Under 10 Green
The Under 10 Green team played extremely well over the 2020/2021 season and were competitive in all games. The boys really enjoyed training each week as we worked to improve their skills as well as having fun together. Over the season, all the boys showed improvement in both batting and bowling and, best of all, played with great sportsmanship at all times.
These nine cricketers are an awesome bunch of boys and coaching them this season was both fun and rewarding. Each of them contributed to the success of the team in different ways and here are some memories:
Dean – an entertaining quick tip and run mostly paid great dividends. Found the gaps with the bat. Bowled with a keen eye getting the ball up around the batters’ feet. Quick keepers’ hands stopped many singles.
Christian – new to the team he improved his batting technique over the season scoring many valuable runs. Also worked hard on his bowling resulting in wickets for the team.
Flynn – running in from the fence he showed true stamina and a graceful bowling style. Always reliable with the bat and a keen energetic fielder.
Max – another new member to the team his patience at the crease won him great rewards with the bat. Hard work in the nets with his batting paid off this season
Josh – steady batsman who never threw his wicket away. Taking from where he left off last year, his bowling continues to grow with accuracy
Liviru – played a straight bat past the bowler with a big stride forward and bowling good line & length. Always energetic and enthusiastic in the field.
Hayden – a reliable batsman often finding the boundary all around the park. Another great season with the ball with some amazing classic catches
Ani – new to the club Ani showed the desire and enthusiasm to make sure that all balls went over the fence for “six”. His reliable bowling hitting the pitch nicely.
Zac – started leg spin bowling this year with consistent accuracy and some nice ball flight. Batting to find the gaps with some deft touches. Took some great catches all over the field.
Thanks to all parents who helped out each week, whether it be scoring, umpiring, assisting at practice or cheering the team on – it was all appreciated. Finally a special thanks to Russ our coach for another year of dedicating his time to our team!
