Taylor and King nominated for Future Star Award

After making his 1^st XI debut last season, Prahran’s Jack Taylor has cemented his spot in the side with an impressive all-round performance last month.

He contributed in all of his innings with his highlight a defiant 49 against St Kilda last round when he top-scored on a difficult pitch.

Commonwealth Bank VicSpirit rookie Alana King has had a flying start to the season for Dandenong, having made 32, 28, and 24 in her three matches, while also claiming 3-13 and 2-51.
