THE Monbulk 1st XI was back on the winners’ list with two Twenty20 wins this week.
They defeated Knox Gardens on Tuesday night in the opening match of this competition.
They then backed it up on Saturday in an exciting match against Belgrave, which came down to the last ball.
Skipper Shane Cosstick opened the batting making a magnificent 65 before bowling the crucial last over.
This topped off a great week for Cosstick, who took four wickets and made runs in Tuesday’s Twenty20.
In a new exciting format, the 2nd XI also played a Twenty20 before the 1st XI on Saturday, which made for a great day.
There were no other senior or junior matches this weekend due to the Melbourne Cup weekend.
All teams are back on board next weekend including our two new Under 10s teams as well as the first Milo in2cricket session.
