THIS Saturday will see all Monbulk senior teams play their last home and away match with some still playing for a finals berth.
Next weekend also sees the last matches for the Under 10s, Under 11s and Under 16s, with a semi-final at least for the Under 16s.
Well done to the Under 12s and Under14s teams that played in their semi-final, both unfortunately losing after great seasons.
Under 14s Campbell Dennison (pictured) hitting out in the last round.
The club’s Milo in2Cricket program also finishes this Friday night.
This Saturday is also a big day/night at the Monbulk Cricket Club.
It is the annual Ladies Day afternoon in the Logcabin between 4pm-6pm.
Mark Fenby will be playing his live acoustic tracks, and afternoon tea will be served.
All wives, partners, sisters, mums and friends are welcome.
The 1st XI will be playing their last one-day match v Ferntree Gully, so all the dads and kids can come and watch that and/or have a hit in the nets.
The life members and past players have also been invited to watch the 1st XI. After the match, there will be match reports at 7pm, then at 7.30pm there will be a finger food buffet and Mark Fenby will continue to play his music.
So a big afternoon and night planned to celebrate the end of the home and away season.
The club would love to see everyone there.
