Good luck next year Renegades!

Back for another year, the Melbourne Stars came out in full force with our new smoke mines, green flame units, pyrotechnics and an attempt at the Guinness World record for the amount of people in one place blowing bubbles.

The Melbourne Stars lead the way all season with stellar performances both home and away. The derby on New Year's Day against their rivals the Renegades was a hot one with another packed crowd at The G. This year we had a few tricks up our sleeves for our pyro off the roof and managed to pull off a star shaped effect visible from the crowd. On top off our usual flames and rooftop pyro, we spent more time outside with the crowds doing Co2 and flame activations which amped up the atmosphere for the home games.
The Stars had the difficult task of meeting the Perth Scorchers in the semi and unfortunately didn't get there on the day. Wishing them all the luck for BBL 07!

The Melbourne Renegades had another great season but unfortunately just narrowly missed out on making the semi finals. In their last home game against the Hobart Hurricanes, the Renegades were up to bat first smashing the highest ever BBL score with a record target of 4-222. Unfortunately the Hurricanes had no intention of calling it quits and managed to come back to win by two wickets smashing another BBL record.

Hopefully next year those record breaking skills can get the Renegades the premiership they deserve!
