LATEST NEWS: JACK NEWMAN IS FIRSTS CAPTAIN
The Moonee Valley Cricket Club has appointed young gun Jack Newman as First Eleven captain.
Jack was part of the young group which got us through to the VTCA North A Grand Final last season, and is keen to take the team to the next level.
Aged 19, Jack has the exuberance of youth plus a wise head, having played senior cricket for the past six years and taken every opportunity to learn from experienced players.
One of the quickest bowlers at the Club and a steady middle order bat, Jack leads from the front. He has experience as captain ad vice-captain of North West Metropolitan Cricket Association representative teams.
Jack's appointment was confirmed by the Committee on September 11, taking over from Daniel Comande, who had to step down due to a change in circumstances.
Jack's first outing as Valley Firsts skipper is a pre-season game against Barooga on September 15.
He has played at Moonee Valley since the Under 10s.
And Wardy gets up for the Seconds
Moonee Valley's 2012/13 Second Eleven captain, Stephen Ward, has been reappointed to the role for 2018/19, following intensive interviews and rigorous selection discussions.
We welcome Wardy back into the job, after he returned to Moonee Valley for 2017/18 after a number of years living in the United States - where he still played cricket in one of the expat teams.
We acknowledge the sterling job performed by Michael Ozbun in the role as Seconds captain for the past two seasons.
Applications for captains of our other grades close on September 8.
Our preliminary entries for other grades are: Thirds – Mercantile One Day C Grade Sunday home games; Fourths – Mercantile One Day D Grade Sundays; Fifths NWMCA One Day fourth division Saturdays; Sixths NWMCA One Day fifth division Saturdays; Sevenths NWMCA One Day Sunday grade.
Applications should be sent to MVCC Vice President Mark Gauci at markgmvcc@gmail.com
