The Tallarook Cricket Club has reaffirmed its leadership for the 2024-25 Seymour District Cricket Association season, with its executive committee re-elected at the annual general meeting on Friday, July 26.
Leigh Irving will continue as president, Damien Arandt as vice-president, Mitch Itter as secretary and Adam Howard as treasurer.
The committee boasts a diverse range of professional expertise and, as the SDCA's most successful club in recent times, an impressive track record of 40 A-grade premierships shared among its members.
The committee’s impressive on-field achievements are matched by their varied professional backgrounds, creating a well-rounded leadership team.
Club president Leigh Irving is optimistic about the club’s prospects for the 2024-25 season.
“We’re delighted to have a fantastic team of locals back on board to support our club and continue its growth this season,” he said.
“Over the past few seasons there’s been a massive amount of work by our committee off field which has allowed us to make some great investments back into our club and its infrastructure.
“This has flowed through to continued success on field, with back-to-back A-grade premierships and a B-grade flag the season before.
“We’re ambitious for the future of the TCC and will be looking to go from strength to strength again this season.”
The club is gearing up for the season with fresh determination, eager to build upon its already remarkable track record.
It has rebuilt its junior cricket program over the past couple of years, running a Woolworths Cricket Blast last year, alongside under-11 and under-13 junior teams in the SDCA. Junior cricket will remain the club’s key priority over the next 12 months.
“We’re really proud of our culture as a community and family-focused club which has allowed us to bring junior cricket back to Tallarook in a big way,” Irving said.
“I’d encourage families and kids who are looking to get involved in cricket to get in touch and have a chat about our club and junior cricket.
“Playing junior cricket close to home, in a fun environment, is what it’s all about and we can’t wait to welcome new families to the TCC again this year.
“Our club is a family and we can’t wait to get back into cricket action in the coming months.”
