Our T20 challenge v the Footballers
The Moonee Valley cricketers took on the Moonee Valley footballers on December 18 in what we plan to be an annual Twenty20 challenge.
The footballers batted first and posted a stiff target, and our cricketers fell just short in posting 9/231.
The game was played on the Ormond Park turf.
Moonee Valley Cricket's team was drawn from across the grades, including a healthy complement from our Fifths plus young Under 14 player Zac Nilsson, who had made his senior debut in the Sevenths just weeks earlier.
At right: Our T20 challenge team: L-R. Back - Jarrad Sims, Jack Newman, Channa DeSilva, Luke Brock, Joshua Gorry, Anthony Cafari, Paddy Shelton and Justin Trowell. Front - Charles Bibby, Matt Thomas, Zac Nilsson and Manu Poulose.
The Footballers included several players who had come through our junior cricket program - Sam O'Brien, Paddy White and James Saragias.
