UNDER 14s DO US PROUD

Moonee Valley's Under 14 team carried all before them during the 2021/22 season, and the Grand Final on March 11 was no exception.
Having earned the right for a home final at Ormond Park, our boys (and girl) were in the field after losing the toss to Pascoe Vale Hadfield in the Friday evening grade.
We quickly had them on the back foot at 3 for 4, then they consolidated to be 9/89 at the end of their 20 overs. Moonee Valley was dynamic in the field, letting nothing through and effecting four runouts.
Moonee Valley was solid and purposeful in reply, losing our first wicket at 31 and the second at 63 before pulling stumps at 6/104 after 17 overs.
We were the best team all season - and our skill right across the 15-player squad was strengthened by seven players having senior experience.
The win was our first junior flag since an Under 14 premiership in 2017/18, and only the second since an Under 12 win in 2011/12.
Moonee Valley's Under 12 Friday team also played off in a Grand Final on March 11, but fell short by 26 runs.
