Brett Walsh scored a handy 13 on Saturday |
Our top three grades all had similar starts to their matches, all three grades batted first, all three grades knew this match would be a test for our sides, all three grades found themselves in early trouble. Before our three grades stood their ground from early loses and through some personal achievements with the bat were able to post a competitive score. In 1st grade at one stage we were 6 wickets down for 40 runs. Until Ben Semler 69 runs and Peter Mead 64 runs put on a wonderful partnership. Brett Walsh (13) was able to keep the score rolling on, allowing City to post a competitive 170. Old Boys are also in early trouble being 3 down for 32 runs. Game on next week.
Paddy with a amazing 94 runs. |
2nd grade were in major trouble 7 for 34 and were hoping just to get to 50. But Paddy Dwyer had other ideas. Through patience and skill he completely dominated the bowling attack and just fell short of his century being given out for a amazing 94 runs.
Our 3rd grade side were not much better being 4 wickets for 26 runs.
Eddie Beattie (15) and Graeme Schwenke (24) halted the fall of wickets with a nice partnership. In the field Liam Dunn was the pick of the bowlers and Ryan Woods bowled himself to a stand still.
Our 4th grade juggernaut continues on it's merry way and have Old Boys 8 wickets down for 103 after their first 40 overs in reply City are 5 down for 113 runs at the end of their 40 overs. Neil Cooke bowled well for his four wickets with Liam Rogers scoring a nice 31 runs and the ever reliable Russell Pitt complied a 33 runs innings.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the boys did us proud CITY
