VILLAWOOD EXTEND PARTNERSHIP

It is with great excitement that I can confirm that Villawood Properties have agreed to extend its major partnership with the Sunbury Cricket Club for season 2022/23 and beyond.

Villawood is committed to helping grow the Sunbury community through land development, but more importantly through community activities. Villawood recognises the role Sunbury Cricket Club plays within the Sunbury community and surrounding areas.

Over the past 5 years, Villawood has assisted our club in providing a family-friendly platform for the development of our junior girls, boys, senior women and men’s divisions.

With the appointment of a new coach, the turf wicket at Clarke oval and now the partnership with Villawood, the future looks brighter than ever.

Yours sincerely,

Brendan Doyle
