Match Preview: Empress Quokkas CC v The Nomads

Date: Sunday, November 30, 2025
Location: Fairfield Park Oval
Time: 1.30 p.m. start
Captain: F1

The Big Picture

The Quokkas are coming off a win. That’s right, an actual win where they scored more than the other team in allotted overs and batters. I’m pretty sure that’s how this work, though it has been a while.

We come up against our old friends The Nomads again, who we actually managed a victory against in the none-too-distant past. That victory was even more surprising than our win last week given that we hadn’t got close to beating The Nomads in 15 years of pub competition to that point.

The Big Picture

After a great weekend in Walhalla, the Empress Quokkas return enthusiastically to the YPCA and our old friends at The Rose Hote.

One of the founding members of the YPCA, we have played them intermittently through the years with some notable matches. These have included the debut of F1 (Quokka #111) and TBC (#112) in the same game!

The Big Picture

Walhalla is not widely known outside of Victoria, but those that know it are inevitably aware of the mystery that is synonymous with the place.

Not only does it share a name that has a verisimilitude to Valhalla, but it is also supposed to be the most haunted place in the State.

The Cricket Ground in the town also carries a sense of intrigue, having had the MCC (including Warwick Armstrong) play on it and being located on top of a mountain that is only accessible by foot / sherpa.

The Big Picture

Welcome back dear reader, we trust you have begun the start of Season 2025/26 with the annual mix of hope, optimism and delusion.

This summer will be The Quokkas 16th (?) in the YPCA. Where once we were the young, brash, talentless kids in town, we are now older and still without talent.

The YPCA organised (and sanctioned) T10 competition was cancelled due to lightning in the skies, rather than the sort on the field, so this match will be our first of the season.

Match Facts

Date: Sunday, February 2, 2025
Location: Fairfield Oval , Fairfield, VIC
Time: 1.45pm start
Captain: Sizzle

The Big Picture

The Quokkas go into their second match of 2025 with an 0-1 record and an “oh what fun” mindset. The first game of 2025, against The Curtin, was played in appalling conditions, with lightning and occasional downpours causing us to be on-and-off more often than Rachel and Ross.

As a result, we did only manage a 17-over game, so this Sunday should be our first actual YPCA match for the year. Huzzah.
