Round Two: the teams

Hello all,

After a successful round one, with four out of five wins, we’re into the second round of the season.

Firstly, a few milestone games this round (we’re in for a few this year!):

Former winner of the John Feehan Best Clubman award, 1st XI batsman extraordinaire, junior coach and club Assistant Coach — yep, he’s pretty important to Elwood — Nathan Harris, is playing his 100th game for Elwood. Congratulations Nanger! He’s the second Harris — after older brother Matt —to achieve this. The club looks forward to Leon and Lachy joining this list in the coming years!

Also, fire-brand Jack Belkin plays his 50th game this week for Elwood. Congratulations Jacky! 50 games of giving your all on the field mate and bowling blokes around their legs.

We’ve also got three father/son combinations this round. Good luck to Leon and Lachy Harris, Mick and James Roberts and Carey and Luther Lyon!

And congratulations to Alex Mitchell (twin brother of Hamish) for making his senior debut!

And we would be remiss not to tip our hat to the fine efforts of Phil Tuner, Nathan’s dad, for cooking a delectable Chinese feast of Mongolian beef for the cricket club last night.

Let’s get five wins boys.

Go Elwood.
