The Test: Valley insight into the back

stories behind the docu-series

Moonee Valley players and families got a first-hand insight into the back-stories behind the 2023 Ashes series with a special screening of the key episode of The Test docu-series at Ormond Park on October 3.
More than 50 players and family members attended the event, with one of the series editors, Mike Mulgrew.
Mike - who is the dad of Moonee Valley junior Lachlan Mulgrew - was introduced by MC Kevin Gardiner, who coaches Lachlan.

Mike gave a riveting account of the ins and outs  of the key moments in the series, including the runout dismissal of English batsman Jonny Bairstow and the appalling behaviour of the MCC members in the Lords Long Room.
The Q&A session after the screening also provided plenty of insights, including how the docu-series was put together, the first-hand interaction with the Australian players and decisions on what stayed in and out of the final cut.
We thank Mike for his time - and also thank Bede Gannon and Kevin Gardiner for the excellent meal for the attendees.
