RYAN CHAPPLE - 300 SENIOR GAMES

Congratulations to Ryan Chapple who this weekend brings up his 300th Senior Game for the Mighty Oaks!

Having captained our 4th XI the last couple of seasons, Chaps has stepped up to take on the leadership of our 3rd XI for Season 2026/27.

Chaps becomes just the 10th person in our club history to reach this milestone - a truly remarkable achievement.

Chaps was originally scheduled to play his 300th game last season before an untimely hamstring injury delayed festivities until this season.

All the best Chaps on your special day!!

Congratulations to Daniel Curnow who has been named Captain of the MYCA Representative Team for Season 2026!

Dan had a terrific season for our Sunday team, taking out the League Batting Average with 262 Runs @ 52.40 in addition to scoring two crucial half centuries during the finals series as our Sunday boys surged to premiership glory.

Good luck Dan in leading the boys in the MYCA rep game tomorrow! 💜💛

Congratulations again to our Mid-Year Sunday XI who on Sunday won the premiership for the third year in a row!

After losing the toss and being sent into bat, two early wickets saw us fall to 2/14 and in a spot of bother. Daniel Curnow and Robert Howes then set about steadying the ship, putting on an unbeaten partnership of 74 that ended up being the deciding factor in the match. Daniel Curnow retired on an unbeaten 52* to cap off an outstanding season with the bat that saw him be the leading run scorer in the league by a fair margin, whilst Robert Howes retired on an unbeaten 50* as he batted through the innings to provide us with much needed stability throughout. Dharmesh Patel (30*) and Chris Leutton (15*) then finished off the innings in terrific fashion, an unbeaten 48 run partnership helping push our final score to an imposing 5/199 off 35 overs.

With the ball, we never allowed our opposition to be in the hunt - early wickets setting them on the backfoot right from the start, before a steady procession of wickets and tight bowling eventually strangled them for just 96. Matt Johnson was the pick of the bowlers with 3/17 (off 7 overs), whilst Kumbu Jayasundera (2/22 off 6), Robert Howes (1/20 off 6) and Dharmesh Patel (1/15 off 4) never allowed the scoreboard to gain any momentum for Eastern Knights.

A big congratulations to all players who both played on the day and who represented the side throughout the season, as well as to our two co-captains in Robert Howes and Neeraj Raghav who led the side superbly throughout the season.

Well done Oaks on another successful winter season! 💜💛

Congratulations to Robert Howes, the winner of the Grand Final Man of the Match Award as named by the umpires!

Having made 50* with the bat, Rob then capped off his day by picking up 1/20 off 6 overs and a run-out.

This is Rob's second Grand Final Man of the Match Award having also won it in last year's premiership win.

Congratulations Doogie! 💜💛

THE THREE-PEAT IS COMPLETE!

Congratulations to our Mid-Year Sunday XI, Premiers for Season 2026! 💜💛

Happy Grand Final Day!

Good luck to our Mid-Year Sunday XI who today will be looking to complete their three-peat and go back-to-back-to-back!

There is a bit of rain about today so fingers crossed we get on - if not next Sunday is in place as a reserve day.

All the best Oaks!! 💜💛

The Oaks are through to the Grand Final!

Congratulations to our Sunday XI who yesterday completed a comprehensive victory to book their place in the big dance on Sunday!

Batting first, contributions all throughout the line-up set up a big score - with Dan and Rish both belting their way to 50 and Bhanu making 48 to propel the Oaks to 250.

With the ball, some stifling bowling meant Clayton District could never get in the hunt - with Matt picking up 4 wickets whilst Raj and Kumbu picked up 3 and 2 apiece.

Congratulations again and go the Oaks!! 💜💛

DHARMESH PATEL - 9000 SENIOR RUNS

Congratulations to Dharmesh Patel who brought up 9,000 Senior Runs for the Oaks last weekend!

A run-scoring machine over a number of years, Dharmesh becomes only the 2nd Senior player for the Oaks to reach the 9,000 run milestone and is fast closing in on the all-time record set by Sam Blackburn all the way back in 1981/82.

D's run scoring feats are capped by a magical summer during the 2018/19 Season when he scored 904 runs in our 4th XI, which still to this day remains a club record for the most runs in a single season.

Congratulations on this incredible milestone D!
