Top of the Ladder after 2!
by
We're the ladder leader with 1sts & 2nds
Moonee Valley's Firsts and Seconds have both gone to the top of the ladder after the first two rounds this season, even though we won promotion to a higher grade.
Both teams have won two games out of two - and the Firsts won both matches emphatically, dispatching last year's Grand Finalist Avondale Heights in Round 1, and then passing the fancied St Albans just two wickets down in Round 2.
The Seconds have had closer games, but have still been in control throughout.
Coach Lou Raffaele (left) said it was pleasing that our players had shown they had the capacity to step up in the North A grade.
"While it's an achievement to be on top of the ladder, we have to remember that there will be plenty of challenges coming our way," Lou said.
"I'll be impressing on the players that good teams need to go the whole journey - and that winning two one-day games is just the first part of what our players need to do to take the next step.
"The players can take some satisfaction out of the first two rounds, but we need to immediately put them behind us and ensure we continue to focus on the games coming up."
