Three-peat coach reappointed for upcoming season
Tuesday 19 August
The Tallarook Cricket Club (TCC) has announced the reappointment of Andy Dundon as coach for the 2025–26 SDCA season.
Dundon took on the role in 2022, with the TCC having claimed three consecutive A Grade Premierships under his guidance, a B Grade Premiership, and an Under-13s Premiership last year, marking an immensely successful period for the club. Dundon himself played in all three of the A Grade flags in addition to his coaching responsibilities.
His connection to the TCC runs deep, having progressed through the junior ranks, including an Under-16s Premiership in 2001–02, continuing the club’s strong record of retaining quality homegrown cricketers.
TCC President Mitch Itter said Dundon’s re-signing was a boost for the club as the season approaches.
“We’re absolutely delighted to have Andy on board for what we hope will be another successful season for the club,” he said.
“We’ve seen incredible growth across the board at the TCC over the past three years, both on and off the field, and we’re eager to see this continue.
“Andy has been absolutely instrumental in the success of our club and has set us up incredibly well for the future.
“He’s a great club person, a team man, and a fantastic leader, and we’re so excited to have him steer the ship once again.”
Pre-season training for the TCC kicks off on Friday, August 29, at the Hume Indoor Cricket Centre in Greenvale, with all returning and new players welcome.
“We’re getting ready to blow out the cobwebs with a couple of training sessions in Greenvale on Friday nights, with midweek sessions in Tallarook,” Mr Itter said.
“Tallarook is a great family club with a vibrant off-field culture, and we’d love to welcome some more players to our club.
“Come on down, see what all the fuss is about, and enjoy playing at the most successful club in the region.
“We can’t wait to get stuck back into cricket this summer.”
