Saturday
The First XI has a must win game away against Murrumbeena, Cristian Hollingworth gets his first chance in the one’s lets hope he does well. Raj Bala is out again with general soreness and is looking the resume via the 3rd XI.
The seconds will be keen to bounce back from a loss to Mentone last week and are at home to Murrumbeena. Dave “The Model” Goodey has been promoted after his big ton in the 4th’s and Pete Scoulidis get his first run in the seconds. Where Dave goes so does Gemma, the 2nd’s officially have a team manager this week, looking forward to a great arvo tea!
The thirds are at Lord vs Melbourne City, note this is a one day game starting at 12.30pm. Srikanth back in after a 3 month trip to India.
The fourth XI are stepping back in time with Steve “Old Man River” Yeats taking charge, they are also playing Melbourne City. Josh Meyer comes in for his first game of senior cricket due to his baseball committments. The Pres Patrick O’Shannessy also takes to the field after an extended lay off with Ebola, Pat picked this up in the jungles of South America.
Sunday
The A grade are away vs Burnley, many great battles between these two sides over the years. Another new skipper this game Niraj Edwards, this team has had more skippers than Tim Dodgson has had Big Mac’s. Looking at the team list one would be excused for thinking we were rolling out the English national team.
The B Sunday are at Koornang vs EMT, MG Dodgson is vs sort of his old club (well half of it anyway) i’m sure he will be keen to notch up a win here. Some pretty decent inclusions also with Mayank,Raj,Sid all coming into the line up.
Also well done to the selection panel as i know there are many players missing with all the world cup matches starting next week.

The selection changes have been made with T.Rabari up from the 2nds after a 70 & 80 in his last 2 knocks, Raj “general soreness” Bala is also back in. B Cranwell has been named 12th man for this match.
The 2nd XI is in a first vs second on the ladder match and is away to the ladder leader Mentone at Hogben. Anuj is back in and C.Shanthappa is in for his first game in the 2nd’s. The 2nd’s also welcome back Baylo and Luke Meyer.
The 3rd XI is on Sunday this week away to Mooney Valley, enjoy the drive lads.
The 4th XI are way to Monash this week at Fawkner Park, big hitting Ben “Tug Boat” Lucas is in. The skipper and team manager will be hoping not to have to pull off the great escape again this week after last week passing the opposition 9 down.
The A Grade are away to ESOCC on Sunday, last time they met there were fireworks. If you get a chance get down and support the lads. Hopefully there is no semi club function on Saturday night @ Tom Thumbs this week !
The B Sunday are at home on Sunday vs long term rivals Clayton Districts. Matt Greene has come out of semi retirement for this one such is his love for Clayton. The revolving door of skippers for this team continues with the shock recall of Elliot Cartledge after 2 knee reco’s, he will resemble “Stone Cold” Steve Austin with those big knee braces on. MG Dodgson unable to back up yet again!

After a poor weekend of weather and only 3 games getting a start the weather has now cleared.
Seniors
The First XI is away to Old Mentone, Anuj is back in and Raj Bala is out. Raj needing to spend some extra time shining his bald head. The first’s needing to carry on their good Pre-Xmas form and set up the run home to the finals.
The Seconds are at home to Beaumaris and Carnegie will be looking to reverse the narrow 3 run loss in rnd one. Scott Oram has been promoted into the seconds to hit some big sixes. The 2nds are playing in colours this week so make sure you bring your coloured shirts with you.
The Third Eleven is @ Lord reserve playing against Alec Kahn’s Reds, lets hope the umpires don’t call off play down there this week. Dave Morrissey is returning from a 2 month lay off from shoulder surgery and is raring to go.
The 4ths are down at Princes Park #4 this week vs Burnley, the 4ths made every effort to play last week lets hope they get a full game in this week. Led by the Saturday night owl Dave Goodey and managed by the Guava loving GT get down there bright and early and get a big win.
The A Grade coming off a narrow loss at Koornang last Sunday, will be looking to put Monash to the sword at KP.
The Sunday B also coming off a narrow last Sunday at Lord will be looking to beat the Melbourne Strikers at Faukner Park 3. MG Dodgson has taken charge of the team after repeated non selections in the 2nds eventually forced him to look at playing in another team. MG will also be backing up after his big 50th celebrations at Tom Thumbs.

Training will take place from 5.45pm until 7.00pm at Sandown Indoor Sports Centre 2 Brough Street, Springvale North. The same place we hold our Pre-Season Sessions. We have booked 3 nets.
Selection will be held back at the rooms after training and posted on the Website/Club App later in the evening.
Go Negs!
