Marnoo claims WMCA premiership
It was not the way they would have liked to win, but Marnoo has secured the Wimmera Mallee Cricket Association (WMCA) premiership following the weekend’s match being washed out.
Play was scheduled for Saturday, but rain overnight forced the game to be abandoned to their reserve day on Sunday. The match was abandoned on Sunday without a ball bowled, and by finishing on top of the ladder, Marnoo were declared victors.
The WMCA held their presentations announcing award winners and the team of the year. The team of the year was: Luke Mitchell (Southern Mallee Giants), Daniel Tatarskjy (Watchem), Nic Baird – WK (Marnoo), Riley Doran – C (Birchip), Jacob Patching – VC (St Arnaud), Srikanth Reddy Kasaram (Southern Mallee Giants), Billy Sexton (Charlton), Connor Lee (Birchip), Connor Boyle (Watchem), Jimmy Duxson (Marnoo), Jonty Randall (Birchip), Morgan Greenaway (St Arnaud)
Riley Doran was named the Champion Player of the season, and was also awarded the batting average and aggregate awards with 430 runs at an average of 71.67.
Jonty Randall was awarded the bowling aggregate and average awards with 17 wickets, with an average of 9.35.
St Arnaud's George Greenaway won the Junior Country Week Under-13 award, Donald’s Oakley Brennan won the Under-15 award, and Charlton’s Leigh Van Boven won the under-17 award.
