Lou lines up to coach Valleys this season

Moonee Valley has a new coach for season 2007/8, with Lou Raffaele (left) joining us as playing coach.
Lou's career dates from 1984/85, and he's seen success with St Paul's CC (now known as Seabrook), West Newport, Bellbridge (now known as Hoppers Crossing) and East Coburg.
Moonee Valley well remembers Lou from East Coburg - as a century in the semi-final knocked Moonee Valley out of the fight for the flag in what was our last season with our top two turf sides in the MMVCA before moving to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association.
In 2005/06 Lou joined Epping in the Diamond Valley league and made the grand final. Lou took a break from cricket in 2006/07 to relax the body and enjoy the birth of his son. Our MVCC bylaws require us to advertise the coach's position each season. Last year's coach, Vik Chand, did not reapply.
