Around the grounds in Hume and Whittlesea

Premier Cricket

The Greenvale Kangaroos have unveiled their first signing of the Victorian Premier Cricket off season. Musa Hussain has made the move to Section Road. Hussain played premier cricket at Essendon last season. He started last season in the first XI before dropping to the second XI. He played just four games before he joined Victorian Turf Cricket Association club East Coburg. Across all competitions last season, he took 27 wickets at an average of 19.

Australia Cup

Bundoora United’s run in the Australia Cup came to an end on Wednesday night. Facing the Bayside Argonauts, scores were locked at 0-0 at half time. The Argonauts managed to hit the front in the second half and that one goal was enough, with the Argonauts winning 1-0. Hume City is in action in round five this week.

EDFL

Greenvale made it two in a row, while Tullamarine fell short in the Essendon District Football League women’s division 1 competition. The Jets faced an unbeaten Airport West on Saturday and jumped out of the blocks early to lead by 38 points at quarter time. They were able to build from there, winning 12.9 (81)-2.3 (15). Tullamarine faced Keilor Park on Anzac Day, with the Devils winning 5.6 (36)-2.3 (15). In premier division, Westmeadows remains without a win.

FV

Whittlesea United came home with the points against Ballarat City in the FV state league 1 north-west competition on Saturday. Oliver Baldwin found the back of the net for Whittlesea in the first half to give it the lead and that would be the only goal of the game, with Whittlesea winning 1-0. After five rounds, Whittlesea sits in second spot, with three wins and two draws.
