News from the 2017 AGM

We had a great turnout at the 2017 AGM, with a number of Club Members able to meet and chat with new Head Coach Rohan Best for the first time.

On the night, Ian Harris decided to step down as President of St James Malvern Valley Cricket Club, with Nathaniel Symes being elected to fill this role. Ian has done an outstanding job, working tirelessly for many years to leave the club in a fantastic position as he hands over to Nathaniel.  Ian will assume the role of Junior Vice-President to support Nathaniel as he leads the club in to the future. Exciting times ahead!

We have a New Assistant Coach!

Looking to build on the coaching structure this season, St James Malvern Valley Cricket Club is thrilled to announce the appointment of Alex Kerr to the role of Assistant Coach for the 2017/18 season. Alex will support Rohan in administering training sessions, teaching and improving player techniques as we strive towards on field success.

Pink Stumps Day 2017

On 26th February, St James Malvern Valley Cricket Club held a pink themed afternoon  raising money for the fantastic McGrath Foundation.

Amongst the pink there was a bbq lunch, afternoon tea, games, face painting and a raffle with a number of wonderful prizes!

And of course there was the highly anticipated social cricket match between the Captain’s XI and the President’s XI. Everyone was welcome to play, with the Captain’s XI prevailing in controversial circumstances!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along this year! We managed to raise an awesome total of:

$1,103.70

More than $800 was raised on the day itself and the remainder came through separate donations. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated. It was great to see the club getting together to support the fantastic McGrath Foundation!
