Williams Landing building for the future

Williams Landing is hoping to become one of the premier cricket clubs in Wyndham.

Starting 12 years ago with just two teams, the club now has six senior sides and five junior teams.

For the first time this season, it is fielding a girls team.

Executive committee member Gagan Sethi said it was exciting to see the club continue to grow.

“Five years ago we had 50 members, now we’re close to 150 members,” he said. “We have six senior division sides and the club has won a number of premierships over the years.

“We have won 18 premiership across all the divisions and the juniors have won five premierships.

“The club keeps growing every year.”

Sethi said one of the key focuses of the club going forward is to provide as many options as possible for their juniors.

“The main focus is to get turf on our home ground,” he said. ”We have a lot of talented cricketers, but to have a career in cricket they have to play on turf.

“Every season we lose good juniors and it hurts. We’re working behind the scenes on what we can do and it’s not cheap.

“Hopefully we can have a premier club.”

Sethi said it was exciting to have a girls team for the first time and were hoping to continue to build that side of the club.

On the senior side, he said they were looking for some more success in the Western Suburbs Churches and Community Cricket Association.

The club claimed the division 1 and 3 premierships last season, while its division 2 side made the finals before its semi final was heated off.

The division 1 team has won three straight premierships.

Sethi said they were looking strong again this season to contend across all grades. Early in the season all the teams are around the top four.

After dropping its round three match, Williams Landing returned to the winners list in division 1 on Saturday.

Facing Truganina Strikers Yellow, Williams Landing bowled them out for just 82 in the 22 over.

Mohit Bhaskar took four wickets for Williams Landing.

Williams Landing didn’t waste any time with the bat, finishing 1-86 off 14 overs.

Ravinder Bhinder finished 56 not out off 47 balls.

After four rounds, Williams Landing sits in third spot.

In other results, Manor Lakes beat West Point Titans, 5ABI Caroline Springs was too good for United Tarneit and Truganina beat Tarneit Central Blue.

In the A.E Lowe Shield two-day competition, Wyndham Vale beat Point Cook, Western United won against Werribee and Altona Sports beat Seabrook.
