Webb-Johnson/Pascu Cup 2025

The Cup was first contested in 2020/21 following the passing of Moonee Valley's Heath Webb-Johnson and Moonee Ponds' Gary Pascu, and both clubs saw the need to promote and highlight men's health.

It is a perpetual reminder of two loved and respected players and mates no longer with us.
Both clubs had been hit hard by the loss of much-loved members to men's health issues in recent seasons, and determined to stand up and be counted. The inscription on the cup says everything - "their passion and legacy transcends cricket and will be forever celebrated".
Up to last season we contested the Cup each time we met in the regular VTCA season, but as Moonee Valley is now in a higher grade we agreed to play off-fixture on a training night.
