***Bobby’s back! Elwood appoints Ajay “Bobby” Chawla as Senior Coach*** To all our players, sponsors and supporters,

The Elwood Cricket Club is delighted to announce that dual premiership coach Ajay “Bobby” Chawla will be returning to Wattie Watson to head up our coaching programme as Senior Coach for season 2017/18.

Bob spent two very successful seasons with us in 2012 through to 2014 where Elwood won two senior premierships and played finals on a regular basis.
After departing Elwood, Bob went on join District clubs Melbourne University and Hawthorn-Monash where he was an assistant coach and captained their second XIs.
His experience in coaching and playing at a high level is extensive. He played for Denmark’s Twenty20 International side in numerous ICC tournaments and for the past four years he has been in the district cricket system where he has honed his considerable cricket coaching knowledge even further.

The club is delighted to have Bobby back, and his passion and love for the Elwood Cricket Club is genuine. He will be in this role primarily as a non-playing coach, and will be responsible for the implementation of our coaching programme.
Bobby replaces Adam Howard as head coach, who finished with us last year as our Club Champion before moving to play closer to home with Chelsea Heights. And while Howie will be sorely missed, the club is excited to have Bobby back in the green and gold, where he coached us in one of the few golden periods of the club in the past few decades. “I am excited to be back home!’ said Chawla. “I can’t wait to get underway with training and preparing for the season ahead.” “This club has a lot of great potential and talent, which I am eager to advance and develop. “ “One of the key things we did well when I was coach was working hard and working for each other.” “We had a common goal and I am hoping we can work towards the same principles this season.” “Elwood Cricket Club means a lot to me, it’s my home away from home and I am eager to hopefully assist in winning further silverware for this great club.” Bob will begin his duties immediately, as he begins planning for the season ahead, including preseason train

Great night had by all at last night's Christmas party. A huge thank you to Trevor Blaser for his organisational efforts, particularly in organising this duck cake for Cory McQuilkin-Feehan, who had made 48 ducks before his knee injury. From all at the club, we wish you a safe, merry Christmas and a very happy new year, with plenty more silverware to come.
