Welcome back Lou!

WELCOME BACK LOU!

Our new coach appointment confirmed

Moonee Valley Cricket Club is pleased to advise of the appointment of Lou Raffaele as our senior coach for the 2016/17 season.

Lou Raffaele (right) coached Moonee Valley for four seasons from 2007/08 before stepping down for family reasons. His time as coach included our dual Firsts/Seconds Premierships in the North A Division in 2009/10.

Although he stepped down as coach, Lou continued to pull on the whites for Moonee Valley until last season, when he took up umpiring in the higher grades in the VTCA.

Our 2015/16 coach, Life Member Mark Gauci withdrew his application for the coaching role for next season because of family and work commitments. However, Mark was on the coach interview panel.

We shortlisted for interview three candidates from the eight applications we received for our coaching job, and Lou Raffaele ticked all the boxes.

Since his appointment was confirmed by our Committee, Lou has worked on some talent assessment scoping with a view to identifying our squad needs to get us back in the finals next season.

Please join the Club in welcoming Lou back to Moonee Valley - recognising that he has never really left us!
