ACC Cricket

The Senior First Eleven team was fortunate to reach the ultimate goal of winning the ACC premiership cup. It was a very proud moment to achieve Mazenod’s second ever Division 1 cricket title, and a memory that all the boys will cherish for a lifetime. As a pretty passionate person that loves winning, the team’s ultimate goal was always the flag, but at the same time enjoy our last year with playing with our mates and also the opportunity to play with the Year 11 students.

The team faced many challenges during the year, but what really separated this group from the rest was the resilience we showed. In many of our games we were completely gone for all money, but managed to scrape our way back and come away with a win. This was evident in our grand final where the opposition in St Joseph’s had the game by the scruff of the neck until the final five overs, but the boys managed to hang in there and eventually the tide turned our way and we were able to fight back and win from a position where victory had seemed almost impossible. We wish the Junior and Intermediate cricketers all the best as they compete later in the year for similar glory.

We would like to congratulate Fabian Di Domenico, Andrew Trifilo and Nathan Jago on making the ‘ACC Team of the Year’, this is a huge achievement for the boys, and they were major factors in our success this year. We would also like to thank our two coaches in Mr Muling and Lachlan McDonnell who not only improved us as cricketers but as people as well. Finally, the Year 12 students would like to thank all our coaches over the years who have devoted their time and efforts so that we could play the game we love. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time here at Mazenod and wish the best to the boys that represent the College in future years. Jake Martin
