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!

TWO BATS GET TONS IN ROUND 4
English import Nathan Hawkes notched up his maiden century for St.Bernard’s cricket club against Williamstown CYMS. His 103 not out included 11 fours and 5 sixes in what was a clinical batting display. Nathan’s form has been superb this year with scores of 76 no, 22 and 103 no making him the leading run scorer in the VTCA senior division by some margin. Nathan’s batting display was a step above the competition and we can only hope he continues this form well into season 20010/11.
While on oval two in the 4ths Nick Rule made the most of his opportunity being dropped on 4 to go on and make his maiden century. Opening the batting and chasing only 96 able to cash in, making a big 100, finishing the day unbeaten on 125, scoring more than half the 4/217 and being the only snowdog batsmen to make more than 23 for the day.
Nick and Nathan are both the leading run scores in their grades, and are the top two run scorers in the entire VTCA competition.
