150TH SENIOR GAME - MICK THOM

Congratulations go out today to our 2nd XI Captain, 'Mighty' Mick Thom who is playing his 150th Senior Game for the Mighty Snowdogs!
 
Mick has been a great player for our club, starting out in the Juniors many years ago and with his keenness for the game of cricket playing seniors from the outset.  He played 3rds for a couple of years as a young bloke, and showed his ability by even making a century in the 3rds at a young age.
 
Mick then graduated to the 2nds and the quickly to the 1sts where he played for a number of years and was a key part of the rebuilding of the Snowdogs into a competitive and winning unit that started to be regular finals participants.
 
Mick played in the 2nd XI Premiership team in 2007 / 2008 and then took on the role as Captain of the 2nd XI where he has displayed fine leadership skills in developing young players through the grades while maintaining the winning culture that has been a feature of that grade for many years.  Mick captained the 2nd XI to the Premiership in his first year as Captain in 2008 / 2009.
 
Mick continues to make runs an take the occasional wicket, as well as being one of the best fieldsman around.  He is also on the Committee of the club and is a bloke with real leadership around the place.
 
Congratulations Mighty and good luck on your 150th game today!
