Our Christmas Party 2014

CHRISTMAS CHEER AT ORMOND PARK

There was action inside and outside the Ormond Park pavilion when our Club held its 2014 Christmas Party to mark the holiday break in the season.
The action inside comprised a well-stocked canteen, an even-better stocked Spud's Bar and some excellent food arranged by Dan Terzini.
And the action outside was the nailbiter played on the turf wicket by the Moonee Valley Fourths.

Defending a total of 7/183, we took it down to the wire before Toorak-Prahran got its nose in front nine wickets down off the last over of the day.
And the Valley Sevenths had a nailbiter away from home, also going down in the last over - for 216 chasing a total of 218 posted by Royal Park Reds.
Senior and junior players, and parents, partners and supporters enjoyed the break-up.
Special thanks goes to Life Member Dan Terzini, who organised the raffle and the meal. Thanks also to Peter Golding, Peter Smith, Adele Walker and the others who helped prepare and serve up the food in a couple of separate shifts.
Thanks also to Simon Thornton and Adam Patchell for their excellent work in Spud's Bar, meeting the needs of the thirsty guests - especially the players who put on the entertainment in the Fourths and the Sevenths.
We had around two dozen prizes in the raffle, and the person who came away with the biggest smile was player Craig Pridham, who pocketed the $500 cash first prize.
The second cash prize of $250 went to past Second Eleven captain Daniel Phillips.
Thanks to the prize donors, including Phill King, Peter Smith, George Loh, Sandra and Alan Thomas and Matt Clare - our sponsor at the Reunion Bar.
