Round 3 saw Engadine face up against a strong Illawong side, who were equal 1st competition leaders.

The oppositions first two pairs they sent out were clearly their best. But to the boys credit they didn't drop their heads, and were rewarded with a wicket from Ben G.

The next pair proved much different. The momentum shifted our way. Illawongs pair were restricted to just 10 runs. Josh G kept the runs down with a solid spell of 0-7. Hunter also bowled well and collected a wicket in doing so, 1-4.

It was now our turn to bat our 1st 2 paires. 1st up was Joel and Cameron who batted well adding 15 to the score. But the 2nd partnership of Jonah and Josh H was the highlight of the day. Smashing 26 off their 6 overs. Jonah finishing with 17 and Josh H with 9.

The following week was also a tough battle between the 2 sides. Our last 3 pairs were up 1st. All were great contributions to the score. A great innings from Daniel and Scott gave us a lot of confidence. Daniel with 14 and Scott with 15.

Our turn to bowl again and the star with the ball was Jonah. Picking up 2 great wickets.

Other boys who took wickets on the day were Harry and our new recruit Ben Gersback, Josh's brother.

Overall it was a close loss to a really strong side and i'm happy with the way the guys played. Well done boys
