Williams and Graham our Calvert and Jukes Medalists

Ellen Williams and Charlie Graham are our club champions for 2024/25.

A terrific crowd of 140 players, coaches, parents, volunteers, supporters and guests attended our first annual awards presentation night at the new Toorak Park pavilion on Thursday 17 April.

Second Eleven skipper and opening batter Ellen Williams was a well deserved winner of the Julie Calvert Medal.

Excluding the finals, her 585 runs off the bat at an outstanding 48.75 is evidence of her success at the crease where she was amazingly consistent throughout the season. Of her 17 innings she failed to score 25 or more on only three occasions.

Ellen's 750 points were well clear of second-placed Maddi Heitlinger's 606 points, with Sunny Plant, in her first season at the club, finishing third on 541 points.

In a much closer contest, nineteen year-old leggie Charlie Graham became the youngest ever recipient of the DWN Jukes Medal where he pipped all-rounder Brodie Symons by just 6 points.

Graham bagged 32 wickets across the home and away season to lead the club wickets tally. His 176 runs plus 10 catches and two  runouts were enough to earn him 781 points to take the medal.

Brodie Symons, in his first year at the club since transferring from Frankston Peninsula, also had an outstanding year, earning himself a place in the Premier Cricket Team of the Season.  His 29 wickets, 255 runs and six catches gave him 775 points but wasn't quite enough however to win him this year's medal.

Third place went to another young player in his first full season with the club in Rex Macalister, a team mate of Graham's in the Fourth Eleven. Macalister finished nearly 100 points behind Symons on 679 points.
