Lou and Mark are back in our two key onfield roles
Moonee Valley Cricket Club is pleased to announce the reappointment of Lou Raffaele (left) as our Senior Coach for the 2009/10 season.
And Mark Gauci (right) has been reappointed as captain of our First Eleven for his fifth season.
It will be Lou's third season in charge of the biggest cricket club in Victoria.
Club President Charlie Walker said Lou's reappointment followed the advertising process required under our bylaws, and was made after other applicants were closely considered.
"Lou has led significant improvement in our playing group in his time at Moonee Valley," Charlie said.
"His coaching and leadership played a major role in our top three teams making finals in 2008/09, and other improvements across the Club.
"We welcome his reappointment, and we are sure that the improvement under Lou will continue."
Club Vice-President Sandro Capocchi said the combination of Mark and Lou provided stability to the Club last season and led to the First Eleven playing off in a Grand Final.
He said Mark was now an experienced captain, and the Gauci/Raffaele leadership meant the Club could be confident of a competitive season in 2009/10.
The Club is also able to announce that our champion overseas player, Arosha Perera, is back at Moonee Valley for 2009/10.
Anyone looking for a great club to play in the coming season should ring Lou on 0433 854 549 or Charlie on 0409 237 543.
