WET WELCOME TO OUR NEW SEASON

We might have endured an unprecedented four weeks of washouts to start the 2022/23 cricket season, but that still didn't dampen the enthusiasm of players, supporters and past players at our season launch.
At left: The season launch, but no actual season yet! L-R Firsts captain Jack Newman, Suraj Weerasinghe and Wasim Abbas.

We marked the opening on October 22 with a day watching the Cox Plate on TV in the rooms, then leading in to the function and a delightful barbecue meal, thanks to Dean Lawson, Sandro Capocchi, John Talone and other members of the Past Players (and current ones too).
We welcomed back some old faces, and even celebrated with some new players who have not yet been able to pull on the Valley whites due to the washouts.
We've failed to get on the park for every fixtured senior game this season, although our Women's team was able to play the day after the season launch, and we had also been able to open our account in the NWMCA Twenty20 competition.
