From Junior Roots to the International Stage: DC’s Dream Comes True!

From Junior Roots to the International Stage: DC’s Dream Comes True!

For many, the lifelong dream of representing their country and pulling on the baggy green is exactly that, a dream. But for one of our own, Everton Districts Cricket Club’s very own David "DC" Colley, that dream is now a reality.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that DC has been selected in the Australia Masters O40s 'A' squad to tour Sri Lanka later this month! This incredible honor is a testament to his dedication, skill, and enduring love for the game.

DC’s journey is a story of coming full circle, reflecting the true spirit of our club:

  • He began his cricketing journey right here at EDCC, cutting his teeth in our junior ranks from U9s all the way through to U16s.
  • Following his junior development, he showcased his talents at the highest level, playing First Grade for Toombul Cricket Club for a decade, starting in 2002.
  • Five years ago, we were fortunate enough to welcome him back home to Everton, where he has been a pillar of strength, leading our senior cricketers with passion and expertise.
  • He remains a vital, active player for our club today, proving that his hunger for the game is as strong as ever.

Watching one of our own earn his place on the international stage from June 20th–27th is a proud moment for every member of the EDCC family. It serves as a powerful reminder to all our junior players that hard work, perseverance, and a deep love for your home club can lead to extraordinary places.

Please join us in sending a massive congratulations to DC! Good luck in Sri Lanka, we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way. Bring it home, DC!
