25.01.2022 Following last weeks announcement, Nathan at the Gazette has run an article detailing our partnership with CMYSF. Thanks to those who have donated so far! In cricket news, we are hoping to have some more clarity regarding the season in the coming week - as far as we are aware, cricket will be able to be played at Step 3 (the next Step after Sunday), which could potentially mean we start on time. In the mean time stay safe and look out for each other - particularly club members and friends in Metro Areas.

24.01.2022 WPCC Junior Registrations are now open. To register go to the following link; https://playreg.cricket.com.au/pages/reg/welcome.aspx All going well we have just over 4 weeks till first game.

24.01.2022 The Club are pleased to announce our junior coaches for the upcoming season - veteran coach, Jack Barnes (Under 14s) & a new comer - Joel Batson (Under 16s). Jack slides down to the 14s to take on the new wave of Western Park youth, with Joel coming in to provide a new voice to a group of young men who by and large have all come through the ranks together under Barnseys tutelage. These two will be supported by Kurtis Harper & Clint Ward respectively - both who were involved l...ast year with the Under 14s, with Clint having coached the side. We thank Clint for his commitment over the past few years, and look forward to seeing him be able to watch all his sons this season while still having a role to play. Having had almost the entire Under 14 & 16 playing groups experience senior cricket at varying stages last season, we look forward to monitoring and supporting our young lads in their cricket development and look forward to their continued success as young cricketers and young men in general.

23.01.2022 It's BACK! Get online and register now. Program runs on Sunday mornings. First session 10am, 6th Dec.

21.01.2022 Through our great affiliation with the Warragul Greyhounds, we are lucky enough to have been assigned a dog who is in with a chance to take out the REAL Melbourne Cup - and secure us $5,000! 'Sovereign Wind' will be racing at 8:39 tonight at Sandown (R6) in the heats for the Cup - we encourage all our members to download the 'WatchDog App' to follow along! With the TAB Melbourne Cup (held Friday November 27th) being able to be viewed live from Sandown Park, on SKY1, Thrill Of... The Chase on 7TWO or the GRV Watchdog App! Give your support for Sovereign Wind and lets get it home! Sandown Greyhounds Further details in the comments

20.01.2022 A HUGE weekend for the club with 8/8 wins, and 4 out of 5 of the inaugral (and hopefully last) COVID cups finding their new home at Western Park. See below for a quick rundown of the weekends proceedings and the members draw. Congrats to Bish, TK and Jayden!! Unfortuantely the farewell video we had prepared for Jacques has set off Facebook copyright alarms - so you'll have to head to the Willow Talk Instagram or click the link below for a depiction of how it's going to feel ...to lose Jacques: https://drive.google.com//16Senswsn3RWVxuJoJ1KMD7lts/view

18.01.2022 Our online clothing store for the upcoming season is live! With a fair amount of stock on hand (see photos in comments) the store is limited this year. Please ensure you get your orders in quick so we can get them prepared and sent off for the start of the season (cut off date is the 30th)

16.01.2022 The club will be heading to The Club Hotel tomorrow from 2pm onwards as both a catch up from the off season, as well as a chance to reflect on the recent loss of John-Paul in lieu of our own wake. All players & friends of the club are welcome to attend, we ask however that you respect the venues COVID-19 policies and abide by any rules they have in place. Pre season training also kicks off tomorrow, with the session beginning at Moe at 12pm sharp....

13.01.2022 TEAMS! A huge weekend of cricket on the horizon; with at least two of our sides playing in COVID Cup Finals, and two more well placed to book their place on Sunday! For the 5th week in a row our A Grade side remain unchanged (no doubt a club record) - and some really strong teams named throughout the remaining grades.... Good luck to E Grade/ Div 5 who play their final on Saturday before the remaining finals are completed Sunday!

12.01.2022 Another successful round of cricket with 4 wins across the 6 senior games - culminating in a great night at the club. With restrictions on training and hospitality lifting after this weekend, we are pleased to announce our first official function will be held on December 12; ‘Around the world’. Stay tuned for more details this week!

11.01.2022 The WPCC are excited to announce that we will be partnering with the Corey Maric Youth Support Foundation for the upcoming season. In a time where the mental health of our society has collectively taken a historic hit in recent months, we are pleased that this player driven initiative will be raising valuable funds for the organisation, and would like to encourage members of our community to help the cause where possible - via a 'backing' one of our participating players (see... video for details), or a donation if you prefer, using the direct link attached to this post. To get involved, please contact one of the participating players directly - or this page. Any players wishing to get on board are all encouraged to do so. Above all, we hope that this partnership can open up some conversations or support networks for our club members to utilise. With (hopefully) an end to Stage 3/4 restrictions in sight - we will be announcing an exciting club event in the next week which will no doubt provide some much needed fun and entertainment.

10.01.2022 ROUND 1 Teams (Again) After a successful COVID Cup campaign in which we won 4/5 grades, we now return to normal fixturing, with Div 1-4 & Div 6 being fielded. Div 1 & 2 will be solely Two Day Cricket, with 3 & 4 playing a mix of one day cricket, and Div 6 playing only One Day matches.... Good luck to all grades!

10.01.2022 JACK BARNES HITS A 6 OFF THE SECOND LAST BALL TO WIN THE GAME! 4/5 Covid Cups for the Park

08.01.2022 4 weeks of the season have come and gone - with over half of this being lost to rain. However, in the small amount of play we have managed to get in, on the back of some strong performances from participating players, generous community backing and a Sam Batson duck worth $150 to the foundation - we have managed to provisionally raise over $1,300 up until this point in time! We must extend a thank you to all players, friends, families and local businesses (in particular SJD law with their extremely generous contribution) for their support thus-far. If you want to support a player in their donation drive please message the page, it's not too late to jump onboard!

05.01.2022 We are very proud to be sponsoring a fantastic local show which is bringing plenty of joy in these solemn times - this weeks guest with Phil was none other than our very own Paul McCluskey. Drop a comment below and let us know you think he went - we believe he’s very George Clooney esque. maybe he just needs to lose the rinse in the hair and embrace the grey? Great work Philip Fennell!
