ARMIDALE REPORT
The under 15 Walter Taylor Shield is held in Armidale each year for all the regional rep teams, West Pennant Hills is invited to join the comp each year for a great opportunity to play against the best the NSW country has to offer. This years players included:
William Harvey Nick Colley
Ryan Nelson Oliver Maybury Rowan Love Jason Smart
James Woolnough Thomas Pratt Gerard Brooks Raj Kulkarni Harry Beer
Shaun Harkin
The week started with buckets and buckets of rain, so when we arrived we were unsure whether there would be any cricket played for the whole week. Of the 5 games we had 1.5 games washed out and a few games moved from turf onto astro turf.
Great bowling achievements for Rowan who topped the comp for wickets with 10 wickets at an amazing rate of 4.2. Jayson Smart took 7 fantastic wickets and showed maturity well beyond his years.
The bat was in difficult conditions, We had numerous boys have a good innings including James Woolnough, Raj Kulkarni and Rowan Love. Oliver Maybury was the pick of the batsman scoring consistently and also bringing our final game home to win in a very tight match.
Our aim for the week was
1- have fun
2 - win one game.
We achieved that goal on the last day when we played against Hunter Valley, the sixes hit by James Woolnough and Oliver Maybury will be remembered forever by those present.
