OUR SEASON STARTS - A FUN NIGHT

The Moonee Valley 2025/26 season got under way with a club dinner at our long-time sponsor the Moonee Ponds Club on October 4.
The onfield start had already been delayed by a week due to lack of available pitches, but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm at our launch.
We combined the launch with our trophy presentation for our 2025 Mid Year Cricket Association winter season.
Our winter awards were: Batting Rohit Choudhary 155 runs @ 51.67; Bowling Sunny Singh with 11 wickets @ 16.18; Fielding Vansh Tandon; and Most Valuable Player Maks Rahman.
The voting for the MVP was: Maks Rahman 17; Aksha Perera 16; Sunny Singh 15; Rohit Choudhary 13; Javed Mushtaq, Lachlan Smith 11; Vansh Tandon 10; Gurinder Dhaliwal, Sagar Bhatia 9; Max Caspersz, Krish Kanchan, Tony Van Beek 4; Joe Adams 3; Jerome Caspersz, Indika Perera, Prashant Hirani, Kaushik Kalam 2; Ewan Campbell 1.

We had a strong second half to the winter season, with a couple of good wins coming late.
President Charlie Walker did the welcome, and outlined our expectations for the season ahead.
