Nate Tons Up -

first century for

Valleys

Congratulations to Seconds captain Nathan Waites on his first century for Moonee Valley.
Nate carried his bat for 110 not out in the January 31 game against East Keilor, but we ran out of overs and finished 16 runs short of the total.
Nate scored his tally at a run a ball as he led from the front in trying to chase down the total, and we finished our 36 overs eight wickets down.
Nate put on a bright start with Max Jones, and took the score to 99 before Max was out for 50 in the 19th over.

No other batsman reached double figures, as Nate tried to hold the innings together.
It's his second season at Moonee Valley, and Nate put his hand up to captain the Seconds this year to help bring alone some of our younger players.
He played most of the previous season in the Firsts, and has been called on for three games this season to go up the grades.
Congratulations Nathan - we're sure that there are more centuries for you to come at Moonee Valley in this season and future years.
