New look, new name for Magpies

THE end of Sunraysia Cricket Association matches for 2022 officially marked a new look for Merbein Cricket Club.

Across all divisions, the Magpies officially unveiled the new black and white uniforms after changing the club name from the Merbein South Saints during the off-season.

The uniform had been on display in some matches, including Club Twenty20 contests, however some ordering and shipping issues meant they hadn’t been available across the board.

Merbein First Division cricketers Tony Trinick, Carlo Longeri, Angus Lang, and Jarrod Forrester posed in their new uniform, with club president Longeri saying it was an exciting time for the club.
