PAST PLAYERS ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER
Hello <<First Name>> <<Last Name>> 

The last two season has been an exciting time in the history of the Monash University Cricket Club, in 2014 the Monash Gryphons Cricket Club was formally renamed to Monash University Cricket Club, and moved to the Clayton Campus, while maintaining a team at East Caulfield Reserve.  In 2016 the club reached out to members of the previous Monash University Cricket Club who were merged in 2002, with the idea to recognise both club’s proud history moving forward.  

Last season the club started a new women’s team, after a 5 year hiatus, with a team entered in Cricket Victoria’s women’s community cricket competition - southern division.  At the first committee meeting of 2017/18 season, the club committee have agreed to begin the creation of an official Past Players and Supporters Association.

Coaching News
In season 2017/18 the club’s 5 male teams will be coached by Harshad Dixit, who is continuing in the role from last season.  Harshad is a former player at Greenvale Kangaroos Cricket Club and Plenty Valley Sub District Cricket Club.  The male teams will be based at Monash University Clayton on the remaining turf wicket, with a limited overs side on the hard-wicket at East Caulfield Reserve.  The top four turf sides compete in the Mercantile Cricket Association, Melbourne’s progressive turf competition, which plays from Moonee Ponds to Endeavour Hills.

In season 2017/18 the club is excited to announce our new women’s coach will be Stuart Bendall who played at Fitzroy Cricket Club, Coburg Sub District Cricket Club, and coached at the Salvation Army Cricket Club.  Stuart joins the club with a wealth of experience and looks forward to building on the success of our women's team from last season.

Past Players Events
Similar to last season the club will hold a veteran’s match, and a past players day were lunch will be provided.  These dates will be released once our fixture is finalised in late September.  

MyCricket Update

The club committee has been working hard on entering as many old scorebooks as possible into MyCricket (Cricket Australia’s cricket database).

Monash University Cricket Club (1962-2002)

Monash University Gryphons Cricket Club (1990-2017)

There is a number of outstanding books we have not entered yet, and also a number of books that are missing.  As we move towards completing all existing books, we get closer to having a complete history of both clubs.

The Chancellor’s Cup Golf Day raises funds for Monash University affiliated sporting clubs, where when a golf team enters and nominates our club as their club of choice then the entry money will be donated to club.
