Lou's awesome innings

Raining sixes for Lou
Lou's innings of 170 was the sixth-highest score recorded by a Valley player in any grade, and included more than 100 runs in shots that cleared the boundary of the eastern matting oval.
The 17 sixes was also a club record for a single innings, eclipsing the 13 bludgeoned by Shane Williams in the Thirds in 1997/98.
Lou's 167-run stand with captain Dan Terzini equalled the fourth wicket record for the Fourths, which had been set by Geoff McKeown and Joe Reitano in 2001/02.
And Lou wasn't the only one to take it up to the Barkly St Uniting attack, as Moonee Valley compiled 7/325 off the 40 overs. Others to get among the runs were Dan Terzini with 42, Pat Felmingham with 40 and Ben Thomas with 22.
It also set a new Club record across all grades, overtaking the 20 sixes which the Firsts hit against West Coburg in 2000/01.
And for the record, our 7/325 was enough to beat Barkly St Uniting, which compiled 162. Our stars with the ball were Mark Cini with 5/36 and Pat Felmingham with 4/25.
Our Fifths easily accounted for Flemington Colts, and new player Craig Pridham (left), who has come to Moonee Valley via Greenvale, took a five-wicket haul.
