Moonee Valley announces new Senior Coach

by Charlie Walker

Greetings Moonee Valley players and supporters:

It is with pleasure that I announce the appointment of Rex Bennett as the senior coach of the Moonee Valley Cricket Club.

Rex previously coached Moonee Valley for three seasons commencing from 2001/02, and has had a high-level coaching career before coming back to us.

In his first appointment as our coach he encouraged Moonee Valley to transfer its turf teams from the old Moreland Moonee Valley Cricket Association to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association, then coached us into a Grand Final in the North B Division in our first season in VTCA.

We were promoted to the North A Division, and Rex coached us through that season.

When he left Moonee Valley be became bowling coach for Premier club North Melbourne, then took over as senior coach at North Melbourne.

Rex then coached St Bernards in the VTCA, taking them from the North A Division through to the top-grade Senior Division.

For the past couple of seasons he has coached Sunshine in the Victorian Sub District Cricket Association.

In his earlier career, Rex played in Footscray's only premiership team in the old Victorian Cricket Association.

He has maintained his connection with Moonee Valley in the years since he coached us, attending a number of club functions including our 40th anniversary.

Rex has firm ideas on how he can improve the playing group, and we look forward to working with him.

Welcome back, Rex!

Charlie Walker.

President,

Moonee Valley Cricket Club
