SONS OF GUNS

The next generation is taking over Moonee Valley!
Our Under 14 team didn't make the finals, but in their last game for the season on February 13 they won outright. It was a great effort.
Xavier Manson and Logan Shrestha both made 50s to chase down the target of 117 in the second innings. It was Logan's first ever 50, and Xavier's second half-century, but first for MVCC.
At right: Young guns closing out the season: L-R Brad and Xavier Manson, and Logan Shrestha with dad Chand.
Xavier who is predominantly a wicket keeper had his first bowl of the season and took 2/10 off 4 overs and also took a catch and a stumping.
Logan is the son of Chand Shrestha, who has played in our Firsts but has spent most of this season in the Thirds in Sunday turf A Reserve.
Xavier is the son of Brad Manson, and both play together in the Moonee Valley Fifths - Xavier as our first-choice wicketkeeper.
They're not the only sons of guns to take the field at Moonee Valley this season: Geoff McKeown has played with sons Oscar and Oliver, Jason Walsh has played with sons Jordy and Riley, and Paul Sevenson has played with sons Jeremy and Luke.
Indika Perera and son Aksha have played together; Pat Taylor and son Nick have played in the Fifths and Women's team Premiership player Sandra Verschoor has played at Ormond Park on the adjoining ground to son Joshua Norsetter in the Thirds.
