Sugar’s over on Saturday.

Towards the end of the 2nd Grade match on Saturday,  Bective needed six runs to win with heaps of overs and wickets in hand.  Dean Hoy had just come to the crease and had scored 16 runs off 4 deliveries from the over before.
It was time to turn to our Sugar!!!!!
The ball was thrown to Sugar to have a bowl by his captain, with the cheeky words from Mark  “don’t you lose us this match, Sugar.”
The first ball of Sugar’s over.
With Dean Hoy on strike Sugar balled his first delivery. Hoy was surprised by the delivery and pushed it to the leg side for what he thought would be an easy single.  NOT when Sugar is bowling, he took off after the ball, Hoy then started to run. Sugar found that Hoy was now between him and the ball, so what does our Sugar do.
A/ Pull up and let Hoy pass and let him make his ground.
B/ Side step Hoy to collect to ball.
Or C/ Shoulder charge Dean Hoy who plays front row in Group 4 Rugby League.
You guessed it Sugar shoulder charged Dean Hoy and although Sugar ended up on his backside. Sugar did let him know, that Sugar meant business.
The 2nd ball of Sugar’s over.
You see it was a long hot day in the field. You had our President at 1st Slip and Rodney Pryor at point, both of which are not your fastest movers at the best of time let alone after a few hours in the field.
Sugar bowled and the batsmen guided the ball between our two tired old fieldsmen. Both our President and Rodney looked at each other to see who would be the first to move and chase the ball down, when suddenly Sugar like a flash, like a strike of lightning took off from his follow through and bisected both Rodney and our President who were still having a stare off. Sugar fielded the ball at the 3rd man boundary off his own bowling.
The 3rd Ball of Sugars Over.
Sugar run-up was getting longer with each delivery. As he approach the crease Mark Fisher at Keeper, our President at 1st Slip and Rod Pryor at Point were chatting SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR. The delivery was a bit too short and it ended up in the piles of gravel on the Sully Park hill. The match was over. 
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Sugar’s three ball over will never be forgotten.CITY
