Flash back to March U12A back to back RJ Barker 🏏🏆🏆#cricket #juniorcricket #cricketpremiership #backtoback

At last Monday night's Annual General Meeting, hos

At last Monday night's Annual General Meeting, hosted simultaneously at the Malvern Vale Hotel and on Zoom online, the GICC Committee nominated Marko Dordevic for life membership of the Glen Iris Cricket Club, upon which he was duly elected, unanimously.

Joining the club in the 2004/05, Marko has since played 248 games for the Glen Iris Cricket Club which sees him as a 4-time Premiership player in 2005/06 (4th XI) 2006/07 (4th XI) 2010/11 (5th XI) and 2018/19 (4th XI).

His club service has seen him captain various XIs for 8 of the 17 years he has been at Glen Iris, leading the 2007/08 4th XI, 2008/09 4th XI, 2009/10 4th XI, 2010/11 5th XI, 2017/18 6th XI, 2018/19 4th XI, 2019/20 4th XI and 2020/21 4th XI teams.

Off field, Marko has also valuably contributed as a member of the Club Committee in two lengthy stints across 8 seasons in 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11, 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21. Unfortunately for the club, Marko has decided to step back from his role on the Committee this year, but we do not expect that will limit his assistance and involvement in the club.

From a playing perspective, Marko has taken 401 wickets, which is 12th all-time on the list of wicket takers for the club. Those 401 wickets are made up of 7 x 5wi and 2 x 7wi with best bowling of 8/44. His bowling exploits have seen him win the 2009/10 4th XI, 2010/11 5th XI, 2012/13 5th XI and 2017/18 6th XI Bowling Awards and in the field, when he is not bowling, he has won the 2004/05 5th XI and 2012/13 5th XI Fielding Awards.

A leader with the ball, Marko has also made 976 runs with a highest score of 53x and along the way, his efforts have seen him win the 2010/11 5th XI and 2011/12 4th XI Most Valuable Player Awards.

The club take great pleasure and pride in congratulating one of our great clubmen on his elevation to Life Membership and we are sure all members will be unanimous in their congratulations.

It is with the most profound sadness that the Glen

It is with the most profound sadness that the Glen Iris Cricket Club advises players, ex-players, members and supporters that one of the true legends of our club, Billy Glover, has passed away following his recent illness.

Making his debut in the 1965/66 season, Billy played right up until the 2018/19 season playing 465 games in total, being the 4th most in the history of the club. Equally adept with and ball, Billy made 5104 runs which is the 9th most in Club history, with 15 x 50s and a high score of 109x and took 295 wickets (23rd on the list of wicket takers for the Club) with 5 x 5wi, 2 x 7wi and best bowling of 8/81.

His on field exploits saw Billy win the 1976/77 and 1980/81 GICC Club Championship and in later years he was the 2004/05 and 2005/06 6th XI Most Valuable player, in the infancy of the LOC competition.

A 3-time premiership player in 2004/05 (6th XI) 2006/07 (4th XI) and 2018/19 (4th XI) Billy won the 1972/73 4th XI Batting Award, along with the 1973/74 4th XI, 1978/79 4th XI and 1979/80 2nd XI Bowling Awards and as a testament to the player he was, he was awarded the 2004/05 Jim Toohey / Glenan Thomas Most Determined Player.

He served the club faithfully as 2nd XI captain in seasons 1981/82 and 1982/83 and off field served on the Club Committee in 1986/87.

The Glover family has a long standing legacy at Glen Iris, with Billy's father Bob playing in 313 games and serving as President, Treasurer and 4th XI Captain for many years but by no means did Billy live in this shadow, carving a name for himself as a true legend of the Glen Iris Cricket Club.

One of the most friendly and welcoming men to new players, young and old alike, Billy was a true gentleman of our club and we pass on our sincere condolences to the Glover family and Bill's friends far wide.

Good on ya Billy, rest in peace.

The Glen Iris CC is pleased to announce our leader

The Glen Iris CC is pleased to announce our leadership structure for the season 21 22 in our return to Dunstan Shield :

Club Head Coach – Lucas Skelton / back again for another year. Our Premiership Coach will continue to manage the reins with his club wide ‘Star’ Approach for a 7th season after starting in the role in 2015/16. Notwithstanding Lucas's magnificent on field contribution, his skill at overseeing our program continues in season 2021/22. Great to have Lucas, Michelle, Flynn and Will continue at Eric Raven.

Club Assistant Coach – Nathan Boucher / after a season of 580 runs in the Wright Shield our Geoff Ferguson / Ric Ford Club Champion has committed to GI for two seasons, 21 / 22 + 22 / 23. He will assist Skelts at training providing his usual leadership qualities and will continue his huge on field contribution, adding to his 1434 runs (5 x 50s & 5 x 100s) so far.

Club Batting Coach – Paul Stocks / Stocky and his favourite bowling machine will be back for our batting net. 1st XI Player Cap No. 1, providing years of experience, he was a favourite with all players, young and old, in season 20 / 21 and is sure to bring even more to the role in season 21/22.

Dunstan Shield 1st Team Captain – Tom McDermott / After breaking the finals curse as Captain at Wright Shield level Tom will return as captain of the 1st team. Entering his 3rd year as 1st XI Captain after two previous years at Wright Shield level, we cannot wait for our Premiership Captain's cricket strategic brain to again lead our side on the field in the Dunstan Shield, as he climbs towards the top 10 run scorers in the history of the club.

Join us in congratulating the four appointments and stay tuned for further player acquisition announcements on all our social channels #madelocally
