Our Firsts unfurl their flag 

It might have been unconventional and probably couldn't be classified as a win for the ages, but Moonee Valley has brought home our 13th First Eleven premiership.
In a finals campaign dominated by the coronavirus pandemic, we were the beneficiaries of the hard work during the season which saw us claim top spot on the ladder.
So when the decision was made to scrap Days 3 and 4 of the Grand Final due to health concerns, Moonee Valley as the top team won the flag.

We'd started steadily enough on Day 1 of the March 14,15,21 & 22 Grand Final and held Sunbury to just over 200, and got them out for 232 early on Day 2. 
Then a horror half hour set in and we lost 5/1, with the first run coming as a bye. 
Our first runs off the bat were scored by No. 7 Joshua Gorry. 
Then Joshua bunkered down with Anthony Cafari and they ground out a 71-run partnership before Caf fell late in the day. 
We lost two more wickets before finishing Day 2 at a jittery 8/78. 
The boys were resolute that we could turn around a first innings deficit if needed in the second half of the game, but coronavirus intervened and with no further play, Moonee Valley won on the basis of an imcomplete first innings.
