Rob Kilvington is having a blast Down Under.
Greenmount CC’s former chairman brought England some good fortune at the MCG and also had time to meet up with former Mount professional Richard Chee Quee.
“Cheeqs”, club paid man in 1994 and 1997, is lead singer of a rock band ‘Six And Out’ featuring Aussie cricket stars Brett Lee; Shane Lee; Gavin Robertson and Brad McNamara.
After club member Tim Daverage (who had the flag made through his company Lantex and went over to watch the first test) handed the GCC England Ashes flat to Rob in the Log Cabin a couple of weeks ago, Rob – travelling with son Patrick and friend Mark Lambert and his son Sam – met up with Cheeqs at a Melbourne concert and he was delighted to sign it.
Rob is also looking to meet up with other former Greenmount professionals Mark Taylor (1988) and Matthew Hayden (1992) while he is over there.
