Our condolences on the passing of Mark Wylie

The Moonee Valley Cricket Club joins with the Moonee Valley Football Club in passing on our condolences to the Wylie family on the passing of Mark.

Mark and Louise’s three sons, Daniel, Nick and Sam played a combined 60 games of junior cricket at Moonee Valley.

Mark was a regular at the junior cricket games, particularly the Friday night home matches when there was an opportunity to relax at the end of the week with other parents.

Our Club is saddened by his passing.

Below is a tribute written for the Football Club by our MVCC Fourths captain Brett Curran – a close friend of Mark.
