Our Senior Teams Week 17 - February 4/5: Dean Lawson's 200th game

2022/23 Week 17 - February 4/5

Dean Lawson (pictured) plays his 200th game for Moonee Valley this weekend - in the Fifths at Kensington. Deano has been a wonderful clubman since first pulling on the whites for Moonee Valley in 2006/07.

Dean has scored more than 5000 runs for the Valley - the eighth-most of all time - and has won batting awards in the Thirds, Fourths, Sixths and Eighths. He has four tons to his name - and Deano is one of only four players to have hit a double-century for the Valleys.

Congratulations on a great career - and it won't be over any time soon.

Don't forget - spread the word among partners/friends about our Ladies Day Luncheon this Saturday, February 4 - at the Ormond Park clubrooms. Part of the proceeds go to charity, and it's a good chance to connect with other women associated with our club. Details - on our website www.mooneevalleycricket.com.au

And our 50th anniversary celebrations on February 25 - tickets are selling fast, and the organising committee is now talking about when they need to close off sales and put a cap on tickets - so don't delay and book now. Details also on the website.
