Spud - typically aggressive with the bat.Spud's big 300 day coming up on Sunday 
Moonee Valley legend Darren "Spud" Nagle is set to become the first player in our Club's illustrious history to play 300 games, pulling on the whites for the match against Greenvale at our Ormond Park home on Sunday, October 30.

Spud seems to have settled well into our Fourths this season, and it's only fitting that he's set to play with that wily bunch of players in his milestone match.
Darren Nagle
Life Member, President for 14 years, an integral link in the formation of Moonee Valley's juniors and now junior coach, Spud has seen it all at Moonee Valley - leading from the front all the way.

We're inviting as many current and past players, supporters and opponents as possible to come down to Ormond Park and watch him reach his milestone. It's a one-day game, so it shouldn't be too taxing on his old body. The game starts at 1.30pm, so come down and celebrate as a Club legend goes where no-one has gone before. Well done Spud!
*Allan Cumming - top scored in the Seconds with 37no.A change of Luck for our Valley tourists

Moonee Valley sent two teams down to Bairnsdale on the September 24/25 weekend for games against Lucknow Cricket Club, and was able to turn the tables on the results from our last visit two pre-seasons ago.

Both our First and Second Elevens won their games, and we got some valuable match practice in.

We're grateful to Lucknow CC and its president, Paul Garry, for again hosting the games, and to its major sponsor, the Grand Terminus Hotel for arranging accommodation for us.

Our First side, batting first, made 3/101 off 30 overs, with Sean O'Kane making 54no and Trent Milne a stylish 25. We got Lucknow all out for 88, with Craig Pridham and Mark Gauci each taking two wickets.

In the Second team, Moonee Valley got Lucknow all out for 89, with Stephen Ward taking an excellent 3/20 and Simon Thornton and Bede Gannon each snaring two wickets.

In reply we made 8/140, on the back of a hard-hitting 37no from Allan Cumming and 23 from Stephen Ward. 

Left: Allan Cumming shows his score - 37no.
