AL'S CAREER IS COMING OF AGE
Moonee Valley's Allan Cumming has capped off his two-decade career at Moonee Valley by reaching his 200th game, and there are plenty more to come. The popular wicketkeeper has done most things around our club - he has captained turf and hard-wicket teams, and one and two-day grades, and celebrated his milestone by playing with son Morgan - the main reason Al embarked on his Moonee Valley career. At left: 200-game player Allan Cumming with son Morgan. Morgan began his juniors at Moonee Valley in 2000, and soon after Allan got the bug and signed on as a player. He played his milestone match at home on December 7 in the Sixths. Also alongside him was club legend/Life Member and past president Darren "Spud" Nagle, who conscripted Allan and threw him a set of whites the moment he indicated he was half interested in a game. He had two other Life Members with him in the team - skipper Danny Terzini and Peter Smith. Allan has long been a key contributor to the running of our club, and has been a committee member since 2012/13. He's also a regular in our Barooga Over 35s teams each January, and was part of the team which won the tournament in 2019. Allan, congratulations on a wonderful cricket career, and it's by no means over. ****** For a picture of Al's milestone team, click HERE
