JUNIOR PREMIERSHIP

Our Under 12s claimed our first junior premiership in six seasons and our first Under 12

premiership since 2005/2006. The Grand Final was played at Lalor Stars and we had plenty of

support from parents and members. Batting first, Lalor Stars, were restricted to just 118 by some

very tight bowling and strong fielding. Grace Wake was the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 13 off

5 overs. We were always in control during the chase and passed Lalor Stars without losing a

wicket. Gurnaz Khatra (50 retired not out), Aryan Sharma (26 not out) and Riley Gaylard (24 not

out) all batted superbly. A terrific effort by the players and a special thanks to their coach Matt

Harris for showing so much dedication and bringing the whole team together throughout the

season.

Paul ‘Fella’ Borg became the fifth Mill Park player to reach the 200 game milestone for the

Heading towards 2016/2017…

Leigh Stewart reappointed and will also captain the first XI

Our club coach, Leigh Stewart, has been reappointed for season 2016/2017. Leigh will also captain

the First XI next season as we move back to the traditional captain/coach position for next season.

Leigh is already well progressed in appointing his coaching support structure and pre-season plans

for next season.

Annual General Meeting – Wednesday 4th May at 7:00pm

Our AGM will be held at the club rooms on Wednesday 4th May at 7pm. The committee will present

the annual report including financials for the past 12 months. The committee will also be elected

at his meeting.

It is an important night to hear how the club is performing, have your opportunity to provide input

and for any interested people to nominate to be on the committee in 2016/2017.

There are two important topics for the night. The vote on introducing a new constitution (details on

the website) and our intent to introduce a junior cricket sub-committee formed by junior parents.

We welcome all junior parents to attend the AGM, particularly, if interested in being apart of the

junior committee.

New Apparel and in need of Major Sponsors

Next season, the committee is looking at introducing new playing apparel. This gives new sponsors

an opportunity to be promoted on the front and back of our players, giving them outstanding

exposure around the Diamond Valley area.

We are looking for five major sponsors to partner with the club for next season and beyond. These

packages are $2500 - $5000 to be a major sponsor of the club and have their logo on our playing

apparel. If you know of any interested businesses please contact the President, Rob Knee, as soon

as possible.
