Val Holten

Charles Valentine "Val" Holten (15 September 1927 – 14 January 2015) was an Australian cricketer who played five first class cricket matches for Victoria between 1950–51 and 1952–53. Born in Brighton, a suburb of Melbourne, Holten was a right hand batsman and right arm medium pace bowler.

Holten first played District cricket with Melbourne Cricket Club in 1947–48. After two seasons with Melbourne, he moved to Prahran Cricket Club where he played another eight seasons; topping the District cricket averages in his first season and five seasons later topping the aggregate.[1]

Holten later joined the Sub-District club of Malvern. A dispute over coaching fees five seasons later saw him move to sub-district rivals Oakleigh. Highly successful at sub-district level, Holten was made an inaugural member of the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association (VSDCA) Hall of Fame in 2007 and in 2014 was appointed a Legend of the VSDCA.[2]
