Moonee Valley sent a strong team up to Barham for a pre-season hit on turf on September 16, and we came away witha good win.
The weekend was an opportunity for players in or vying for the top grades to have some time away together, and it certainly worked. Our bowlers got a good go, and batsmen got some quality time in the middle.
The post-match bonding was also a  highlight of the weekend.

Moonee Valley legend Sean O'Kane came across for the weekend from his home patch at Barooga - where we played our pre-season on turf leading up to the 2016/18 year - and a good time was had by all.
