Fair effort from amateur stalwart Ormond. Claimed its 16th consecutive win today and life member Bomber Murray tells us it's a club record. Made for a happy day for 250-game milestone man Matt Oaten.

Max Oaten, 90, was out supporting grandson Nick and Ormond in the Subbies GF today. Max was himself an outstanding sportsman, playing 80 league games for South Melbourne and twice topping the Swans' goalkicking.
Tuck away the name Jock McKenzie. He's just been run out for 82 for Brighton in the @SubbiesCricket John Craig Shield final and it was a superb innings. Faced 115 balls and clipped 12 boundaries.
