MCA B Sunday Premiers 2012/13

Carnegie are MCA B Sunday Premiers for 2012/13 after a dominant performance against the Melbourne Cobras last Sunday. After a late start due to rain reduced the match to 38 overs a side, our boys were sent in and immediately set about putting the Cobras bowlers to the sword. Captain Elliot Cartledge led the way with 54 as we set a challenging total of 8/176. In response, several of the Cobras bats made starts, but none of them went on with it. Simon Barker was the pick of the bowlers with 3/21 off 7 as we knocked them over for 129.

A fantastic effort from the team, and a well deserved result after an outstanding season.

MCA B Sunday Premiers 2012/13

Back: M Smith, S Barker, E Cartledge (c), G Cartledge, R Nair, D Stanic, B Morton
Front: D Harrison-Smith (12th man), G Wilcock, S Easton, A Morton, D Bennett

B Sunday Grand Final at Koornang Park this Sunday

It’s grand final week, and the big dance is coming to Koornang Park this Sunday with our Sunday 1-day team hosting the Melbourne Cobras in the MCA B Sunday grand final. Elliot’s team have had a fantastic season finishing top of the ladder and are determined to go all the way after some near misses in recent years.

The final kicks off at 11am, and is sure to be an entertaining game of cricket. Your support at any time during the day will be greatly appreciated, so come down and cheer the boys on as they fight to bring home a flag.

Carn the Negie!!

It’s Finals Time!

It’s finals time at the Negie, and this season we have no less than 4 teams in contention, all playing their semi-finals this weekend.

The 1sts claimed 4th spot in VTCA South A1 and will face top side Clayton District at Haughton Rd Reserve, Haughton Rd, Clayton starting at 1pm both Saturday and Sunday. The boys have been in good form lately and are a massive chance of causing an upset here.

The 2nds have claimed a home final, finishing a clear 2nd in VTCA South A2 and will face Hampton at Koornang Park, starting at 1pm both Saturday and Sunday.

The Sunday 1sts were just pipped for top spot in the hotly-contested MCA A Reserve grade and come up against Parkville District at Cordner Oval, Fawkner Park, South Yarra starting at 11am both Saturday and Sunday.

The Sunday 2nds finish top of MCA B Sunday and will be hoping to carry that form into their semi-final against South Yarra at Como Park East, corner Alexandra Avenue and Williams Road, South Yarra. This is a one-day game starting at 11am on Sunday.

The weather will be perfect for cricket-watching this weekend and your support at any one of these games any time across the weekend would be greatly appreciated! If you can’t make it, we’ll be endeavouring to provide updates on our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

Good luck to the 44 players heading out to do battle for CCC this weekend. Carn the Negie!
