Q: The club is delighted to announce our Captain/Coaches for season 2024/25

Josh Hartill will again lead our 1st Grade squad following a stellar 2023/24 season where he scored nearly 1000 runs, was runner-up in the Emerson Rodwell Medal, named as Captain in the CTPL team of the year as well as being a regular in the Tasmanian Second XI team.

Simon Palmer takes the reins of 2nd Grade after picking up the role mid-season last season. Simon brings a wealth of experience having been a top performer mainly in our 2nd Grade team over the last 15 years where he is on the verge of becoming our leading 2nd Grade run-scorer in with a strong season this year.

Damien West will be returning to the playing ranks and mentoring our 3rd Grade squad after leading our Junior Program the past six years. Damien has led 2nd Grade for several seasons in the past and will be hoping to continue to raise the bar set by Steve Sillifant and Jack Young in recent years who have done a fantastic job to lead the 3’s to two flags in the past three seasons.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements before the week is out!!
