Cricket

As the winter chill sets in, the cricket enthusiasts at the OTGCC are already starting to turn their attention to Season 2023/24.

With "pre-season training" (in inverted commas for a reason...) set to commence in just a few months, now is the time to reach out if you are thinking about rolling the arm over.

The Old Trinity Cricket Club competes in the MCC Club XI with teams in Division 1 and Division 3. Playing against traditional rivals such as Xavier, Scotch and Melbourne High, the competition is a great blend of competitive yet very social cricket – all played on some of the best grounds in Victoria. We play exclusively 40over matches so you don't have to fear spending an entire day in the field!

We are always looking to welcome new players (regardless of age or ability) so please get in contact with me ( sebnicolosi15@gmail.com ) or anybody else you may know at the club and we can add you to our communications channels.

Looking forward to another big season!

Water Polo

The Old Trinity Otters Water Polo Club was able to celebrate a long awaited first league premiership in April with a resounding 13-goal victory over the opposition.

Over the course of the season, there were huge contributions from a variety of players, including Captain Sam Bennett (OTG 2019) who was the leading scorer in the State League 4 competition.

Fellow Otters Mike Ridley, Alex Paterson (OTG 2005) , Jayson Papadopoulos (OTG 2014) , and Josh Sekulovski (OTG 2015) among others were vital in the club’s first flag. The Otters have also been excited to welcome current Trinity Year 10 students Ollie Nemtsas and Nick Vildovas into the side. Both have fit in well and made strong in-pool contributions.

In the current Autumn/Winter competition, the club remains undefeated, with two wins from as many games. Despite the cold of winter setting in, the team has still been getting down to train at the Trinity pool on Monday nights, testing their bodies and heart rates on a weekly basis.

The club is looking forward to the future and new players are always welcome to join the positive and friendly culture of water polo enthusiasts.
