With the new season underway, the Old Wesley Cricket Club (OWCC) is buzzing with excitement, and we’re ready to build on last year’s successes. We are also looking forward to spending our Sunday afternoons with a lovely bunch of lads, enjoying the sunshine and playing good cricket.
Looking ahead, the club is also eagerly anticipating the next chapter in our international relationships. In January 2025, we’ll be hosting our friends from Mayo College here in Australia, giving us a chance to show them the best of OWCC hospitality, and to defend the trophy we brought home from India in January 2024. It’s a rare opportunity to strengthen our ties, compete on our home grounds, and make new memories.
A huge thank you to our committee members, Branford Gruar (OW2012), Rick Morris (OW2004), James Dowland (OW2016), Kyle Clarkson, Karen Sharkey and Oliver Browning (OW2011), for their tireless work behind the scenes. Also, thanks to Bree (current student) for helping us out with our socials.
We welcome all alumni and friends of OWs to join us as we kick off this exciting season. Whether you’re a seasoned player or looking for a fun, inclusive environment, OWCC has a place for everyone. Training is on Wednesdays at Wesley’s Glen Waverly Campus from 5:30pm and on Thursday evenings from 5:15pm on the Back Turf at the St Kilda Road Campus. Thursday night training is followed by a meal and drinks at a local pub.
For more information or to join the team, contact Rick Morris (OW2004), Head of Recruitment and team Captain on 0438 081 886. Let’s make this season one to remember. Go Wesley!
