Eltham Wildcats Basketball Club

Vicki WARD (Eltham – Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Natural Disaster Recovery, Minister for Equality) (10:44): Congratulations, Eltham Wildcats, on your diamond jubilee, marking 60 years of continued commitment to basketball in our community. Six decades is an incredible testament to the strength and success of this amazing club of over 5000 members.

Thank you to club CEO Richard Irving and past CEOs Connor Matthews and Greg Jeffers, my collaborators on Monty secondary’s three-court basketball stadium. Thank you also to fantastic president Peter Meehan and the whole Wildcats family. This is an incredible milestone, and I am sure we will get to celebrate many more.
