Not because of brilliant performance on the field, (we didn’t win a damn thing) but it was the atmosphere around the place, there is a spirit returning, a culture is developing that I haven’t noticed since our Club Championship days. Maybe MUCC is getting back its “mojo”. Why do I make this sweeping statement, let me highlight some of the positives that occurred this year: • Over 120 people turned up to pre-season training, the most we have seen for years. This allowed us to re-enter another side in Gordon District competition, we now have 7 men teams playing each Saturday. Additionally, we entered a Masters team, which played every second weekend, and saw the welcome return of many old warhorses. Thanks to Terry Luckman for initiating this team, which went from strength to strength as the year went on. • We secured a sponsor, the Eastwood Hotel, not only did this assist financially, but we now had a venue to return to post match, sip a beer and tell lies. • Our new First Grade captain, Peter Procopis, had a sensational year with the bat. As Peter is a student of the University, his performances were formally recognised by MUSA, when Peter was awarded Rookie of the Year. I would like to thank Peter for his efforts, and I hope he is back to captain First Grade again next year. • Communication within the club has improved. The Tuesday morning emails were well received by all.
