Tongala an improver?

All-rounder Clayton Watson is also returning from Echuca South to play with his former club.

He is a capable batsman who will also add to the team’s bowling options with his medium pacers.

The Blues will also look to younger players in batsman Hudson Kellett and bowler Lachie Caldwell to make further improvement this season under new coach and former star player Des Nunn.

Jayden Tucker and Adam Nunn are veterans who will be going around again to add vital experience to the team.

Tongala meets Echuca South at Echuca in this Saturday’s opening round.

All five senior grades in GM Cricket have been renamed and players have to play six games in their respective divisions to qualify for finals.

All games in all divisions are one dayers.

Kyabram Fire Brigade has a bye in the opening round and will meet Tongala at Tongala in the second round on October 17.
