Keatley Tomcats Cricket Club

The Keatley TomCats are a backyard cricket club who play under the Trifecta Cricket Association, However despite being the first expansion side the Tomcats have made limited TCA appearances.

History
The second Keatley franchise were formed by T. Keatley in late 2013, to then making their debut at Trifecta Cup 3. There was plenty of potential about this young and up coming side and its showed by them making 2 Grand Finals in 3 appearances. The TomCats lack competing in successive Trifecta's, they played in Trifecta 10 and 11 but are rumored to miss the next few Trifecta's.

Trifecta Cup Results

Trifecta 10: 2nd Defeated by Davies Bulldogs in Grand Final.

Colours and Identity
The TomCats wear a blue top with shades of black and white shorts as their current home and away strip. Young T.Keatley came about the name of the TomCats from their obsessiveness of the Geelong Football club, their passion for the cats shows on the Backyard surface with how competitive and tough they are to beat, shades of the 'greatest team of all'.

Home Ground
The Keatley Cricket Ground, home of both the TomCats and Keatley RedGoats, is the spiritual home of Trifecta cricket.

The Trifecta Cricket Association was born within the offices of the ground and Trifecta 1 through to Trifecta 4 were hosted by the KCG. In March 2014 it was announced the historical ground would be retired from Trifecta Cups indefinitely.

The ground is a simple ground to play on. A square grassed area is used as the main playing area with bark surfaces in the outfield. Short boundaries are contrasted by short fences making aggressive batting a high risk/high reward tactic. To the off side there is a small canopy area, which when the ball is played there by the batsman is a guarantee of two runs. Today the KCG is quoted by spectators "You could play lawn bowls on here its that immaculate!".

Keatley RedGoats:
While these two teams go through training and exhibition matches together at a shared home ground, official Cup matches are feisty and as such this is considered to be a local derby. Still to this day the TomCats have a major edge over their older rivals and seem to have their measure for quite some time to come.
