Fantastic effort to our Fourth XI, thank you to all that came down and supported the lads
Spotswood Cricket Club are thrilled to announce that we will be joining the Victorian Sub District Cricket Association (VSDCA) from the 2021-22 season.
4 clubs, Donvale CC, Port Melbourne CC, Strathmore CC and Spotswood CC were admitted in to the newly expanded VSDCA.
After an association with the VTCA from 1929, our club believes this move will enhance our future and create a pathway for our junior cricketers.
Our senior cricketers/teams will play under fantastic conditions in a well-structured competition. We will be tested, but I am sure the Spotty spirit will get us through.
If you are interesting in becoming part of this exciting journey please make contact with our friendly committee members.

Congratulations to our 2nd XI team on taking out the Senior Seconds Grand Final against Airport West during a 4 day battle. With Airport West winning the toss and batting, they appeared to be on track to post a good score at 3/100 after 40 overs. A run out after the tea break caused a massive batting collapse with 7 wickets falling for just 23 runs. N.Bartol the stand out bowler with 5/13 off 10 overs.
Spotty’s reply started off shaky with the early loss of wickets and closed the first days play at 4/28. The start of the second days play didn’t get any better with the loss of 3 wickets to see us at 7/70. Enter in Mark “Scorpion” Cranwell who battled hard with N.Bartol to build a 63 run partnership which got us over the 1st innings target. In trying to push for a decent lead, the final 3 wickets fell in a few overs, giving us a 12 run lead. Spotswood 1st innings total of 135. (N.Bartol 45, M.Cranwell 24)
Airport West had a better second innings effort with the bat and managed a total of 192 after 91 overs.
Spotswood in their final hit for the year would have to make the decision of chasing down the 181 target or face out 97 overs. Spotswood chose the latter. With one of the most mature innings you will ever see from a 17 year old, Our future, Jack “SOS” Fitzharris batted out 70 overs for 28. M.Short would had to have broken some form of cricketing record facing 70 balls for a duck (0). Captain Daniel McNamara had a great knock and batted some valuable time for 45 runs.
At 4/92 with 24 overs remaining Spotswood was able to hold out after a little scare when 3 fell. N.Bartol was able to hold out unbeaten on 16 with S.Hoare the other not out batsmen. (D. McNamara 45, J.Fitzharris 28)
Congratulations to our 3rd XI on winning the VTCA North/West C1 Grand Final.
Wyndhamvale won the toss and put us in to bat on a sticky wicket. Spotty made 157 in the 1st innings.
Wyndhamvale faced a determined spotswood on a belter of a pitch, only to fail at all out for 88 after 45 overs.
Spotswood finished the days play at 0/30, with a lead of 99.
Last days play saw 2 early wickets fall, but some good batting partnerships resulted in spotty reaching 4/136 and an overall lead of 205. Wyndhamvale Captain gracefully called of the game.
Congratulations to Chris Beckett on being named Man of the Match. A well deserved 5/23 off 16.5 overs and a valuable 6 not out.
