Round 3 wrapped up without Melbourne’s weather interfering! But, of course, it made its presence felt in the next round, leading to the rescheduling of Rounds 4 and 5, which you’ll know about by now. We also saw some great milestones, with Round 3 featuring Ray Stokes’ achievement of 200 games—a feat already mentioned in an earlier post—making him the newest member of our ‘200 Club.’ Congratulations again to Ray! Rounds 4 and 5 saw the following milestones celebrated. Congrat

Congratulations to Ray Stokes who is the newest member of our '200 Club'. In Round 3, Ray was teamed up with his son Frank to umpire his 200th game in the 1st XI match between Moorabbin and Plenty Valley. Ray is a life member of the VSDCUA and a popular and much respected member of our panel. We look forward to him toting up a lot more games!

A taste of 2 day cricket was most welcome. Unfortunately those games rostered for the Sunday's suffered a complete washout on Day 2. The weather gods also had a bit of a say towards the closing stages of the second day of a few of our Saturday games. A positive out of that is that some of our umpires got experience at administering the revised Pennant Rule 16, that we now operate under. Milestones keep coming and congratulations go out to Ian Wyatt on doing his 150th 1st X

Well, our season finally got underway with all games reverting to 1 day affairs. Paul Chipizubov one of many umpires who made their Subbie's debut during Round 1 The Recruiting Manager managed to boost our ranks with some 36 new umpires joining us, some new to the game, along with several experienced campaigners.  A warm welcome to all of you to Subbies Cricket!
