🦓 PLAYER ANNOUNCEMENT 🦓

You might know him as 🇦🇺 Kookaburra Batmaker but to us at the Zebras, he’s Lachlan Dinger, and we are thrilled to welcome him to Forest Hill Cricket Club for season 26/27 and beyond!

Ding joins us off the back of a stint in Cricket Southern Bayside with notable achievements including a rapid Man Of the Match 73* in the 25/26 one day final.

Already meshing well with the pre season group, we’ve heard rumblings that his leggies are causing all sorts of issues for our bats too!

The season itself is not far away & we can’t wait to have Lachlan, partner Zoe and baby Oscar all part of the family at Zebraland on a Saturday.

🦓 Coaching Update 🦓

FHCC will add a third string to its coaching bow this season with Lachie Manchee taking on a development role as a fielding & fitness coach for the Senior Group!

As a future leader of the club, it’s awesome to see a young person like Lach put himself forward and want to assist players in improving all aspects on field.

We can’t wait to see Lachie in this role and are super proud of him for stepping up and taking it on, making for even stronger leadership at the Zebs in 26/27.
