After 15 incredible years in the maroon and sky blue, it is time to bid farewell to one of Hollywoodbets Chatsworth Sporting Cricket Club’s finest servants, Courtney Gounden.
Since joining the club in 2011 as an Under-11 player, Courtney has been an integral part of the Sporting family. Through dedication, hard work and an unwavering passion for the game, she progressed through our junior structures, earned her place in the women’s team and proudly led the side as captain.
Throughout her time at the club, Courtney has been instrumental in one of the most successful eras in our women’s cricket history, helping the team secure seven Premier League titles and six T20 League titles. Her achievements on the field speak for themselves but her impact extends far beyond the boundary.
Courtney has been a role model to our younger players, always willing to lend a helping hand, share her knowledge and inspiring the next generation of cricketers. Her leadership, commitment and love for the club have left a lasting legacy that will continue to influence those who follow in her footsteps.
As Courtney embarks on an exciting new journey with the SWD Badgers, we do so with immense pride. While it is never easy saying goodbye to someone who has given so much to our club, we know she will continue to achieve great things and represent herself with the same passion and determination that defined her time at Sporting.
From everyone at Hollywoodbets Chatsworth Sporting Cricket Club, thank you, Courtney, for your years of dedication, your leadership, your countless contributions and the memories you have helped create. You will always be part of the Sporting family.
We wish you every success as you begin this exciting new chapter. Thank you for wearing the maroon and sky blue with pride for the past 15 years. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle! 🦅
