PREMIERSHIP skipper Braydon Walsh will play one more game of Upper Loddon cricket before moving to Darwin next month.
The Kingower star who hit a career best of 133 not out last season will spend up to a year in the Northern Territory working as a plumber before heading to Perth.
Walsh, who captained Kingower to last year’s senior association flag, is a product of the club’s junior project.
“I started there when I was about 10 and Michael Rose took us under his wing and have stayed there since,” Walsh said.
“There have been premierships but it’s the friendships forged over the last 15 or so years that are the most important thing. As a team we know when to get serious and it has never seemed a drag driving out to training or for matches.”
Walsh, who also played football for Golden Square, has recovered from shoulder reconstruction surgery and made a cricket opening round impact against Boort Yando on Saturday.
“It’s good to see everyone growing as players and people at Kingower.”
Walsh will play against Arnold this Saturday but hints “there might be one more game before I go”.
