WE WON BAROOGA!

The Moonee Valley Cricket Club has won the Barooga Over 35s tournament, taking out the trophy with three straight wins.

We’ve come close before on our previous five trips to the tournament, but strong batting and bowling displays ensured we were well in control across each of the matches, played in blistering heat which rose into the 40s. The tournament ran from January 14 to 17.

Our team comprised current Moonee Valley players Daniel Phillips, Allan Cumming, Mark Gauci, Peter Golding, Michael Cumbo, Sean O’Kane and Tony Gleeson, past players Adam Chapple, Glen Courts and Amit Chaudhary, and Barooga players Travis Gow, Matt Dimble and Justin Maley.

We’ll be back to defend our title in 2020 – team leaders Daniel Phillips and Mark Gauci handed back the $300 prizemoney as the deposit for next year’s entry.
