Anglesea Cricket Club has begun the search for a new coach following the departure of a popular mentor.
The Roos, who lost the A1 semi-final to Barwon Heads is looking for a replacement for the esteemed Bryan Thomas after he departed the club the day after that loss in March.
The successful candidate will be adept in match strategy and be able to build connections through the club, the Roos say.
It comes after former president Brett Venables stepped down from the job mid-season.
“We are looking forward to some exciting announcements over the coming months,” the club said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Grubbers, who finished on the bottom of the A1 table with just three victories, have had a major win with its first grade best and fairest winner and English import Zac Jones set to return for 2025-26.
Jones led the batting for Ocean Grove this summer with 345 runs at 26.54, posting scores of 99 and 78 by early November.
“Zac has been an outstanding recruit this year for the club, winning our A grade best and fairest and helping out with our younger players,” the club said in a social media post.
In A2, the Surfcoast Suns have appointed Surrey product Vik Rathore as senior batting coach for the coming season.
The club is also awaiting the result of funding applications for four-lane cricket nets with $40,000 already secured through Cricket Victoria.
And this masthead understands a star BPCA player could be tempted to play in the GCA next season.
