Grand Final match details - and Sunday night, Mad Monday

Week 23 - March 20 & 21. Grand Finals - and our post-GF celebrations. Be there!


Greetings MVCC members, players and supporters:

An exciting end to the season winds up this weekend, and we'll be looking to celebrate our achievements come what may.

We've won an Under 16 Premiership, we're in an Under 12 Grand Final on Saturday and we've got our first four senior teams half-way through grand finals.

We are in varying positions in each of the four games, but we have confidence in our players to give it their best shot and bring home the premiership.

We will be celebrating Sunday night, and then with the pressure of the game off our shoulders will be leading in to the "Mad Monday" event to let our hair down.

We're staging both events courtesy of Tony Sherer (left), one of the Club's major sponsors with the Prince of Wales Hotel at 506 Mount Alexander Road, Ascot Vale.

Don't be put off by the fact that the POW isn't regularly trading at the moment as a result of the fire before Christmas.

Come to the door of the TAB section and you'll find us all, in the hotel and out in the beer garden.

It's on from 7pm until late on Sunday night, and from normal hotel hours until late on Monday.

Come and join us Sunday night, Monday during the day or Monday after work. We will be there. If you want to check how things are travelling during the course of the celebrations, or whether we've temporarily moved stumps, give me a call on 0409 237 543.


Cheers,

Charlie Walker.
