While the Buninyong Eleven beat the Poms in the inaugural Test in early 2011, we awaited the results of the 2012 return match with much enthusiasm. And we need to call up Australia's Marmy Army of marmalade-makers from which the Selectors will choose the next Australian Eleven to tour to England in February, 2015.
The Buninyong Eleven, however, will also tour then, up against an England Village Eleven in a classic Village versus Village match. The Selectors will be at the next Buninyong Marvellous Marmalade Fair, to be held in Buninyong, near Ballarat, Western Victoria on Saturday 31st January, 2015
Like cricket's Ashes, the MarmalAshes are never 'presented' to the winner, as occurs in some coarse, glitzy, shiny-gold ceremonies. However, a representative of the winning team may be congratulated - in the presence of the MarmalAshes - amidst much self-congratulatory back-slapping and wanton bragging provided the dignity of the Dock is respected!
Anyone associated with Buninyong and district. For example, Buninyong and district addressees; anyone belonging to Buninyong clubs, societies or organisations; anyone who supports Buninyong activities such as the Buninyong Farmers market.
Please note: A Buninyong Eleven will not be selected in 2018
The inaugural 2011 MarmalAshes winning marmalade-makers were:
Buninyong Eleven won the inaugural MarmalAshes trophy - beat England 225 runs to 210
The MarmalAshes will be retained in the Dock of the old Buninyong Courthouse, and like cricket's Ashes, will not tour but can be viewed during opening hours of the Courthouse, now the Buninyong Historical Society's Museum. For information and opening hours see: home.vicnet.net.au/~buninhis/
