Round 11 Second XI Match Report versus Newington College
Saturday 25 February played at the War Memorial Playing Fields, A Ground, Northbridge
Shore 0/93 (Oscar Everett 41 (48), William Kowalski 45 (46)) defeated Newington College 10/92 (Jack Mott 3/11 (8.0), Matt Melville 2/11 (10.0), Toby Ogg 3/18 (10.0)
After last week’s heroics, our boys were in a great mental space with much belief and energy to continue taking the game to the opposition. With some rain during the week, we knew the pitch would have some juice in it, so it was a good toss to win and send Newington into bat.
Our openers, Jack Mott (3/11 (8.0)) and Chris Lovell (1/30 (4.0)), took full advantage having them 4/10 with Jack Mott taking two wickets in two balls.
Our spinners, Matt Melville (2/11 (10.0)), Toby Ogg (3/18 (10.0)), Ben Powell (0/12 (4.0)) and Jack Robson (0/7 (3.0)), continue to do an outstanding job applying pressure and breaking partnerships.
Additionally, our fielding has been superb taking all our catches and saving extra runs in the field. Newington were never able to recover bowling them all out for 92 in the 39th over.
Our goal now was to chase it down inside 25 overs to secure the two extra bonus points. I was a bit concerned after witnessing Scots failure the week before, that it may have some mental demons for our boys, but I was well off the mark.
Oscar Everett (41 (48)) and William Kowalski (45 (46)) batted maturely and intelligently. They took the game on and were rewarded with an unbeaten opening stand of 93 to get us home in the 16th over. That is now three straight wins.
This is great confidence going into a strong Riverview team who is currently sitting on equal points as us. They beat us the last time we played them, so we will be keen to continue with our winning streak and possibly move into third position.
Mr G S Tesoriero
Second XI Coach
Third XI: The Third XI enjoyed their outing to Marrickville Oval on a bright sunny day with a cooling south easterly breeze and the chance to do some serious plane spotting. Shore won the toss and batted on what looked like a decidedly dodgy deck. The top order did well to keep their wickets largely intact and we were decently placed at 3/53 at drinks.
The openers had seen off the main strike bowlers and Fergus Frater was starting to boss the lesser lights of the Newington attack. But again, the drinks break proved our demise (is there something in the Shore water?) and we collapsed to be all out for 70 after only 24 overs.
It was never going to be enough, even on a green top. Our opening pair bowled a good line and length, but the breakthroughs never came, and Newington cruised to victory in the 14th over.
Mr R J Ward
Third XI Coach
Fourth XI: After last week’s tough loss to Scots, the Fourth XI were chomping at the bit to get back in the winner’s circle and show what they are made of. Winning the toss and choosing to bat appeared to be a masterstroke, with Cal Forster blasting 24 off the second over before his innings came to an untimely end. A rush of runs and wickets saw the game heading for an early finish with Shore 4/48 after five overs. Fortunately, a steady middle order knock of 24 from Dylan Dalgliesh-Quinn got Shore’s innings back on track, before Tom Santow (33*) and Jack McRae (20*) combined for what was comfortably their best innings each of the season to put Shore in a commanding position of 9/149 after the 20 overs.
With particularly short square boundaries, the plan was to keep the ball full and straight when Shore came out into the field. While there were some mixed results in terms of sticking to this game plan, Shore was able to do enough to consistently break any Newington partnerships before they got going. Coupled with two opportunistic runouts which had Shore celebrating and the Newington batsmen berating themselves, we were able to do enough to hold on and restrict Newington to 138 off their 20 overs. A good hard-fought win against a quality opposition, exactly what was needed as preparation for this weekend’s huge fixture against Riverview. Up the Toadies!

Fourth XI Coach
16A: The 16As lost the toss and were sent into bat on a very green and soft pitch that was going to be difficult to bat on. After the first ball held in the wicket and left a divot in the pitch, the Shore batsmen knew they had a difficult task ahead of them. The Shore top order struggled to develop any sort of partnership due to a constant flow of wickets. Charlie Mott (17) was one of two batters for Shore to reach double figures and batted with real grit and determination. Shore were bowled out for 68 after 23 overs. The Shore bowlers had to be at their best if they wanted to have any chance to win the game. Unfortunately, as the game went on, the pitch began to dry out making it much easier for the Newington batsmen which saw them pass Shore’s total one down after 14 overs.
A Robinson
16A Coach
15A: Shore arrived at Newington in the hope of using last week’s momentum to fuel this week’s game. Newington won the toss and chose to bat first on a deck that looked relatively flat and hard. Shore’s bowling innings started well with Daniel Jonker bowling all six of his overs claiming figures of 2/11, while Harry Kowalski remained tight at the other end. At the halfway point, Newington were 2/68 which left the game in the balance. Shore remained patient and while only grabbing four wickets during the whole innings, they kept Newington to 4/140 which was definitely below par. Daniel Harvey continued his great form after last week’s century and scored a well-earned 50. Stian Constable at the other end was looking comfortable as well with the pair running very well between the wickets and hitting the bad ball to the boundary. Shore lost a couple of quick wickets, however the run rate was certainly not an issue. Julian Harrison came to the crease and had great intent and footwork against Newington’s spinners. He led us to victory with ten overs to spare by smashing a six over the fence and into a nearby neighbouring backyard. This win should give Shore a huge amount of confidence and hopefully, Shore can make it three in a row next week against Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview.

15A Coach
15B: The 15Bs had a good start with Lachie Richards and Nick Evans seeing out the openers. Lachie Richards was bowled out for 4, but Nick Evans remained at the crease to form a strong partnership with Charlie Ryan. Nick ended up with 24 runs and Charlie, the top scorer on 41 runs. Harry Lyons batted well for 10, hitting the game’s biggest six over long on. The Shore run-rate slowed a little with the tailenders and, with a man down, Shore posted a total of 115. Newington made a strong start and looked to control the game, but a miraculous run-out by Henry Pritchard changed the momentum of the game. The finish was tight, with Newington needing 18 runs off 18 balls to win. Shore did not let up, but with wickets in hand, Newington was able to score the winning runs.
Mr A N Mason-Jones
15B Coach
15C: On Saturday the 15C set out to play The King’s College for the second time this season, this time at home. Shore won the toss and elected to bat posting a modest total of 121 runs for the loss of five wickets in their allotted 20 overs, led by Tom Munn’s 30 not out, Malachi Warner’s 23 and Bryce Skarott’s 22. Shore’s bowling attack put up a solid performance. Tom Atkin and Ollie Bucktin got off to a great start, with Tom Atkin taking one wicket for just five runs and Ollie Bucktin picking up two wickets for 31 runs. Despite this, Kings’ batsmen fought back and took the score to 61 before the drinks break. However, Shore’s renewed efforts after the break saw them tighten their grip on the game, with Tom Munn making a crucial run out and taking two more wickets for only seven runs.

14A: Shore arrived at Newington and were sent in to bowl after losing the toss on what looked to be a sticky wicket. The Shore bowlers were accurate from the first ball and ensured no easy runs were scored. A few early chances went begging as the Newington spectators were on the edge of their seats. Thomas Hamilton, James Mathur and Jude Terry came away with a wicket each before drinks to have them 3/39. A crucial partnership from Newington saw the run-rate slowly creep up and they posted 8/128 at the end of their innings. Shore came out firing scoring nine off the first over to make a statement early. Unfortunately, wickets began to fall, and the run-rate soon was out of reach. Lachlan Boys and Cooper Glanville kept the Shore fighting spirit alive through most of the innings. Shore ended up 40 runs shy of Newington’s total as the last wicket was taken in the final over of the day.
Mr J Murphy
14A Coach
14B: Shore batted first on a sticky wicket with short boundaries. Will Howman-Giles batted very well and reached his retirement score quickly. Unfortunately, from that point we struggled to time the ball, posting a score about 30 shy of what was needed. We bowled well but were unable to defend our small total. Newington passed our score with three overs remaining.
Mr M D Webster
14B Coach
14C: The 14Cs were up against Newington at home for this week’s round and were playing on a smaller oval than normal. They were looking forward to scoring plenty of runs and seeing some batting partnerships develop. While this did happen, it was unfortunately Newington who scored plenty of runs and developed some strong batting partnerships. They batted first and totalled a whopping 188 runs from 20 overs, with a century from one of their batsmen. Shore fell into old habits by starting the game well but losing their intensity and allowing Newington to control the game. Our opening batsmen struggled to set up the scoring as wickets fell easily, with a Newington bowler getting a hattrick. But it was the tail that wagged and found some runs, our number nine batsman Liam Burtonclay scoring a career high 23 not out.
Mr C D Burke
14C Coach
13A: Newington won the toss and elected to bowl. With the wicket playing slowly and popping after some midweek rain, Shore was in some early trouble at 2-16 but recovered well to compile an excellent 4-140. Daniel Wyborn carried his bat for 55 not out, very well supported by Jack Courtenay with 46. Tom Capes bowled very well to finish with 3/8 from 5 overs, while Courtenay secured an excellent 2/2. The bowling was economical, with wickets also taken by Sam Kierse, Hugh Campbell and Toby Smith as Shore dismissed Newington for 85.
Mr B N Morris
13A Coach
13B: The under 13Bs took on the undefeated Newington team this weekend. Newington won the toss and decided to bat, which was a challenge that the home side relished. Shore made an impressive start with some great fielding and bowling, especially from Eddie Godfrey and Archie Watson, who both took three wickets. Shore restricted Newington to 55 from their 20 overs. Shore went out to bat hoping to get off to a good start, which is exactly what William Hadfield did by hitting a very impressive 21 runs. Shore reached a total of 56 in the 11th over, continuing the B team’s undefeated streak after their first three games.
Mr S Chapman
13B Coach
13C: It was great day up at Northbridge, with Shore batting first. Tom Nutt and Max Cawood opened, with Nutt scoring a quick fire 27, whilst Cawood scored 33*. Zach France and Charlie McGuiness also batted strongly, and after the 20 overs, Shore had posted a strong total of 4/123. Shore started, well and wickets were taken at regular intervals, with all bowlers pitching in. Newington had very little chance, as the attack proved too dominant. Ultimately Shore had a great day, winning convincingly.
C Smith and A Gill
13C Coaches
13D: In the third match of the season, the 13Ds faced off against Newington, having lost the coin toss. Opting to field first, Newington sent Shore in to bat for the first innings. Shore got off to a great start with some impressive opening play and quickly formed several healthy partnerships. Dash Vonwiller retired after contributing a useful 11 runs, while Lachlan Ward matched his score with 11 runs of his own. In the second innings, Newington came out to bat and immediately began losing wickets to some outstanding bowling by Dash Vonwiller (2/1) and Sid Shoemark (1/1). Sid also pulled off a remarkable runout, which triggered a middle-order collapse for Newington. Despite their best efforts, Newington fell short by 31 runs in the end, three from three!
Mr C R Tyson
13D Coach
13E: An away game at Kings saw the 13Es with a cold and early start to their Saturday. Morale was high as the boys looked to improve upon their loss the week before. Having lost the toss and being sent out to field, the team’s main target was to bowl tightly, and restrict Kings run scoring. Despite a lack of training during the week due to Year 7 Camp, Shore opened extremely strongly, with Joshua Nieland taking two wickets in the opening over, setting the tone for the entire Kings Innings. The other opening bowler Thomas Mann, took three wickets in his spell including two wickets on his last two balls, leaving him on a hattrick for the next game. The wickets didn’t stop coming for the Shore team, with all six bowlers who bowled getting at least one wicket, bowling Kings out for 33.
Belief was high amongst the Shore camp, the possibility of an opening win of the season within their grasp, as the openers went out to bat. However, the Shore team stumbled early, first falling to 3/2 and later 5/11. It was then a match winning partnership between Alexander Merrin 9* and Richard Lowe who both remained not out at the end of the game. They were able to weather the storm throughout King’s strong bowlers and opportunistically waited for the weaker bowlers to bowl bad balls, to either score runs off or add to the sundries list. Shore chased down King’s total with five wickets in hand, ending 5/37, winning their first game of the season. The team improved astronomically after their first game and head into training this week hoping to build on their skills and add another win to their tally this weekend.
