Sunbury Cricket Club is very pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Treweek as 1st XI Captain for Season 2020/21.
Members of the club executive had been canvassing several quality applicants and are very pleased to make the appointment as Steve presented as the ideal candidate. Steve is highly respected within our club; he leads from the front and brings with him the enthusiasm required to take our club to the next level in 4th Division VTCA.
Steve started his cricket pathway with Sunbury CC having participated through the junior program from an early age and was a regular participant in junior representative cricket with the GDCA as an opening batsman. During season 2012/13 he demonstrated leadership and glimpses of a future star in the U16’s. That season he also worked his way through the senior grades and was rewarded with 1st grade selection for good performances at the top of the order. Since then Steve has rarely been missing from our senior team and has gone on to establish himself with true all-round capability and a leader within the team. He has performed admirably as Captain of our T20 team for several years.
Steve has had the fortune to play alongside experienced players such as Jason McGann, Heath Boffey and Brad Hunter who had identified his leadership potential and have been actively mentoring him along the way. Steve now has the opportunity to bring together his passion for the game and his his eagerness to lead the club while still being able to draw from experience within the group. He is looking forward catching up with players and members as soon as we are able.

It is with very mixed emotions I come to you with the following information. The VTCA have finalized their decision on the results of the grand finals that were cancelled this week. Under law E141.7 which then moves into law E141.8, if no first innings result is reached the game is deemed a draw. Where the match is deemed a draw, the team ranked higher leading into finals is declared the winner.
Based on this information, unfortunately our 1st eleven have will be deemed runners up.
But from this point we need to celebrate the fantastic achievement of our 2nd Eleven crowned Premiers for season 2019/20.
Congratulations to Samuel Fisher and all team members for a fantastic season and well deserved win.
As I stated at the top, we will all have mixed emotions. But let’s stick tight, and celebrate our 2nds victory. The club will advise in coming days some celebration plans.
