Another outstanding performance by our 1st XI last Saturday, this time with our bowlers being able to get the job done and bring home another great win to retain a top spot on the RMS ladder. It’s a massive game this week at Vermont Reserve in the last of the home & away matches where our 1’s will take on second placed Box Hill North Superkings who are just one game behind us. Whilst we have a home semi-final already locked in, this big match from Saturday is no doubt a finals preview and playing for a top spot finish.

Our 2nd XI have an equally big task ahead of them with a must win DMS match this last round to have a hope of holding a spot in the finals. A couple of disappointing results recently has put the 2’s down into fourth spot, but with a solid side on hand ready to go they are also taking on Box Hill North Superkings and are very positive in keeping their finals chances alive.

After being short on numbers coming out of Christmas, our 3rd XI are back at a good strength of players and great to see some positive results come out of the side recently. Unfortunately it looks like this round will be their last for the season as finals chances have slipped away, so hopefully they can finish off strong against Mitcham in the A Grade match this week

Our 4ths have done it pretty tough this season too, but still managed to put a team on the park each week with a mix of the young & old boys getting out there. A special mention to the team last week who acknowledged and paid respects to John Battaglia who sadly lost his brother and closest mate. We know it’s been a difficult time for JB recently, and a credit to everyone in and around our club for supporting John and his family, and it was fantastic to see JB able to get back out on the field last week. It’s also the last game for the 4’s this week as they take on Park Orchards. Dig deep fellas, let’s bring home that one last win.
