Our MVP night - and our Fieldlows

A merry band of Moonee Valley players gathered in the clubrooms on the night of Saturday, March 10 for our Most Valuable Player awards night.

And our Fieldlow fielding award vote count was held on Thursday, March 15.

The MVP night occasion also saw the presentation of many of our milestone trophies - games milestones, wickets, runs (by the thousand), centuries and five-wicket hauls.

Many thanks to life member Joe Ansaldo for his tremendous job at catering the finger food for the night.

The voting was close and tense for the Fieldlows, due to the new 3-2-1 system introduced for this season.

The winners were: Firsts Craig Pridham; Seconds Sam O'Brien; Thirds Michael Klomp; Fourths Darren Nagle (pictured here); Sixths Jackson Clarke and Ashley Krollig; Sevenths Shaun Rayment (also pictured); and Eighths Matthew Esmore
