There’s a bunch of photos – hopefully all players have been captured here.
Congratulations to all award winners! 
Thanks to Shannon for performing the junior co-ordinator role outstandingly.
Thanks to all coaches (Paul, Jim, Jarryd, Evan & Andrew).
Thanks to our junior program sponsors, Moe Racing Club, Domino’s Moe & McDonald’s Moe.
Thanks to the parents bringing your kids to the Moe CC.
We hope to see all players back next year
Our final wrap of junior results. Our 16’s improved immensely throughout the season, persisting playing short on numbers most weeks. From getting bowled out for 10 in their first match to a 2-day score of 148 & t20 score of 70, the team got better and better each week.
Thanks to Paul Cake for his great efforts coaching, Shannon Murphy for performing the junior co-ordinator role and to Moe Racing Club, Domino’s & McDonald’s Moe as our junior exclusive sponsors.
Unfortunately Paul did forget the final round group photo though. Hopefully all players are at junior presentation tonight and can get one there.
GCL U15’s
Brady Cake & Kye Micallef regularly represented the league in GCL this season.
Kye featured 4 times, making 28 runs and getting 4 dismissals with the gloves (2 catches, 2 stumpings)
In his 3 matches, Brady took 6/32 against SMCA on his way to 7 wickets @ 11.86. It was enough to see him qualify into the Gippsland u15’s GCL Team of the Year. Well done Brady
Senior Cricket
We saw Kye, Brady, Wyatt, Tyler, Hayden, Noah all play 16’s & senior cricket for Moe this year.
Wyatt, Tyler & Hayden will all make the full-time step from juniors to seniors next year and we hope they continue long careers as Lions (hopefully I haven’t missed anyone too).
Well done to all of our 16’s and hope to see you at tonight’s Junior Presentation.
The Blues & Maroons finished their seasons on Tuesday night with Mo-Clash II. The Maroons came away with the chocolates to do the double over the Blues in another game played in fantastic spirit.
The club fielded two sides in the same age group for the first time in a long long time. Hopefully they all stick around as the long term future of the Moe CC.
A massive thankyou to Evan Sheekey for coaching the Blues & Andrew Philip picking up the Maroon’s coaching gig once numbers warranted two sides.
Once again, Thankyou to Moe Racing Club, Domino’s & McDonald’s Moe as junior exclusive sponsors. 💐
Team photos below. Andrew & Evan have arranged a less formal event for the 10’s in lieu of a presentation night as such, taking place next Tuesday at Ted Summerton.
It came down to the final results of the season last night, but Under 14’s have narrowly missed out on finals despite a big upset win to finish the campaign.
🏏 Rd 8 – February started with a blow to the 14’s finals hopes with a loss to non-finalists Latrobe, the Sharks passing Moe’s score in the 17th over. It was considered more of a blow given Moe’s tough run home, facing the top 2 teams in the last 2 rounds.
🏏 Rd 9 – Centrals started strongly with 0/23 before an outstanding patch of Moe bowling in wet conditions saw a collapse of 8/10. After an 8 run ninth wicket stand (9/41), Dissanayake 19* & Howlett 6 put on a vital 32 run pairing for the final wicket, Moe letting their Lion counterparts off the hook. Punishment was compounded for Moe as they fell to 3/7 very early in their innings. Boothman 17 offered resistance & hope but Moe ultimately fell 15 runs short.
🏏 Rd 10 – the final round saw Moe needing to defeat league leaders Ex-Students and requiring Gormandale/Rovers to lose to Centrals & Mirboo North to lose to Latrobe. Two out of those three things happened. Moe upset Ex-Students to give themselves a chance, Gormandale/Rovers fell to Centrals by just 1 run which was required, but Mirboo North defeated Latrobe by 17 runs to finish 4th. Moe finish 5th.
Henry Boothman took 4 wickets & Logan Walsh took 2 in restricting Students to 120. Some strong batting saw Moe post 5/157, with big contributions from Walsh 44, Adrien Nardone 26, Darby Higgins 19* & Blake Savige 18* – the latter pair hitting the winning runs early in their unbeaten 44* run partnership.
A fantastic finish to the campaign for our Lion Cubs. Congratulations on your efforts this season. 👏
A massive thank you to Jim Keltie for his phenomenal efforts coaching this season.
Also thankyou to our junior exclusive sponsors, Moe Racing Club, McDonald’s Moe & Domino’s Australia for their support this season. 💐
February started with a very narrow loss to Mirboo North, going so close to their first win. A bye followed before a loss to Churchill (with improvement shown, scoring 140% of their score from the last meeting).
J.Romyn, J.Mobourne & K.Grose had strong February performances for Moe’s side.
Monday saw Morwell & Moe play an additional game between 6th & 7th whilst the semi finals were also taking place. Their last meeting was a close 11 run win to Morwell and we are proud to say our team managed to flip the result this time around and Moe 12’s claimed their first win since February 2023. Congratulations team!!!! 👏
Our U12’s team photo is also below. See if you can spot the coach from the kids 😂
Thankyou to Jarryd Atkinson for his efforts in once again coaching the U12’s. You’ve done a fantastic job.
Thanks to Moe Racing Club, Domino’s Moe & McDonald’s Moe for being juniors exclusive sponsors in 2024/25. 🦁
U10’s
Blues– picked up a win over Morwell Stars, went down to Toongabbie on the final ball and lost the Mo-Clash thriller to the Maroons
Maroons – I will results & picture once have the Imperials & Ex Students results. The Maroons beat the Blues in the first Mo-Clash in a long time.
Both teams are progressing well and enjoying their cricket. Great to see.
U12’s–
The 12’s had one of their closest matches against Morwell, going down by 11 runs. Logan (10*) & Jarryd (9rt) Mobourne top scored with the bat & Lachie Savige took 1/10.
Boolarra took a comfortable win courtesy of Rainer O’Brien’s 48*. Dylan & Kaleb Grose, Thomas Daly & Eliza Boothman all took a wicket each. Eliza (4) top scored with the bat in Moe’s innings.
The game against Willow Grove was abandoned due to heat policy.
The team continue to grow week by week.
U14’s–
The U14’s are tracking the strongest of the junior sides in terms of ladder position and took 2 more wins in December, to sit 5th, 3pts behind the top 4.
The Lions were sent in against Morwell, and posted a whopping 197. Adrien Nardone top scored with 41, with Henry Boothman (34*rt) & Blake Savige (26*rt) retired with strong scores. Darby Higgins also made 21. The following week, Morwell were bowled out for 81. Noah Keltie took a brilliant 4/9 with Brooklyn Fife, Logan Walsh, Nardone & Corey O’Brien all taking one wicket. Conner Gray (29) & Austin Shirreff (15) were the Tigers best.
It was the Nardone show again with the bat against Gormandale with Adrien posting 34*. Corey O’Brien & Blake Savige each made 8, the latter unbeaten. I did put up a post for this one at the time, Blake Savige was unbelievable with the ball, taking 5/7, three bowled, a caught & bowled and one caught by Nardone. Brooklyn Fife & Tyler Goyne each took one wicket. The Lions won by 12 runs.
U16’s–
The 16’s still are playing with less players than their opponents each week but continuing to fight it out.
It was a tough game against Willow Grove who won the toss and batted, with 12 named but only 8 players batting. Moe took 2 early wickets to reduce them to 2/2. Dylan Van Der Stoep 124* and Darcy Walsh 84 battered the undermanned Lions about, the latter retiring and returning once the rest of the Wolves were out. Eventually they closed at 7 out all out for 267 off 37.1 overs. Henry Boothman took 3 wickets for Moe. Moe made 7 out all out for 72, Wyatt Addison making 30. Nick Sallee took 3 wickets for the Wolves.
Moe went down by 50 to Raiders in the T20. Tyler Duff took two wickets with the ball. Kye Micallef top scored with 38* and Cooper Addison filled in with 16.
The Sunday one day game against Toongabbie was abandoned.
As I put on each of these posts, the future looks bright as long as they all stick around through the ages and into senior cricket . Go The Mo !!!
Wednesday December 18th- Standout Performance
Last night’s U14’s got the win over Gormandale, which included Blake Savige taking a stellar 5/7 off 3.5 overs, including a hat trick. Blake took the first two wickets of the innings early in the night, before the final over saw a run out followed by Savige taking his 3rd, 4th & 5th wickets in consecutive deliveries.
3 of his 5 wickets disturbed the furniture, one was caught in the field and another caught by himself off of his own bowling.
Congratulations Blake!
Tuesday Dec 17th @ Ted Summerton Reserve
Last night the two Moe U10’s teams faced off, getting to play on the hallowed turf of Ted Summerton Reserve. This is the first time in a long time that we’ve had two Moe teams in the same age group.
The game was played in high spirits and with good sportsmanship displayed throughout. In the end, Coach Philip’s Moe Maroons took a narrow 74-71 win over Coach Sheekey’s Moe Blues.
The teams will take to Ted Summerton again in Mo-Clash 2, in their final game of the season on February 25.
Under 10’s
Both Maroons & Blues are travelling strongly and yet to face defeat. Maroons are 4-0, Blues 3 wins & a washout from 4.
Three games to come in December highlighted by the Blues v Maroons on Ted Summerton Dec 17.
Due to a few out for injuries, change of interest etc. we do have a couple of spots available for 10’s aged kids.
Under 12’s
Still chasing that elusive first win but trying hard week in, week out.
Under 14’s
Sitting 6th at 2-2. Two games to play in December. Logan Walsh leading the way stats wise.
Under 16’s
Still need extra personnel in 16’s, relying on fill in’s and 14’s, and still playing short. Know anyone? Get in touch. 3 games in December, including this Sunday hosting leaders Toongabbie.
U16’s have gradually improved week on week. Cake & Micallef lead the way with the bat, whilst Duffy is leading the wickets tally. We are still playing with a few fill-in’s from U14’s. If you know of any kids aged in this bracket interested in cricket, get them involved.
U14’s split their first couple of games, with a win and loss following a bye. Logan Walsh leads the runs with wickets shared around.
U12’s unfortunately forfeited round 1 due to school camp unavailability. Round 2 they tried hard and never gave up against a strong Willow Grove side.
U10’s – both teams have had a bye, and defeated Morwell’s Renegades side in their first two weeks (no statistical trophies at league level in this grade, coaches Sheekey & Philip are keeping track for mid year & end of year updates).
Great to see the Lions future thriving with 5 juniors sides for the first time in a long time
