Match Ops and Venue Team

The team, which comprised of Dale Bryant, Casey Studden, Jonathon De Lyall and Harjit Singh, set out to deliver training sessions and matches throughout another season of COVID protocols and border restrictions, with vast fixture and match condition changes. The MOV team successfully delivered: 1. 259 Elite turf training sessions across six venues 2. 34 matches over 55 match days – 65% less matches delivered than ‘normal’ season

– Approx. 40 matches cancelled / relocated due to COVID – Hosted only 5 female elite matches in 2021/22 with Women’s International matches and Women’s Big Bash League both relocated – 75% of matches hosted at a major venue (SCG / Showgrounds / NSO / Manuka) MOV showed great flexibility and an ability to adapt across a range of cancellations and relocations all while in trying conditions and still able to delivery over 250 turf sessions for our elite programs.
