Queenscliff's Senior football coach almost upstaged a team of "legendary" local cricketers by taking a hat trick in a friendly match between the Queenscliff Football Netball (QFNC) and Queenscliff Cricket clubs (QCC).
But the three wickets came at a cost, with Steve Clark appearing to sustain a leg strain, requiring him to use a runner during his batting innings.
Clark was playing in a 'Legends' game - a curtain raiser to the annual Couta Bowl Clash between the two clubs, held on Saturday December 2.
And while no player will be expecting a call-up to the Australian first X1 after the two matches, they did deliver some spectacular catches and big hitting in front of a crowd of upwards of 100 club members and holiday makers.
The QCC won both matches. However, dubious umpiring decisions and generous scoring made it hard to know by how much.
