All five Monbulk Cricket Club senior sides were on the park this week, with plenty of highlights.

The Seconds had another win and remain on top of the ladder with Josh Spencer making 57.

The Thirds also remain on top of the ladder after winning on the last ball of the match with Benny making 68.

The Fourths also continued their winning ways making a huge score of 4/279. This was highlighted by two father/son partnerships in the ’90s. Craig and Todd Mackay opened the batting putting on 95 runs before Chris and Jacob Defina combined for another 90 runs. This match also saw the return of an old favourite, Aaron Bowen after a 10 year rest.

Well batted also to our 5th XI co-captain Tom Badgery with a terrific knock of 83*
