Match Report: Empress Quokkas CC v Curtin

Date: Sunday, December 14, 2025 Location: W.J. Cox Oval
Time: 1.30p.m. start
Captain: Prez

It was touch and go start to the game with the Quokkas struggling to pull numbers together to get the game going. Ami had a big night, Nathan was missed, and we had Geelong Gareth filling in with a bit of a drive on his hands. I received advice to ’elect to bat’ if we get the choice to give our team ample time. Alas, the Curtin were in a worse state than us with their skipper Brandon letting me know that they were slowly pulling in. They started with their batting innings and were generous to assist us with an 11th fielder.

The Big Picture

It’s already been a busy summer, with 3 YPCA games and a tour match (including a win!), so we go into this Sundays final YPCA game for 2025 with one eye firmly on the reclining sofa and thoughts focussed on the big mid-season training camp at the Bat Bar to come.

The Big Picture

Hello to 2025. We are now into the 15th season of The Quokkas (Australian edition), which is still providing laughs and entertainment, with some story and character arcs developing and others being as flat as the horizon.

We kick off this year with a game against our old friends, The John Curtin Hotel. We’ve had a number of memorable games against The Curtin, not least; their first win, Rowdy’s 84*, their last game in the league*, my first 6 (that was actually caught by man-mountain Cassidy on the boundary), and many more.
