Rook Roost returns bigger and better than ever
Friday 17 October 2025
The innovative ‘Rook Roost’ is returning for a third season with $1,000 on the table for any cricketer who hits the Central Commissioning & Testing sign, located on the boundary fence, on the full during a senior cricket match at Tallarook.
Central Commissioning & Testing specialises in servicing the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry through air and water balancing, analysis and fault rectification on HVAC systems.
With T20 cricket now a staple of the Seymour District Cricket Association fixture, the ‘Rook Roost’ provides players with extra incentive to take the game on, with the chance to walk away with a great bonus.
The first six that hits the sign on the full will earn the batter a $1,000 prize, with any subsequent strikes netting $500.
Tallarook Cricket Club (TCC) President Mitch Itter thanked Central C&T for sponsoring the initiative.
“We’re stoked to have the ‘Rook Roost’ back for another season thanks to Damien and the Central C&T team,” he said.
“Damien is a great supporter of our club, our current Vice-President and is passionate about local sport and community.
“The ‘Rook Roost’ has added real excitement for players, with plenty getting close to leaving Tallarook with some heavy pockets.
“It’s been missed by inches and hit on the bounce several times so whoever hits it first will have a great story to tell.
“A big thank you from the TCC to Central C&T for their support.”
