TOP 3 ROWVILLE PERFORMANCES WITNESSED:
1) Mitch and Ramma putting on 180-odd to chase down 300 against JP in the semi in 07/08.
2) First ever First XI flag up at Belgrave in 04/05. Not a mountain of runs on the board but watching Hilly take unbelievable slips catches off Gav whilst virtually fielding at third man, whilst we ran through the Belgrave batting lineup, and to see the celebration on the old Rowville faces, was priceless…
3) Simon Hill and Palla putting on a lazy 300 for the fourth wicket in the 3s whilst yours truly sat with the pads on for the best part of 4 hours.
