Two Ferntree Gully cricket players have been selected to be a part of the Australian Country Cricket Championships.
Coming in with the honour of being named Captain, Jake Toohey has been selected for the championships again alongside Josh Henry.
Ferntree Gully Cricket Club took to social media to congratulate their players on 30 November.
“A massive congratulations to Jake Toohey on again being selected to represent Victoria in the Australian Country Cricket Championships, this time with the added honour of being named Captain,” the post read.
“And another massive congratulations to Josh Henry who has also been selected to represent Victoria alongside Jake.”
“It is an amazing achievement to have two Ferntree Gully cricketers playing for Victoria at the same time. Go well guys!”
The Victorian Country Cricket League (VCCL) has two new coaches, and several new selectors including a new selection chair, a new captain of the men’s team and fifteen new players across both teams this year.
Both the open men’s and women’s titles in the Barossa Region in January 2025
Last year saw the women’s squad beaten by Queensland in last season’s final in Newcastle while the men led the table into the last day before losing to New South Wales unfortunately allowing Queensland to snatch that title as well.
Luke Manders and Tammy Norquay have assumed the respective men’s and women’s coaching roles from Peter Buchanan and Keith Jansz who both won championships during their tenures.
“Congratulations to those who have been selected in the squads for 2025,” read a social media post by VCCL.
