U11 Green
The under 11 Green Team had a great season of cricket winning most of the games we played with all
the boys developing their skills, attitude and discipline. From a batting perspective, we put a big focus on judging each ball on its merits and protecting our wicket. The bowling improved significantly during the season with each of the boys getting some great wickets. We had a couple of great games against our fellow WPHCC U11 teams often coming away with the win. I would like to thank Jason Cooper for managing the team and filling in for me when I was unavailable and thanks to all the parents for supporting the team and organising drinks and a BBQ for after the games.
U11 Blue
What an amazing season! Started with almost an all new team but ended the season with an amazing group of young cricketers. As a coach I can’t wait to see the smiling faces at practice and also the sleepy eyes on game mornings. If you look at our wins, you might miss the progress that I have seen this season. I have seen bowlers who started with bowling 6 wides in an over, to bowl leg breaks on to stumps bouncing 1 metre away from the line, every ball. I have seen lighting one handed screamers being caught by a player who was scared of putting hands behind the ball. I have seen 4 runs being scored by running between
the wickets by batsmen who would almost fall down with pads and helmets on. I have seen drives getting straighter and those little brave movements towards the pitch of a fast ball, rather getting away from it. I have seen only winners this season. Good luck, cant wait for summer.
