Round 8 U/13's V Newcombe Cricket Club

Last weeks game saw us travel to Newcomb where upon winning the toss it was decided to bowl.

Although we managed to get only three wickets in our 27 overs, we did restrict the opposition to 82 runs.
Single wickets went to Cody Kennedy and Dylan McMahon, whilst the third came from a run out.
A pleasing aspect of the bowling performance was that we sent down eight "maidens", however, we also managed to bowl 31 Wides in the total of 82 and this is one area we need to concentrate on improving.

With the bat contributors were many. Alex Britton, Ryan Stark, Steve Topouzakis, Sam Lowe and Gavin Leather all score well.
The highlight being some lofty hitting for six from Gavin and Alex and a late "flurry" by George Gray netting 16 runs.

At the end of our allotted overs, our score was 3 for 162.

All in all a good performance and one which highlights the coaching of Drew and Adam over the last couple of weeks! Many thanks again.

This is our last game for the year and we come up against St.Josephs at Windmill Oval, Nobel Street.

Look forward to seeing you all there.
