BRETT Deledio passing the ball to Shaun Grigg isn’t what you’d expect when watching Endeavour Hills cricket.
The Richmond Football Club tandem traded the black-and-gold for the green-and-gold as they represented Endeavour Hills in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association (VSDCA) Twenty20 competition.
They weren’t just hit-and-giggle substitute players, though, as Deledio, in particular, was an exciting junior-age cricketer and claimed an Under 17 National Championship with Victoria before trading in his whites for a footy jumper.
Tuesday’s VSDCA Twenty20 Twilight clash against Croydon also featured St Kilda’s Josh Drummond as the side’s marquee player to add to the Eagles’ firepower.
Deledio’s off-spin caused a couple of headaches but, despite his credentials, the Hills were bowled out for just 94 in reply to Croydon’s 6/157.
Endeavour Hills faced Kew in day-two of VSDCA round five on Saturday.
