VECC Blacks Impressive Over Tough GRH Outfit

The VECC C5 Blacks managed to score its second victory in a row on the weekend against the much fancied GRH. Batting first the GRH scored an impressive 174 on the blacks new home ground of Marks Oval at Floraville. Impressive bowling again from Chris Watt 3/19 after being belted for a 6 of only the second ball of the game a great comeback to record these figures from 10 overs. Reece Woodcroft again after some early punishment finished with the impressive figures of 3/39 off 10 overs. In trouble chasing the runs at 5/74 and impressive 80 run partnership between opening batsman Matt Vella and captain David Jackson (33 runs) stabilised the innings resulting in a one wicket victory with 3 overs to spare. The most impressive display of the day was by Matt Vella hitting 116 not out and sending balls to every corner of the ground. The boys got there in the end but only just expect a lot tougher opposition the next time we play them. See below some photos from the game. Photos courtesy of www.windingcreek.net.au. Points 3 Matt Vella, 2 Chris Watt, 1 Reece Woodcroft.

VECC Team Black Start Season 09/10 with a victory

Well its been a long time coming and with record registrations the VECC machine started its 09/10 campaign on Saturday with some mixed results. The newest team in the club the blacks kicked of the season with a victory against Dora Creek at Rathmines. Loosing the toss and starting in the field the blacks started the wicket haul early in the game thanks mainly to opening bowling pair of Chris Watt & Matt Clancy who ended up collecting 2 wickets each. New club member Reece Woodcroft demonstrated he will be a force to be reckoned with this season collecting 5/2 off 6 overs. Dora Creek were all out for 64 thanks also to some impressive catching from Matt Vella with 3 catches. The VECC batting started shaky as expected with no formal lineup as yet. The inning was stabilised and eventuially won by Matt Vella and Alan Rashid finishing with 22 and 16 not out respectfully.

Players of the match points Reece Wooldcroft 3 points on debut, Alan Rashid 2 points again on debut and Matt Vella 1 point.

On to a home game at our new ground on Saturday Marks Oval v The General Roberts.
