Last call for women's players

We're starting to run out of time to pull together our women' team for the current season, following the moving on of several players due to injury, family reasons or relocation to country or interstate.

It would be unfortunate if we didn't get the opportunity to defend our premiership due to a shortage of players.

Now's the chance for wives, partners, mums, sisters and friends of male cricketers, as well as any girls or women keen on trying the sport to step up and show the blokes how it's done, and help the club to win back-to-back flags.

Our team - aged from 13 upwards and including mums - play on Sundays, with our home ground at Ormond Park in Moonee Ponds.

Experience isn't required - the majority of the players in our team last season were new to cricket - but they gelled together and improved every week.

Most matches start at midday, and take around two to three hours. The club has cricket gear available so the players don't have to go out and buy a kit. Our uniform is a white club cricket shirt and black skins.

Anyone interested can phone or text MVCC President Charlie Walker on 0411 705 381 or email charlie.walker@optusnet.com.au
