We are thrilled to announce that Dean Alexander has accepted the position of club coach for the 2024-25 season. Dean is a dedicated stalwart of the Moonee Ponds Cricket Club who has consistently given his time to nurture the new batch of players coming through. His effort last year as coach was remarkable, as he was able to turn around the club’s fortunes with his dedication and attention to detail in getting to know each of the players. He is a polished mentor and motivator, with cricket acumen that is second to none. We are very thankful that Dean has committed to the club. We look forward to “Podge” working with all the players to make them better again this season.

We are thrilled to announce that Patrick Didham has accepted the position of 1st XI Captain for the upcoming 2024-25 season! 🏏
Over the past two seasons, Patrick’s leadership has been nothing short of exceptional, skillfully navigating every challenge that has come his way. He has led from the front, producing outstanding numbers with the bat and setting high standards both on and off the field.
Please join us in congratulating Patrick on this well-deserved appointment and let’s get behind him for a fantastic season ahead! 👏

An enjoyable afternoon at the Moonee Ponds Club where we celebrated the individual on-field achievements and acknowledged the volunteer efforts that keep the club running.

Taking out the top awards for batting and bowling for the 1st XI was Zac Bateman, and after that it was no surprise that he took out Club Champion as well.

Best Clubman went to Wayne Hinsley – a fitting award for the efforts Wacca put in during the season to provide training night dinners.

All in all, it was great to see the talent coming through the grades in the Club, which bodes well for future success.

The Club would like to thank Centreway Cellars IGA in East Keilor for their continued sponsorship of our Club.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

We would like to thank Squad for coming on board as a sponsor for our club this season.

They provide a range of services for managing businesses, recruiting staff and also for job-seekers.

Welcome!

We have been enjoying good numbers to our regular Thursday night training sessions at Ravenhall Indoor Centre, and the hard work is showing.

We have two lanes for two hours, starting at 6:00pm and finishing at 8:00pm.

The address is Unit 2/56 Barretta Rd, Ravenhall.

Outdoor training dates yet to be announced, but we will continue the indoor sessions until the end of September, so get there and get ready!

The Committee would like to formally announce the appointment of Patrick (Dids) Didham as the captain of the 1st XI. Dids has been playing senior cricket with us since he was 11 years old and has always been a prodigious talent, skippering junior sides with great maturity through to the U17.5s where he made hundred after hundred.

Dids, over the past 4 years has been under the wing of Adam White as an opening bat. In this time every season has seen great improvement, culminating in Did’s best season to date, which was the one just finished.

A classy left-handed bat and gun fielder that bowls left arm donkey drops, last year saw Dids stand up as a leader.

We are super proud and wish him well in his first year as Skipper.
