THE  CARDS  FALL  RIGHT  FOR  OUR  DAN

Senior cricketer Daniel Comande proved to be the sharpest card in the pack at the Moonee Valley Cricket Club's annual poker tournament, taking out the first prize.
Daniel held his nerve as players were eliminated and when we got down to the final table of eight.
As Troy Eden, Darren Nagle, Michael Felle and Ryan Fairclough were beaten, Daniel held sway. And after Dominic Rettino and Michael Ozbun went out, it was head-to-head at the end between Daniel and Dean Coxall.

It was an excellent night and a good fundraiser, involving Moonee Valley players, past players, junior parents, friends of members and friends from the bowling club.
The MVCC Life Members catered for the February 18 function, so thanks to people such as Bob Sciacchitano, Joe Ansaldo, John Talone, Sandro Capocchi and a  host of others for their excellent support.
The tournament, named in honor of Life Member, the late Peter "PG" Gardiner, is a major fundraiser for our club.
