300 GAME MILESTONE

 

One of the true modern day greats of the club in Dave Murphy played his 300th senior game for the club in Round 6. His first 299 games yielded 7028 runs including 6 centuries, a highest score of 154*, four Division 1 premierships and a Twenty20 premiership (35 Twenty20 games which aren’t counted in the 300), plus 318 catches and 97 stumpings as statistically the club’s most prolific wicketkeeper of all time. Add in 3 seasons as Division 1 captain, 7 years all up as president (3 seasons into his second stint), two seasons as treasurer and years of commitment to the club and the Pomborneit Recreation Reserve makes Dave’s achievement one to truly celebrate. Well played Spud!
