The North West Cricket Club’s three competitions continue to grow with an even bigger season planned for January.
The club, which is based in Tarneit, there are three seasons held across the year.
The spring season, the North West Cricket League, was recently completed with the summer season, which is a 30-over a side North West Premier League kicking off early next year.
Committee member Vimal Bhushan Chatrati said they had 40 to 50 teams compete each season making it one of the largest community cricket tournaments in Melbourne’s west.
“NWCL has been proudly operating for the past 13 years, with the core motto of fostering harmony, togetherness, and community spirit through cricket,” he said.
“It’s really going well. Most are working people who enjoy playing cricket.
“It’s a social competition but it’s really good and very competitive.”
In the recently completed season, the highlight was the performance from Werribee Lions’ Pawanjot Singh in his side’s second last game.
He scored 200 not out off just 89 balls, hitting seven sixes and 26 fours. It’s the highest score of the spring season which is a 25 over tournament.
“Pawan has played these tournaments for many years and has shown great consistency in his performance both with bat and bowl apart being an excellent fielder,” Bhushan Chatrati said.
“He was on cloud nine. He takes his cricket seriously and is always training and working hard across the seasons.
“He also plays on Saturdays elsewhere.”
Bhushan Chatrati, who is on the committee with Venkat Sarabudla, Srinivas Suthari, Venkat Nommula and Lennin Nelam said the club and competitions continue to have a positive impact within the community.
