Moonee Valley's coaching structure's now in place

Experienced premiership players and past captains Daniel Phillips and Matt Thomas have been appointed as assistants to new Moonee Valley senior coach Mark Gauci.

Daniel Phillips (left) played in our Second Eleven flag in 2014/15, while Matt Thomas (below left) was First Eleven captain for the past two seasons and was honored as captain of the VTCA North B1 Division Team of the Year last season. He is not playing this season due to knee surgery.

Mark Gauci (right) is a Life Member of our Club, our most recent First Eleven premiership captain and more recently, captain of our Premiership-winning Sixth Eleven team in 2014/15

The three-man coaching panel will also be assisted by premiership player Channa DeSilva, who has been appointed our Director of Junior Cricket and will oversee the coaching of all our junior teams.

As well as his junior coaching duties, Channa DeSilva (right) will play an important role assisting in senior coaching and training.

Senior coach Mark Gauci said he was pleased to have such an experienced structure around him, and was confident that it would lead to an excellent season for the Club.

Our next Saturday training session is from 10am to midday on August 29, while we will resume Tuesday and Thursday senior training at 5.30pm at our Ormond Park home from September 1.

At this stage Moonee Valley is still looking for an Under 10 coach and a third Under 12 coach. Anyone interested in the roles should ring joint Junior Co-ordinator Peter Pickering on 0414 800 145.
