Floros family lead team to victory at Australian Indoor Cricket Championships

·

There was plenty of joy for the Floros family at this year’s Australian Indoor Cricket Championships in Ipswich, Queensland.

Five members of the Floros family play for the ACT Rockets and they led the team to victory at this year’s championship as they won the men’s cricket grand final against Queensland.

Throughout the championship, the ACT Rockets gathered 73 points, with 11 wins and one loss. South Australia came second with 55 points and Queensland came third with 43.

Former Australian player Billy Floros was the coach of ACT Rockets and nephew Matthew was the team captain during the championship. Also on the team were Matthew’s brothers, Tim and Benji, as well as their cousin Alexander.

Matthew told The Riotact prior to the competition that their family bond was a distinct advantage.

“We all grew up very close to each other and we spent plenty of time at the indoor cricket centre. We know each other’s games so well. It gives us an advantage,” he said.

Judging from the result, the Floros family was more than successful in leading the team to championship triumph.
