U12 Orange
Well for the U12 Orange Team the start of the season was really exciting when our whole team returned (except one player). It was great to see the team again.
As always the boys kept us on the edge of our seats with some very close games, and despite some losses in the back end of our season the boys never gave up (and never lost by much). With highlights including:
- A great win against last year’s premiers.
- Caleb’s quick 21 run knock including the only six of the season.
- Huntley’s three wickets in the last over of the match.
- James’ three wickets in the one over, and two 50’s.
- Nathan’s in-swinger – ball of the season.
- Thomas’ 41 run knock, and his Kimbo Cup knock including nine runs in one over – both in tough conditions.
- Awesome wicket keeping from Josh, James, Jay and Luke.
- Great bowling from Jehan, Matt, Ben, Rishi, Owen and Yash!
U12 Green
U12 Green entered the season eager and confident from last seasons GF win. We welcomed three new team members being Resandu whom was a quiet achiever and as the season went on became a very economical bowler. Bailey, an enthusiastic fellow whose batting and bowling skills are rapidly improving and Tom who proved a handy WK stopping the ball with all parts of a bruised and battered body.
Cameron had a great season with the bat including a sensational 111* backed up by unsung hero Bailey in a terrific unbeaten last wicket stand against Beecroft.
Congratulations to Cohan for taking out the bowling award. Also a special mention for Anish whose leg spinners I believe are fantastic and Zach J who is developing great pace with his almost Jeff Thompson style. Both boys wickets taken for the year by no means reflects their ability.
Unfortunately our last two games in which we had good contests ended in draws due to weather and our chance of making the semi final of which we were on the cusp fell away.
How good were our weekly bacon and egg rolls which were cooked by the Van Meygaarden & Vink families on their portable BBQ. Even our opponents sometimes enjoyed this tradition with us. A massive thank you guys.
Special thanks to Anna our super manager and Roopal our ever reliable scorer.
