit will help.
