10E’s  2/111 defeated St Pats 12/91

A great start to the season for the boys, with a win over St Pats.  Kye was probably wondering what he had signed up for, copping a ball to the nose in warm-up, even before taking the field, resulting in a lot of the red stuff and 2 black eyes on Sunday morning. 

The birthday boy, Daniel Pascoe, took on captain duties for this match winning the toss.

Our boys showed some great batting skills, only loosing 2 wickets over the 36 overs, for an impressive 111 runs.  Jonty and Michael showed us how reliable they can be when teamed together adding a very healthy 25 runs to our score.  A couple of great 4’s from Liam, Daniel Pascoe, Luke, Zac, Jonty and Michael.

The boys showed some equally impressive skills out in the field with some great bowling from Zac with 3/4, 1/10 from Daniel Pickard, 4/5 from Luke, 2/9 from Daniel Pascoe & Liam 3/7, including an awesome caught & bowled.  In the field Daniel Pickard showed us some fantastic hands, scraping his knuckles on the dirt to take an outstanding catch, with some equally impressive catches from Zac & Liam.  Daniel Pascoe also displayed a great arm with a thrilling run out.  Connor & Lachlan backed up brilliantly & our wicket keepers, Kye, Jett, Zac, Michael & both Daniels were very safe, with very few balls getting past them.

At the end of the day, all the boys had a great time, which is what it’s all about.  This week at training I think we need to concentrate on teaching Adam how to use his counter!!
