MATHEW HIBBS joins the Den !!!!
The Moe Cricket Club is proud to welcome Mathew Hibbs to the Lions Den as our new captain/coach for 2025/26 and hopefully beyond.
A Newborough local originally, Mat progressed through the juniors to A Grade level at the Bulldogs before applying his trade at Casey South Melbourne in Premier 3rds & 4ths. Mat also represented Gippsland Pride in his progression in cricket. Hibbsy returned to the Latrobe Valley in the TDCA initially with Imperials & for the last eight seasons at Gormandale, making the A Grade Team of the Year on 4 occasions and was last season’s A’s Division Player of the Year.
Matt boasts a career record of 6000+ runs with over 3000 at A Grade level (2420 approx at Gormandale). No slouch with the ball either, Hibbsy has over 50 First Grade wickets also.
Along with Mat, we wish a big welcome to Mat’s wife Shinae and kids Joey & Zara to join the Lions Pride.
Lastly, we send thanks again to outgoing 24/25 coaches Steve Mesaric & Paddy Spiteri. Mez will be staying on as training co-ordinator
Welcome Mat!
