Four Monbulk Cricket Club Juniors represented the Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association (FTGDCA) in the recent VMCU carnival, with Grace Hourigan playing in the U17 girls team, Lucas McIntosh (who was named captain) and Sam Blenkiron playing in the U16 team and Will Blenkiron in the U14 team.
In the first match, Lucas McIntosh made his first ever century against the Eastern CA, making 100 retired from 106 balls which included a massive 226 run partnership with Upwey-Tecoma’s Oskar Taylor who also made a century.
Junior Blasters co-ordinator and 1st XI player Tom Watson organised for some lucky Blasters kids to attend the fourth day of the recent Boxing Day Test match at the MCG, with the kids and parents enjoying the amazing experience.
Monbulk Cricket Club’s junior Stars will head to the MCG on Thursday 12 Jan and participate in a lap of honour for last season’s U14 premiers.
The first match back for all seniors teams will held on Saturday 14 January, with all juniors re-commencing the following week.
