Just 2 rounds left for all 3 teams and it’s been a mixed season to say the least. The 1st XI have only managed the 2 wins thus far and are in a relegation battle with Mazenod & Ashwood. This weeks match against Mazenod appears to be a play off to get our off the dreaded bottom 2. If the last match against Mazenod where we were lucky enough to win in a T20 “bowl off” is anything to go by it should be an exciting match. They are coming off back to back wins and look to have hit form at the tail end of the year. Their captain Mick Hancock leads from the front with the bat and will be the key wicket for our boys.

1st XI Round 10 vs Mazenod O.C

Carey Sporting Complex. Players to be at ground no later than 11.45am.

The 2nd XI are coming off a loss to 4th place East Malvern/Tooronga and this week face top side Marcellin. We got the chocolates just 2 rounds ago against Marcellin so no doubt they’ll be out for revenge this week whilst also looking to lock up top spot. For our boys there is all to play for, 1 more win see’s us most likely lock in a home final and a win this week leaves the race for 1st place open. With finals now looming the pressure on spots has begun so all the 2’s will be keen to impress the selection committee come Saturday.

2nd XI Round 12 @ Marcellin

McCutcheon Oval, Yarra Bend – Players to be at ground no later than 12pm.

The 3’s have had a tough old season. Stricken by unavailability throughout the year there have not been many games where we have had the chance to field our full strength side, and the results have shown. With 2 games to go the boys will be keen to finish the year off on a high via 2 wins. Remember the 3’s are playing on Sunday this week with an early start time of 11.30am.

3rd XI @ Old Brighton
