If you were playing ‘word bingo’ on Saturday at Northbridge, these were the winning words as showers and rain and wind and drizzle and everything in between ensured a frustrating day of play as teams came on and off all day across the seven games vs Riverview at Northbridge.
Like Dami Im on X-Factor all those years ago, the rain proved no problem, with the Shore boys performing brilliantly in the rain with six wins, three x washouts and just a single loss over the weekend.
Some outstanding performances despite the weather across the Senior School Cricket teams.
The 14Bs smashing 5-192, had a great win with Jackson Harris (50 ret), Angus Murdoch-Tilmouth (46), and Sam Cawood (28) pilling on the runs, then followed up with Harvey Ekas taking a miserly 4/6 and Patrick Old (3/17) with a wet ball and slippery ball.
The 14A’s scored a mammoth 6/207 off 32 overs, with James Story (81) and Harrison Koch (53) dominating with a 115 (90 balls) run partnership after a messy 4/24 start.
Tom Glasson (57*) and Tom Hamilton (42*) with a match winning partnership to secure a fine win away from home.
The Fifth XI BBQ Boys enjoying another fine win with Liam Hamilton (30) and Will Penney (50*) enjoying a fine partnership to ensure another win with F-ground proving to be a fortress for them.
But without a doubt the three highlights are:
With the First XI struggling at 6/39, Matt Melville (57) and Tom Fuzes (47) put up an amazing 100-run partnership , followed up by Stian Constable (46* off 33) to ensure a competitive 8-229 off 50 overs.
Henry Clifton took a brilliant 5/15 with a piece of soap in the Third XI to change the game for Shore
Toby Smith scoring a magnificent 111 in the 15A’s total of 7/197 ensuring a 50 run victory! The innings was even noticed by an Opposition father (recent Australian Test Cricketer with 56 Tests) who marveled at a number of his shots and commented how well he batted.
