Pre-season training - it's in full swing
 Moonee Valley cricket - recruiting now
Moonee Valley is open to new senior and junior players leading in to 2023/24.
At right: Moonee Valley batsman/wicketkeeper Suraj Weerasinghe (centre right) was presented with his trophy at training by coach Mark Gauci. Suraj was selected in the VTCA Division 4 Team of the Year.
Our seniors are now training on Wednesdays from 5pm and Sundays from 11am - all sessions at our home ground at Ormond Park, Pattison St, Moonee Ponds.
We field men's teams on both turf and hard wicket, and both Saturday and Sunday grades.
Our premiership-winning women's cricket team plays in a Twenty20 competition on Sundays.
 We have juniors at Under 16, Under 14, Under 12 and Under 10 level, and these teams play Friday evenings.
Pre-season training is on Fridays for our juniors - for more information, see details under "Juniors" at the top of this page.
At left: More than two dozen players are turning out each week for the Ormond Park training sessions - Tom Janetzki (left) leads out to take a catch in the fielding drill.
Anyone interested in playing for Moonee Valley - seniors, juniors or our women's team - can phone or text Coach Mark Gauci on [contact via the club] , Junior Co-ordinator Paul Sevenson on [contact via the club] or President Charlie Walker on [contact via the club].

Our Moonee Valley Cricket Club AGM - outcome
The annual general meeting 2022/23 of the Moonee Valley Cricket Club Inc. was held on Monday, August 21 at the Moonee Ponds Club.
 Charlie Walker in his President’s Report outlined a number of highlights, including our 50th anniversary dinner, the elevation of club co-founder Ray Storey to Moonee Valley’s first official Legend, and the Premiership wins for our Fourths and our Women’s team.
The Fourths win was the second in three years under captain Manu Singh – and only the third in 40 years of Fourth Eleven cricket at the Valley. The women’s flag was our third in a row.
The meeting was told that both Treasurer Peter Golding and Secretary Michael Ozbun were stepping down from the Executive, after being part of a stable group for the past five seasons.
Treasurer Peter Golding reported a shortfall in the budget due to a range of factors, including loss of income from fielding two fewer teams than the previous year, the disastrous start to the season because of the weather, and low support for some fundraising functions. He said the income shortfalls were already being addressed.
Around 20 members attended, either in person or via a Zoom link.
The election of officebearers saw:
*Charlie Walker - President (above right ) - returned unopposed for his 16th season.
*Mark Gauci - Vice President - returned unopposed for his sixth season.
* Brendan “Jonty” Rhodes - Secretary – elected on the night.
*Allan Cumming - Treasurer - elected unopposed.
*Paul Sevenson – Junior Co-Ordinator – elected unopposed.
* Domenic Gibaldi – Sponsorship Manager – elected unopposed.
*Peter Golding – General Committee – Special Projects – elected unopposed.
*General committee members Dean Jukic, Andreas Skiotis, Paul Simon – returned unopposed.
*General committee members – Jack Newman, Luke Brock – elected unopposed.
The meeting showed strong support for greater female involvement in the running of our club, and recommended further canvassing of members for the committee. Any members interested should contact Charlie Walker on [contact via the club].
