A homegrown talent will take charge of Colac district cricket reigning premier Stoneyford for the 2024-25 season.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Boyd, who made an impressive return to the sport last summer, will lead the Rattlesnakes for the first time.

It signals a big change in leadership for the CDCA powerhouse, with premiership captain-coach Matthew Love departing to join South West association club Heytesbury Princetown Storm.
