Big signing for Storm
HEYTESBURY Princetown Storm has announced its first big recruit ahead of the 2025/26 cricket season, with Nestles fast bowler Matthew Price signing on.
“Identifying what we needed to improve on from last season, recruiting a fast bowler was at the top of our list,” Storm coach Matthew Love said.
“Matt is a class frontline quick bowler, we look forward to him having a leadership and mentor role around our young pace bowlers.”
Price played for the Storm last season on permit in round three against Pomborneit.
“He really enjoyed playing that game with us, it gave him a good insight to our club,” Love said.
Price took 14 wickets for Nestles in the Warrnambool Moyne and District Premier competition in 2024/25 and Love expects Price to offer plenty, not just with the ball, for the Storm.
“He’ll be a floater with the bat, he has the ability to hit a big ball.”
Love said Heytesbury/Princetown would look to retain the majority of its list and was hopeful one or two previous Storm players would make their way back.
