1993-94

A seventh premiership, and the first after the Fitzroy Doncaster amalgamation, came against Melbourne in 1993-94 under captain-coach John Scholes. Stephen Cottrell (4/66) and David Hampton (4/53) restricted Melbourne’s powerful batting line-up to 251. Fitzroy Doncaster lost two early wickets, but then a record partnership between Leigh Watts (131no) and Brendan Joyce (92no) took the score to 2/252 and victory.
