Cricket returns as Werribee and Hoppers Crossing hope to start in style

Werribee will open the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association north-west season on home soil in a two-day game against Kew at Chirnside Park starting on Saturday.

The Tigers are eager to atone for last summer’s disappointing finals campaign, when they fell short of expectations.

They advanced through the qualifying final stage with a draw against Altona before succumbing to Noble Park in the semi-final.

The Tigers will again be led by captain Shaun Dean and vice-captain Tim O’Brien.

In the Victorian Turf Cricket Association, Hoppers Crossing is the highest-ranked Wyndham club, playing in the top flight senior division.

The Cats will start their new campaign on the road at St Bernard’s Old Collegians in a two-day game starting on Saturday.

In west A1, there will be a mouth-watering local derby first up, with Wyndhamvale to host Werribee Centrals.

Point Cook will make the trip to Williamstown CYMS.

In west B1, Seabrook entertains Williamstown Imperials in their first dig of the summer. In the WDCA, Bellbridge will face Melton Centrals at home in round one.
