VMCU Carnival Wrap Up

Our Norwood family are very proud of all of our juniors who represented the RDCA, BHRDCA and FTGDCA in this summer’s 2022/23 Victorian Metropolitan Cricket Union (VMCU) carnival.


Of the 10 comps (7 boys and 3 girls), Norwood were proud to have representatives in 7 of the comps. Some seriously great cricket was played along with lifelong friendships made.


It wasn’t just the juniors, we also had our Seniors - Natty, Josh, Tom and Jordie - all coaching a RDCA or BHRDCA team.


A huge thanks to all the families and friends of Norwood who got along to the matches to support our kids.
