Last Thursday night, Monbulk’s junior club enjoyed a fantastic night at the MCG to watch a Big Bash match as well as support last season’s U14 premiers who were lucky enough to do a lap of honour before the match. Thanks to junior co-ordinator Steve Hooper for organising the event and the Melbourne Stars memberships for each junior player and the 50-odd Monbulk juniors and families that attended the event.
This weekend sees the return of all Monbulk teams (seniors, vets and juniors) after the Christmas break. Unfortunately last weekend the 3rds, 4ths and 5ths did not get to play after the league abandoned these matches due to the extreme heat. The 1sts and 2nds did get to play which was highlighted by the 2nd XI winning an exciting match by 1 run on the last ball of the match. Scores: Monbulk 7/167 (J.Fenby 52, A.Gillard 34, B.Trinnick 22) defeated Knoxfield 8/166 (D.Cleary 2/25, K.Storey 2/35, C.Haworth-Hooker 2/38)
