VALLEY'S GRAND FINAL FUNCTION - BE THERE!

Moonee Valley is celebrating the long-awaited move into our new pavilion with another exciting event - the AFL Grand Final.
It's being held on Saturday, September 28 (when else??) down at our Ormond Park ground, with a senior training session under senior coach Tony Gleeson (a Hawthorn supporter) beforehand to get everyone warmed up.
Festivities start at 1pm when the bar opens, and run through to late as we all watch the action on the big screens.
There's no admission price this year, and we'll be putting on typical Grand Final fare - a barbecue - at $2 for a snag and $2-plus for a burger.
Drinks are at bar prices, and we'll have a discounted Beer of the Week for tasting.
Our junior won't be neglected either, and we'll have drinks from the canteen.
We understand that a number of people have long-term traditional commitments to Grand Final functions, but they can come and join us when their celebration or commiseration winds down.
So be there or be square - and bring a friend or two.
Win, lose or draw (we understand a draw is out of the equation) - you'll have fun with your teammates and clubmates. Dress up in the colors of the competing teams, or of your own team that's not there this year (brown and gold is recommended but not compulsory).

New coach, new committee, new season, new clubrooms, new players - get on board

Coach Tony GleesonMoonee Valley Cricket Club enters the 2019/20 season on a roll - with a new coach, a revamped committee, our new $2.5 million showcase clubrooms, new players and a determination to get the job done.

We've got:

* A new and revamped committee running our club, with new members Liam Shaw and Joshua Gorry.
* Our $2.5 million new clubrooms - sure to be the envy of every other club in the region.
* New players - including Carlton Fourth Eleven premiership captain Sam Walker; Jacana club champion Sameera Vithana, Sri Lankan import Suraj Weerasinghe, and Sri Lankan international Nadeera Thuppahi, who starred at Moonee Valley several seasons ago.
* A core of returning players to build a First Eleven team around, including captain Jack Newman and Sri Lankan first class player Shiwantha Kumara.
* A group of exciting teens from our junior program, already pushing high into our senior grades.
There's a real buzz around Ormond Park.
Coach Tony Gleeson is keen for players to be challenged, so there are plenty of opportunities for more new players to come on board and push for spots.
So anyone keen to come down to - or come back to - Moonee Valley should phone Tony Gleeson on [contact via the club], Vice President Mark Gauci on [contact via the club] or President Charlie Walker on [contact via the club]. You can also email us at [email protected]
