Kevin and Phill get their right reward

Club stalwarts Phill King and Kevin Gardiner received the highest honors when the Moonee Valley Cricket Club held its Senior Presentation Night on Saturday, April 20.
Phill was awarded the coveted Lindsay Jones Best Clubman award, while Kevin was blind-sided with an unflagged presentation of Life Membership.
Both Kevin and Phill have had long involvement with our juniors, and have also been important players in their own right.
Our Night of Nights was held at the venue of major MVCC sponsor the North Suburban Sports Club, where we enjoyed an excellent buffet meal and the hospitality of a well-stocked bar.
Our Club Champion award for the best player in the First Eleven was won by Ihtisham Uddin, while Jesse Felle won the Moonee Valley Award for points allocated in all grades other than the Firsts.

Bush bash to mark the
end of a long season
A group of Moonee Valley cricketers ventured to the wilds of Lancefield on the March 23/24 weekend to mark the end of the 2012/13 cricket campaign.
We may have only got three senior teams into the finals, but it was still a season worthy of celebration.
The bush property in the Cobaw Ranges outside of Lancefield is the winter haunt of Charlie and Murray Walker, who cut and haul firewood from it and sell to customers in Melbourne.
The weekend was a chance to relax and let the hair down, without the formalities of an official end-of-season cricket trip.

Appy to go - Moonee Valley's smartphone app
 
Moonee Valley's members and supporters can get their own free smartphone app, to keep in touch with everything that's happening around our Club.

The app, designed and built by Brendan Wright - brother of Fourths stalwart Norm - can be downloaded free through either the Apple Store or the Android Play Store. Simply go into the store and search for "Moonee Valley" and you'll find it.

Brendan's company, website and app developer CommunityToGo has scored some major contracts with their apps, so Moonee Valley Cricket Club is grateful and honored that the company has developed and launched our app.

Smartphone users can check all the Club information - they're notified when something new comes up on the website or our Facebook page, and will be able to instantly look and see whenever we update scores on game day via our Twitter account.

Our members can check every upcoming game on the fixture and get GPS directions to every ground our teams play on - seniors or juniors.

Already more than three dozen of our members have downloaded the app. All members should download and use it - and make sure you let players and supporters of opposing clubs know what a great app we have - and that it's courtesy of Brendan Wright and CommunityToGo.
