After a successful 2023/24 season that saw our 1st XI win the VTCA Division 3 Premiership, the club consoldiated our position in Division 2 for season 2024/25, securing the minor premiership before a close loss in the Semi-Final. The club is looking forward to another strong season and pushing for another premiership and promotion to Division 1.
We are delighted to see the appointment of Tom Burton as Head Senior Coach for the 2025/26 season. Tom was a key member of our 2023/24 senior premiership team and is a former Captain/Coach of Mazenod cricket club.
To assist Tom we have appointed Matt Grose, Andrew Hendry, Stan Alsop and Jack Blythman as Assistant coaches. All of our assistant coaches have held the role of Head Coach with other clubs and the club is excited and fortunate to have such a strong and experienced leadership group.
This season will also see the return of dynamic wicketkeeper/batter Josh Van Zyl and talented top order batter Callum Herron from England. Callum has enjoyed another stellar season in the UK and we look forward to him continuing his strong form this season. In addition, we have a number of our home grown junior cricketers continuing to improve and with guidance of our experienced coaching panel we are hopeful they will push for selection in the higher grades.
Season 2025/26 sees three Senior teams fielded in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association and one Senior team in the Western Suburbs Churches & Community Cricket Association. We are also pleased to again enter a team in the VTCA Under 18 competition.
