Match Report: Empress Quokkas CC v Nomads

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

Conditions

Five Sundays in a row that the day did not feature a lot of sun. It rained on the morning of the game with threats of further rain during the day. This reduced the match down to a 21 over game!

Fielding

After losing a couple of key Quokkas, we managed to recruit the nemesis of the Nomads – Brendan O’Sullivan who the previous week had smashed a score in the 30s in under 20 deliveries! This may have helped push us to win against the always formidable Nomads.

Match Report: Empress Quokkas CC v Blackbridge CC

Walhalla Tour

Date: Sunday, November 18, 2025
Location: Walhalla Oval, Walhalla, Victoria
Time: 10.30 a.m. start
Captain: Rev

Another tour game gone, another loss. That, however, is about the only downside to game against Blackbridge CC.

A startlingly beautiful location, a fun opposition and some great times made this into a tour game to remember and a good reminder of why we do it.

As is the way with all tour games, some of the squad arrived very early (Ed, F1, Gelder, Dusty), some arrived the day before (Maxy, Fargo, TBC, Rev), some arrived on the day (Animal, Radar) and some didn’t arrive at all (Daisy).

Match Report: Quokkas CC v Rocky Ridge

An Ode to Greatness

First game of the season was against Rocky ridge
We kept them to 157 so the chase was a cinch

But the Quokkas were collapsing with wickets and woe
Until til the crease entered the wonder boy Hendo

The boy from Brunswick west was in the town
And the ridge bowlers were smashed all around

79 of the most glorious runs
Which through the gloom brought us the sun

The Big Picture

…And so we come to the last YPCA regular-season game of what has felt like a very busy season. A look back at the stats shows that we haven’t played that many matches; we’ve had one rained off and one interrupted by rain.

That being said, we’ve travelled to Harrow, played in a YPCA 10-over thing, enjoyed the Bat Bar, and had a few ripper training sessions too.

Match Report: Empress Quokkas CC v The Standard Hotel

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

Conditions

It was hot, faaaaarkin hot. Our usual start time was moved from 12:30 to 47 degrees AEST.

Details

During the week we had more than a full squad. Come game day, we just scraped an XI together. Ice Man knows how to leave the ball but apparently not a 23rd beer the night before a match. Other withdrawals were more understandable but questionable nonetheless. Hair appointment anyone?
