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.
We haven’t got a huge history of playing against The Standard, which is down to a couple of prevailing factors; us not being very good or fun for them to play against, and their pub not serving bowls of chips. I mean, really.
Pitch and Conditions
We are back to the sanctity of Fairfield oval this Sunday, with its lush outfields and mysterious awnings that seem to turn the shaded area into a greenhouse.
It’s looking like a warm one, with a top of 37 degrees, so a good day to hydrate and have a lot of players to call on….
Team News
…as it happens, we currently have 13 available at the time of writing. No doubt this will reduce on or closer to the day, but it sounds pretty good right now.
After looking like he belonged at another level early in the season, Santo has disappeared to…another place, which is disappointing for fans of ability but good for those with availability.
OK, the squad (at the time of writing) is:
- Prez
- F1
- Ed
- Sizzle
- Gelder
- Shooter (w/k?)
- TBC
- Dusty
- Hendo
- Stef
- Fin
- Ice
- Rev
Facts and Stats
With no updates to YPCA numbers due to the last match only having 17 overs, there isn’t much change to report here. I could mention my figures of 1-0-3-2, but (again), doesn’t count.
I’ll get onto some stats on appearances soon.
