The annual Over 60s cricket tournament held annually in Echuca is approaching in mid-March.
The local Sunbury Macedon Ranges Div 1 team hopes to build on last year’s success when it went undefeated but lost the grand final in a tough competition.
This year the local vets have gone undefeated while at the same time providing several players for the Australian and Victorian teams, including captain Peter Duderidge.
One highlight was three of their players representing country Victoria verus the touring England side, which resulted in a thrilling draw in Bendigo in January.
Several players have ‘matured’ from the Over 50s side and two of them have gone on to represent Victoria.
Man of the Match in the Victoria v SA Over 60s tournament in the Barossa Valley was Alan Ship. Victoria won the match. Alan Ship is a new recruit for Sunbury Macedon Ranges. Captain Dale Thornton with opposition players from Esssendon, chalking up another victory for the locals.
