1sts Day 3
A disappointing end to the season with the Islanders falling 29 runs short. Despite a fantastic knock by Skipper Scotty Phillips (100) we just couldn't get over the line. Scrappy (20) made just 1 more before he was caught behind. Sarge (0) was given out LBW but he says he hit it, Bails (0) was caught in the gully. Lamby (5) hung around for a while also but was bowled. Bickers (6no) came to the crease and held an end while Scotty tried to knock off the runs. They put on 48 for the last wicket and great effort, until Scotty was bowled. Well done boys you put on a great show for the great Long Island crowd.
Congratulations must go to Heatherhill who fought out the game till the end.

1sts Day 2
Heatherhill fought hard 2nd day managing to get their score to 237. Some good bowling by Scotty (5/95) and Arnie (2/99) finished them off.
We got off to a shakey start losing Stuart McLeod for 1, Meash and Burkey battled hard before Meash (13) dabbled at one and was caught behind, Burkey (22) followed soon after from a great catch in the gully by Mathew Meagher, he also caught Joel Stevenson (5) aswell. Arnie came to the crease and within the 1st couple of balls copped one on the helmet, maybe this rattled because he was out a couple of balls later after a mix up with Scotty and he was run out. Stuart Doolan and Scotty battled hard until the end with Scrappy being dropped in the last over.
Next week should be a ripper with the game evenly poised.

A great effort from the 5ths today but unfortunately they just couldn't get over the line. We bowled first containing Seaford Tigers to 140 with some great bowling from Trev Allcott, Brad Phillips and Marty O'Brien. We lost a couple of quick wickets, but Brad and Rev steadied the ship for a while but when Brad was caught behind and Rev caught on the boundary we knew our batters had to bat well. Marty O'Brien batted superbly making 20 or so, but unfortunately we just couldn't get the runs losing by 8. A great effort from all the boys, well done!

The 1sts won the toss and decided to have a bowl and it paid off getting Heatherhills' top 3 cheaply. Arnie (1) and Scotty (2) bowled superbly. Lamby (3) was first change and tightened the screws with Bickers also bowling a good spell. Meash unfortunately did a groin so was forced from the field allowing Striker the 12th man to have a run. At tea it was 6/90. Bails bowled well for his 2 overs but Scotty decided to take the new ball so Arnie and Scotty came back on. But a fight back from Heatherhill saw them finish for the day at 6/164. Day 2 should be a ripper, get down to Mornington and support the boys.

Congratulations To Michael Phillips who got his 50th wicket in the 5ths Semi Final.

Semi Finals Day 2
The 1sts finally got to play, we lost the toss and were sent in, we got off to a shakey start losing 2 quick wickets but Burke continued his great form with a well compiled 51. Arnie was the other star with the bat smashing the ball all over the park with 6 big sixes, one landed on the clubroom roof (Bickers was the saviour of the day having to go up and get it). Overall a very defendable score of 213. Baxter got away to a good start not losing their first wicket till 46, it wasn't until the introduction of Lamby and his magic full bungers that we got our first wicket. Lamby bowled tight all day and finsihed with 3/39. Bickers also bowled a treat and finished with 3/28. This was probably the 1sts best fielding effort for the year with no drop catches and 2 run outs.
The 1sts will play Heatherhill next week after they knocked over Ballam Park.
The 2nds battled hard but unfortunately just couldn't get over the line losing by 1 wicket. Moose finished with 2/56 off 17, Tex 1/34 off 16, Middo 2/34 of 13, Boo 2/32 and Harry, Davey, Bazza or is it Spider Pig continued his good bowling with 2/28 off 17.
The 4ths unfortunately couldn't get the wickets they needed and conceded the game with Langy reaching 8/320
Some photographs of the 1sts and 4ths will be available hopefully in the next couple of days.

Semi Finals Day 1
The 1sts were called off on the first day due to the council leaving the sprinklers on all night, therefore a 57 over a team starting at 10 am Sunday.
T he 2nds traveled down to Sorrento and after a shakey start Tommy and Grey Skull stedied the ship to get the side to 194, good tail ender batting also from Dave "Tex" Phillips.
The 4ths were rolled for 65 by Langwarrin and in reply have them 4/168 over night, some good bowling by Boagy just couldn't get any more wickets. The boys are going to come back tomorrow to hopefully get some early wickets, have a bat and then get Langy out cheaply again, good luck boys.
The 5ths are our first senior team to make the finals after a great win against top of the table Tyabb, Tyabb lost two games for the year in the home and away season, both to the Island so despite finishing 4th we went in favourites to top of the table Tyabb. The boys batted first and made 9/186 with good batting from Brad Phillips 70 and Michael Phillips 29no, with the ball it was shared around with Brad 3-33, Jonesy 2-12 Michael 2-19 and Hatchy 2-14. The boys play Seaford Tigers next week.

A great weekend for the island with the 1sts knocking off top spotters Ballam Park Scotty Phillips the pick of the batters with 81 and burke 29, Bickers for his first game this year in the 1sts snared 4/34.
The seconds also defeated Ballam Park with the Wizard getting back to his spell binding tricks with 3/29 and Tex 4/56. It was Stiker 77no and Middo 77 with the bat that proved the difference.
The 3rds probably had their best and worst season to date with some great wins and some demoralising defeats none better than today with the team dropping atleast 10 to 15 catches and as they say catches win matches and guess what we didn't win this one Parksy and Laurie Hall where the pick of the bowlers and Webby, Woggo and Hally again the pick of the batters. This loss puts the team out of the finals.
The 4ths had a great win against Somerville which cemented their 2nd spot place.
Next week:
1sts will play Baxter at Home
2nds will play Sorrento at Sorrento (David MacFarlan Reserve)
4ths will play Langwarrin at Home
5ths will play Tyabb at Tyabb (Tyabb Central Recreational Reserve)

Congratulations to the Under 13 Central's who defeated mt Eliza in the Semi Finals, they now play Seaford Tigers in the Grand Final. Against Mt Eliza Todd Dewhurst made 29 while Ryan Williams got 3/8. Good luck next week boys.

Great result for the 1sts on the weekend defeating Langwarrin easily Flipper 4/34 and Arnie 3/27 got the wickets
The 2nds kept their final hopes alive with a tight victory over Langy with Moose 4/64 and Tex 3/38. Results have to go their way next week if they are to make the Semi's (Baxter play Peninsula OB who are tough to beat and heatherhill play Crib Point, the two game we need to watch)
The 3rds suffered a very disappointing defeat it was only BK with 64 who really valued his wicket the rest of the team gave away cheap wickets. Its now in their own hands having to defeat Skye next week to make the Semi's with the winner getting the last spot.
The 4ths missed out on the outright but still got a great win Hatchy finished with 71no and Macca 2/11 in the 2nd innings.
The 5ths also had a great win against Ballam Park.
Must win games by the 2nds and 3rds next week.

Round 10 has started with some great individual performances. Starting at the top with Burke (117) and Flipper (100) both getting hundreds against Langwarrin, Stuey McLeod also making a well compiled 59.
The seconds battled hard to get to 230 thanks to Swampy making 76, he and Dave (The Wizard) Barrett put on 68 runs for the last wicket partnership. Weare also chipped in with 32 in the top order and grey Skull 31.
The 3rds probably played a game they wish they could forget. Steve (Flipper) Phillips was the pick of the bowlers with 4/43. It was a very long day.
The 4ths was the Macca game with Craig getting a hat trick in his spell of 8 overs 5 maidens 5 for 9 runs. Woggo made 42 in the chase for quick runs to look at the sides 4th Out right for the season.
The 5ths won quite convincingly with Brad Phillips making sure his brother didn't get all the pats on the back making 107no and Daniel Heyne 63no.
Congratulation also to Arnie who in the Country Week game got a hat trick against Ballarat (7/27)
Congratulations also to the Under 13 who have made the Semi Finals.
Congratulations Michael Burke 4000 runs.

What a great Round for the Island 5 wins with three of those being Outright wins, one would think this was a club record, 3 in the one round.
The 1st defeated Mornington with Finny scoring 40, Flipper 59no and Arnie 32no, this win keeps us in the 4 at 2nd spot.
The 2nds defeated Mornington Outright with Scooby scoring a well needed ton 107 and Boo 66no, Bickers was the destroyer with the ball with 6/24.
The 3rds won Outright against Mt Martha, Laurie Hall was the destroyer with the ball with some great off spin bowling fininshing with 5/21, Mt Martha tried to block out the day the the flight was just too much for them. Should mention Parksy's effort, needing one run to win he begged Laurie to bat because it was his birthday, went out and made a second ball duck. (we only needed 1 run to win Parksy)
The 4ths had the last Outright win with a very exciting finish with most of the club cheering them on.After bowling Mt Martha out for 170 in the second innings with Boagy the destroyer 5/29 we needed to make 100 of 10 overs. Marty Kelly was the hero scoring an unbeaten 55no. Woggo hit the winning runs though when he went to the crease with no pads, gloves or box.
The 5ths also had a great win bowling Heatherhill out for 75 and making easy work of the scorecard despite losing a few wickets.
Next week should see some very interesting selections with all teams viaing for the finals with a number of players unavailable.

Round 9 looks up for the Islanders. The 1sts contained Mornington to 197, with Scotty taking 4/60 and Lamby 4/62, Bails got the other and one retired hurt with a broken wrist. In reply we are 1/12 Meash being the unfortunate one being caught off the arm (yes it was off the arm Meash showed everyone the bruise and I mean everyone)
The 2nds needed a strong result in their game against Mornington and that they got bowling them out for 136 Bickers the pick of the bowlers with 3 and reaching his 200th Senior wicket, Moose 2 and Striker 2. In reply we are 1/97 with Stuart Doolan getting some much needed runs with 56no.
The 3rds continued their great form bowling Mt Martha out for 75 with Parksey 3/48, Flipper Phillips 3/16 and Khanny 4/7. In reply we declared at 5/182 with the dropped 2nds players scoring the runs Middo 46, T-Shirt Tommy 59 and Jazzy Jeff 43no. We had 8 overs at the at the end of the day but unfortunately we couldn't get any wickets.
The 4ths also playing Mt Martha are in a similar situation as the 3rds bowling them out for 111 with Lukie Fossett 3-28 and Macca 3-37. In reply we declared at 4/182 with Blackers 46, Marty Kelly 36 and Woggo 31. The 4ths also had 8 overs at them and snared 2 great wickets.
The 5ths had a great win against Somerville which got them back into the 4. We made 6/110 with Hatchy 24, J.Paxton 20no and Rev 33 getting the runs. The bowlers contained Somerville to 97 with Jonesy 2-17 Brad (Chainsaw) Phillips 4-1 and Trev Allcott 2-7.
Next week hopefully will bring some great results for all teams and cement their spots for the finals.

Belated congratulations to Evan Dexter who played his 50th game this week.

It was a great spectacle when the teams returned to the rooms with the 20/20 Under 11 challenge taking place, with Fos commentating very ball and I mean every ball. it was great to see so many players including most of mornington's 1sts staying back to watch the game. No idea who won though, the biggest winner though was cricket at the Island. Well done to everyone who organised it.

Don't forget this Thursday we play Peninsula Old boys in a 20/20 game at home starting at about 5:30, come along and support the boys.

Just checked the Jack Peacock Cup results and we finished 10th on the ladder which means we progress to the next round. We play Peninsula Old Boys at home. More to follow. Click on the 1sts lick to find out results.

Scotty Phillips continued his match winning effort making 105 not out with the bat, Tugger helped out with 54 and Sarge chipped in with 36. This now puts us 2nd on the ladder.
Despite some good bowling from Striker the 2nds just couldn't get over the line despite having Sorrento 8/101 they just couldn't get the wickets.
The 3rds had a great out right win with Ryan Lee snaring his 300th wicket and 11 for the game and last wicket for the season due to him going for a knee operation (has he done enough to obtain the 3rds bowling award, only time will tell), Steve Phillips chipped in with 4 wickets with some great bowling
The 4ths were rain affected but before it was Woggo was unbeaten on 109.
The 5ths too were rain affected containing Seaford Tigers to 209 with Tappy Senior 3/48 and Macca 2/37, we got off to a good start with the bat being 0/33 but the heavens opened up and that was that.
Don't forget fees are due this week so no pay no play which should ammount to interesting selections coming into finals time.

A mixed bag for the round with the 1sts getting Sorrento out for 248 with captain Scotty Phillips leading from the front taking 9/91 this was the 4th best bowling figures for the club ever (J.De Zilva 9/12, P.Dunning 9/28, S.Swift 9/34) Arne took the other wicket.
The 2nds crumbled with the bat all out for 122 with clunk 30 and 1st gamer justin Parkes 22.
The 3rds got off to a great start with Ryan bowling a player 2nd ball, he continued this great bowling snaring 6/42 to have balnarring out for 71, he was on a hat trick with the last wicket to come, unfortunately for him though Balnarring only had 10 players which also stopped him from getting a 7 for aswell. He did get a Welsh hat trick though 3 wickets in 5 balls (What the!) We went in to bat and Marty 24 and Paul (Cadbury) Morrow 63 smashed our way to victory, Rev 22 and Khanny 20 chipped in as well. We gave ourselves another 10 overs at them and snared anpther 5 wickets with Ryan taking 3 and St.Phillips 2. Ryan now needs 1 more wicket for his 300 club wicket and 10 for the game.
The 4ths chased leather all day with Skye making 320, Fish 3/63 was the pick of the bowlers.
The 5ths suffered their 1st loss for a couple of weeks going down to Baden Powell, our batting cost us only making 108 with Poxon continuing his good form with 23, Hatch was the pick of the bowlers with 3/5

New ICC Rules

A disappointing result for the Island going down by 17 runs against Seaford, good batting by Boo and Clunk though nearly got us over the line. Catches win matches as we all know.

Long Island will play Seaford at Seaford this Thursday night in their 20/20 Jack Peacock clash.

Round 7 Statistics now up. Click Here

The 1sts hold on to 4th spot with a great win against Tyabb with Burkey scoring an unbeaten 120 to guarantee victory Huggie chipped in with 44 and Arnie 41no.
The seconds probably had their worst defeat for a long time going down to Tyabb despite some good individual performances from T-Shirt Tommy 61, Clunk 37 and Jazzy Jeff 34, a game which we need to forget about. The 2nds now sit in 6th spot, 6 points out.
The 3rds had a bye and now sit in 6th spot 8 points out of the 4
The 4ths continue their good form with a great win against Ballam Park with Trent 47, Marty 39,
Webby 62 and Boagy 38 all making easy work of the total. The 4ths now sit in 3rd spot.
The 5ths also continue their great form with a good win against top team Tyabb with
Brad (chainsaw) Phillips on his return to the club snaring 4/15 and Jonesy also chipping in with 4/23.
Trev 29 and James Paxton 20no make easy work of the runs. The 5ths now sit in 4th spot 12 points clear of the next team.

Next week is probably do or die for the 2nds and 3rds and with some unavailability's it should be an interesting selection.

Some good results for the Island Bowlers on the weekend despite the scorching heat with Jared Bailey after his recall to the firsts getting a Hat Trick and finishing with 3/23, with Arne, Maxy and Lamby chipping in with 2 wickets each.
The seconds too bowled with Dave (Harry Potter) Barrett bowling a treat to snare his second 6 for with 6/52, although we are behind the eight ball with us already losing 2 quick wickets (Laurie 65 overs in the field, two crap overs and two overs batting, you must learn to leave the ball, have fun umpiring next week with Bickers).
The 4ths also bowled with captain Jeff Boag leading from the front taking 5/38 and Steve Phillips chipping in with 3/46.
Congratulations to Greg Lamb who now has 350 senior wickets

Good luck to Simon Fisher who plays his 100th Senior game today against Ballam Park in the 4ths.

The rain poured down on Saturday and as a result the 1st XI's game was called off, the 2nds weren't able to defend their total of 263 only managing 6 wickets, The 3rds took the gambe of playing the game and despite the good batting from Cadbury 78 and Jazzy 43 we just couldn't get over the line due to losing 7/21 (no team can come back from that). The 4ths continue their great form with another outright. Fish fell 1 run short of his maiden 100 and Lukie Fossett snared another 4 for. The 5ths also continued their great form beating Seaford with Poxo 37 and Michael Phillips all guns blazing 45, with Jonesy 5/24 and James 3/9 with the ball.

The flag reunions night was also held and a big thankyou to the past players who turned up on the night, a great night was had by all.

On behalf of all players and committee I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and see you all next year.

Congratulations to Jake Middleton who has been selected in The Under 16 Team to play in the Jim Beitzel Shield Competition in January

A great effort from the Island last night in there first 20/20 game for the Jack Peacock Cup against Delacombe Park. Scotty got us off to a flyer with a great knock of 106 (12 4's, 3 6's), with Arne also chipping in with a lazy 70 (3 4's, 7 6's). While with the ball it was youngster Jarad Bailey who snared 4/15 off 3 overs who did all the damage.

Movember after pictures

Congratulations to Luke Fossett who got his 100th wicket on the weekend

Good luck on Saturday to Chris Weare and Craig McCormack who both play their 50th game.

The 1sts gave it a real go on the weekend but fell short bowling Baxter out for 143 with S.Phillips 6/70, and P.Hartle 3/39.
The 2nds played out a thriller with us coming away with the win by 7 runs with J.Haley 3-70 and Bickers and Boo with 2 each.
The 3rds just didn't score enough runs the previous week and poor catching and poor lbw decisions cost us dearly, what team these days continues to play one they have one, ever the firsts stop, only Langwarrin lets have some batting practise. Khanny in his 100th was the got 3 for. Dave Phillips bowled a treat so to did Buddah in his last game befor his knee reco.
The 4ths under captain Boagy pulled off an outright against french Island with Foss jnr snaring 4/1 in the first innings and Macca 3/53 in the 2nd.
The 5ths are continuing their merry way with another win Trev34 with the bat and Jonesy 3-19 T.Allcott 3-20.
All Statistics are up Click Here
If anyone is interested in learning how to put the scores onto the computer please se Fos or Laurence on Thursday night, we are really looking for someone from the 1sts, 2nds and 4ths to put there scores on the MPCA site.

Congratulations to Dave Larizza whose partner gave birth to a future Islander Benjamin Thomas Larizza, well done to the happy couple.

Some great individual results on the weekend the first coming from Steve Hocking who fell 2 runs short from making the first 100 on the main ground and Trevor Ryan made 92no.
The 1sts started well but again had a batting collapse but managed to reach 132 and in reply Baxter are already 2 for.
The 2nds won the toss (I think for the first time) decided to bat and made a well compiled 283 with Boo 92, Godders 54 and Clint 37.
The 3rds also won the toss and had a bat, we got off to a shakey start again but continued to fight on with Cadbury (22) and T-Shirt Tommy (45) who both batted strong. We were 8/112 because a great inning from Laurie Hall (47no) and Buddah (25) pushed the score to 189.
The 4ths also batted and made 330 against French Island ( the 3rds last round made 304 against their 1sts 634 in two weeks they must love chasing leather) with Blacks 74, Parkes 53, Volpe 48, Judge 41 and Boagy 31 also posting great scores.
The 5ths are contiuning their great form with another win against Carrum with Trevor Ryan scoring an unbeaten 92, with Andrew Poxon continuing his great form with 42 and a great knock by Daniel Heyne 32.

Congratulations must go to all the people involved with the organisation of the ladies day on the weekend from all reports it was a huge success. Well done to all involved in its organisation.

Congratulations to the following players who reached milestones last round
Jared Bailey 50 Senior wickets.
James Bennett 50 Senior games.
Good luck to Jams Khan this week who plays his 100th game for the club

Statistics are up to date except for the catches because some captains didn't fill them in, they hopefully will be up to date by Friday. 5ths scorecard was not on when I did the stats so they are up to Round 5 not Round 6. Click here for Statistics

Some disappointing results for the Island on the weekend the 1sts went down to Heatherhill but held their own for the majority of the match through great bowling from Scottie Phillips 6/81 and Lamby 3/40. I think the team will be doing a bit of fielding practice on Thursday with a couple of catches going down at crucial times.
The 2nds probably had their worst performance with the bat for a good 5 years (2002/03 R8 they were bowled out for 71 against YCW) with a measly 89.
The 3rds had a great win against French Island the team that knocked them out of the semi finals last year, with Khany 3-26.
The 4ths also had a great win against Carrum with Boagy scoring 71 in the win. Must have been the bat.
And the 5ths had a great win over Heatherhill with M.OBrian 46no, J.Paxton 38 and L.Volpe 32 with the bat and J.Bennett 4-33 and L.Volpe 3-19 with the ball.
With a number of players back and the good form with the lower grades selection this week should be very interesting.
Joel Stevenson is taking orders for new club gear, see Tugger if you are interested.

So good individual results on the weekend the first from Jake Middleton who score 113 in the 3rds along with Brendan Kelly 82 and in the 4ths Justin Parkes bowled well to get 7/28.
The 1sts started off very badly but salvaged a reasonable score and now have Heatherhill 2 for, a game in the balance if we get some more early wickets.
The 2nds bowled well to contain Heatherhill to 265 on a very small pitch, with good bowling from Bickers 3/69
The 3rds also started off badly but Middo and BK steadied the ship with the tail chipping in some good quick runs Rev 36 and R.Lee 21.
The 4ths contained Carrum well with Parke snaring a 7 for.
The 5ths couldn't get over the line again against Somerville despite some good bowling from Jonesy 4/46 and James Paxton 40 and Andrew Poxon 39.

Sorry have been flat out, here are all the results for Round 3 and the 5ths Round 4
Some good results though the the 1sts (Scotty 3/47 & Arnie 3/55) and sitting on top spot by 2 points, 2nds (good batting by Clint 61 and Weare 50no) and 4ths (Fos 35 & Parke 45no) all winners, the 3rds had a huge batting collapse (Woggo 54, Packo 24, Rev 23 and Macca 25no) and the 5ths just couldn't get over the line (Daniel Heyne 41 & Michael Phillips 3/37).

With a number of players available this weeks selection is going to be an absolute nightmare for the captains with atleast 6 players available that didn't play last game. Make sure you get to training on Thursday.

Statistics for Round 2 are now updated (sorry I was on school camp)
Unfortunately Darren Lee couldn't play was unavailable next week and Dave Collins car broke down so Laurence Hall (who nearly got a hat trick, shocking ball though deprived him of one) stepped in and so too Neil Kent next week. Swifty played and got his 1 wicket to reach 250 wickets. Joel Tugger Stevenson is playing his 50th 1st team game, Chris Hocking continuing his good form with 7/50 and despite Mark Webb scoring 113 it wasn't enough to get the 5ths over the line.

Welcome back to Darren Lee, Dave (Disco) Collins, Stuart Swift (playing his 100th game) and Shane Double. Congratulations to Dave Thompson who plays his first game in the seconds and David Phillips first in the thirds this week and first senior gamers Lachlan Volpe and Travis Scott.

A good start for the Island with the 1sts already gaining first innings points over Crib Point with Paul Hartle claiming 6 for and breaking Peter Worland's Top Wicket Taker record of 430 wickets, Paul know has 431 wickets all taken in the 1sts. Congratualtion Arne. Maxy also did well with the ball taking 3 wickets. Arne did well with the bat aswell making 46, Scotty 33 and Potto 20no.
The 2nds batted and made 221 with David Worland opening his account making 60no and reaching 4000 career runs, Clint followed up his 71no with 41, Stuart Doolan also opened his account with 29, Boo 27 and Wearey 22. They also bowled gaining 3 wickets 2 to Moose, 1 to Bickers.

Mixed results for the Island with the 1st XI coming away with a draw due to bad light. We did however bat fairly well making 6/167 with Paul Hartle (43), Joel Stevenson (39), Stuart McLeod (32), Gary Measham (23) and Peter Conell (22no). David Maxfield was the pick of the bowlers with 2/13
The 2nds having a great win, containing POB to 177 with some great bowling from new comer David Barrett who on his senior debut for the club got 6/23 which included a hat trick, which is probably some sort of club record ie a hat trick on senior debut, plus a new ground first, congratulations Dave and welcome back to the club. With the bat we got off to a great start with Godders (46) and Wizza (40), but it was Captain courageous Clint who put the game out of the Old Boys hands with an unbeaten 71.
The 3rds too had a win first up containing Mt Eliza to 150 with great bowling from Laurence Hall 3/28 and Luke Fossett 2/28. We got off to a great start with the bat through Marty Kelly (28), Paul Morrow 39 and the ever reliable Laurence Hall with an unbeaten 43.
The 4ths up against arch rivals Carrum Downs struggled with the ball with Carrum Downs making 9/240, with good bowling from James Bennett 3/44 and Stephen Phillips 3/31, but we struggled with the bat being all out for 104, good performances from David Thompson (44) and Trent Luckman (20), kept us in the game.
Next week the 1sts (Home) and 2nds (Away) are up against Crib Point, the 3rds Moorooduc (Away), 4ths (Home) Langwarrin and the 5ths open their campaign against Seaford (Home)
