The 2nd Xi - LMS

23/09/2026

Vernon, Vin, Vaughany … what ever you know him as, you know he is a competitor who sets the standard for playing hard and doing whatever it takes to win. Whether he is blowing your front pad off or scoring crucial 50s in big games, Vaughan has been a match winner for the 2nd Xi for over a decade now and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Cheers Legend.

Michael Hawkins - LMS Legend

Hawko is a guaranteed run machine as the greatest Wicket Keeping Bat in Ipswich, Australia history finally receives his Legend Cap.

Hawk has now scored nearly 15,000 runs over 374 matches at an incredible average of 96.31!!!!
Scoring a fifty every 2 matches over a 13 year career is a phenomenal figure. His 185 half centuries and 5 centuries are just ridiculous.

It’s a pleasure watching you play mate - you’re one of the best in the game, counting 197 dismissals with the gloves and even 25 wickets!
Hawko!

Our very own “Nitro” Nick Murphy absolutely dominating the Last Man Stands Masters World Cup in Barbados, showing why he has consistently been ranked Number 1 in the world and selected for both the Masters and Open Australian national teams. 13 wickets in the opening three games including a hatrick vs India and a double hatrick today vs Pakistan. Leave your front pad at home for the upcoming World Champs in December because chances are Nitro will blow it off anyway. All hail the king of swing 🕺🙌

We didn’t get the chocolates in the end but another successful nationals campaign nevertheless. A solid team effort this year using the full compliment of players as we were plagued by injuries (getting old). Proud to make our fifth grand final chasing the ever elusive third title. Congratulations to Western Swingers on their victory. Special thanks also goes to our sponsors Quick60 Race Cars and Components for supporting us this year. We will be back next year thanks to Last Man Stands and Matt Turbill for another fantastic competition.
