Kew electorate sports clubs

Jess WILSON (Kew) (09:42): The electorate of Kew is home to many fantastic local sporting clubs, and this weekend I was delighted to mark the conclusion of the cricket season with our local teams. The Eastern Cricket Association put on a terrific lunch at Macleay Park to celebrate their grand finals, which were attended by finalists the North Balwyn Cricket Club, the Bulls; the Deepdene Uniting Cricket Club, the Deeners; and the Old Carey Cricket Club. I was thrilled to attend the Balwyn Saints and Balwyn Blasters junior cricket club’s presentation night, where I was also pleased to see the growth of girls cricket across the club. This Saturday the Deepdene Bears Cricket Club are chasing 163 runs at Stradbroke Park to take the premiership. Go Bears! I congratulate all the players and club volunteers on a fantastic season.
