25.01.2022 TEAM SELECTION | Another big weekend of games for the club after a disappointing outing last week! Let’s finally get that Garden Party! #fortheredandblack #gardenarmy #kgcc

24.01.2022 GRAB YOUR TICKETS NOW!!

24.01.2022 SCORE UPDATES | The First XI will travel to Batterham Reserve to take on The Basin in round one of the 2020/21 season as senior coach Jack Taylor makes his long awaited debut for Knox Gardens. Taylor joins former Knoxfield teammates Trent Evans and Michael Casement as the experienced line-up aim to take home the cake, with the accomplished youngsters Adam Wylde and Josh Mcgowan hoping to get the season off the a flyer.

24.01.2022 PLAYER OF THE WEEK | This week we simply couldn’t go past the evergreen Mr Sean Reid. A truely outstanding display with the bat plundering a hard hitting 45 runs to set up the winning total before ripping through the opponent’s middle order with very reidesque figures of 8 overs 2/23.... A truely dominant all-round display!! Congrats Reidy!! #fortheredandblack #gardenarmy #POTW

23.01.2022 PLAYER OF THE WEEK | New father Adam Metherell is the player of the week for round 2 after a great performance against Olinda in the 3rd XI’s comprehensive win. Sent in to lift the run rate, Crystal smashed his way to 66 runs before being at his miserly best with the ball claiming 1/22 off 8 overs to give the opposing team no real chance to chase down the target.... A great game and about the fifth time we’ve used this photo in 3 seasons Congrats Adam Metherell #fortheredandblack #gardenarmy

23.01.2022 FINEST FALCON | Round 3 Two incredibly tight bowlers who just hate giving away just a single run but only one can tie down a position in the Semi Finals... Sean Reid ... The multilingual Mr. Reid will be hoping to continue his recent form after breezing past Bailey and Scotty Mac. The toiling all-rounder and beloved clubman will face his toughest competition yet this round but is in with a genuine chance to come out on top and progress to the semi-finals! Nixon Adcock The son of Russell has brought out record breaking numbers to crush fellow bowlers Kingy and Case on his way to the quarter finals. The soldiering off-spinner will have a right battle on his hands this round as he comes up against club favourite Reidy, and he’ll be hoping to draw out the masses as he’s done previously to give himself a crack at being crowned ‘Finest Falcon’! Who will progress to the Semi Finals?... Cast your vote with a simple or and leave a comment below to show your support. Votes counted at 8pm #fortheredandblack #gardenarmy #finestfalcon

21.01.2022 FINEST FALCON | Grand Final Here it is!! Two of our most talented, handsome and obviously popular players at the club. The winner of this head to head matchup will be crowned our Finest Falcon Jay Wagner ... If this came down to just swagger this young man would have been crowned weeks ago with no need for votes at all. Jay also possesses great talent with the stick smashing a mountain of runs so far in his fledgling career. Climbed up to our senior 2nd XI so far and a much awaited debut in the 1st seems a mere formality. Has Jay got the votes to overcome a club favourite?.. Sean Reid The king of cool would love nothing more than being named our Finest Falcon after years of proclaiming himself as this for the best part of two decades. Loves a scrap and is going to have to call on a few favours and be in for a long innings to get himself across the line here!! Does Mr Reid have your vote today?..

15.01.2022 TEAM OF THE WEEK | (Read ) Deepak Puri- A fantastic start to the season for the great man. This week a swashbuckling 57 at the top of the order. Peter Dunlop- Set up the innings nicely for the 1s, had a bit of luck and made the Kings pay with 68.... Joe Morsello- A nice little return to form for the former coach, chipping in with 32. Lachie Stuckey- A standard hard hitting 31 from the SOS (shadow of spencer) which included a massive bomb!! Dylan Milligan- Making a return for his first game of the season in the 4s. Dyl did it first with the bat making 32 then claiming 2/29 off his 7 overs. Sam Fisher- Another player to contribute with both bat and ball this week. The Fishm’n chipping in with a handy 21 before claiming a vital 2/10. Sean Reid- The Reidinator was at his destructive best Saturday. Promoting himself up the order he blasted his way to a quick fire 45 before ripping through that gators middle order with 2/23. Scott McInerney- Defending 190, Scotty got the 1s off to the perfect start taking 2 early ones and finishing with an impressive 3/17. Josh McGowan- Not always easy coming on to bowl when you have the opposition 7/60 but cleaned the tail up easily to finish with another cheeky 2fa! Nixon Adcock- Just another day at the office for the great man claiming his standard 2/37, this time bowling at the death. Aaron Bailey- The specialist fielder became the destroyer, making light work of the Mt Gate tail finishing with 3/14. #fortheredandblack #gardenarmy #TOTW

15.01.2022 FINEST FALCON | The Fox has just churned out another standard spell of 8 overs 4 maidens 3/10 to breeze through to round 3. Can anyone stop this legend?..

14.01.2022 200th 1st XI GAMES!! Congratulation to former junior Falcon Dani Montague on her 200th premier 1st XI game today for Box Hill Cricket Club. During Dani's time in premier cricket, she has been renowned for her ability to not only take early wickets opening the bowling but also to tie up an end.... Dani debuted as a 17 year old in 2009/2010 and since then has featured in 8 consecutive 1st XI grand finals . 167 wickets @22.76 Best bowling of 4/9 4 x 1st XI Premiership player 2 x 1st XI T20 Titles Congrats Dani!! #fortheredandblack #gardenarmy

13.01.2022 FINEST FALCON | Round 3 Wow!! It really starts to heat up now with two very popular players to get us going in the third round. Will young Dosman upstage who many believe to be the favourite to take out the title?... Every vote counts and this one will be close!! Hayden R B Morrison ... The diligent ‘Dosmanstagram’, renowned for his painstakingly long battles with opposition bowlers has stormed into the quarter finals after dealing with CJ and Jack Marget. At 20 years young Dos has accomplished great feats, but none would compare to that of being crowned the ‘Finest Falcon’. Two drastically different batting styles up against each other as the rock-solid Dosman may have to make some calls to beat the brute force of Mitch Gregory. Mitch Gregory Mitch will have to throw the kitchen sink at Dosman this round to progress after swiftly beating club captain Pete Dunlop and club favourite Pottsy. The big-hitting middle order batsman loves entertaining the crowds and will be hoping to slide past Dos to fill the first spot in the semi-finals against a young gun of the club.

Nathan Williams The gator snapped his way past his opponent to reach this match up and will be sneaking around trying to do the same here.
