Shore Boarding

It has been a frantic start to the year for our boarding community and we hit the ground running from the very start. Boarders and their families arrived the day before school began, enjoying an afternoon tea on the Chapel Lawn after unpacking and settling in. House photos took place at 7.30am the next morning before breakfast and then the first classes of the year. Add to that pizza and birthday celebration evenings, Balmoral Beach and Sydney Kings Basketball excursions, cooking masterclasses, a boarding twilight supporters’ bus to watch the 1sts and 2nds Basketball at Riverview. And then there have been al fresco dinner outings to a local restaurant, Year 7 and 9 Study Skills evenings, BBQs, footy pies watching the Rugby, fire drills, charades, ping pong and touch footy evenings on the oval - you can see there’s been a bit on!

Our Year 7 boarders have also now well and truly settled in to the routine of Boarding and School life at Shore. Their specially-designed transition and immersion programme has been even more intense than Years 8 - 12, but it has helped the group draw closer together and already they are developing strong friendships. From enjoying sunny Balmoral and Freshwater Beaches to a not-so-sunny Harbour Cruise, learning about our rich First Nation history and making string, the boys have no doubt familiarised themselves with their surroundings, in North Sydney and beyond.

Mixed in with all the fun the boys joined their Year 7 day-boy cohort at a Study Skills evening last week which was all about getting organised for success in Senior School. The key take-home messages were all centred on practical tips for getting organised to building confidence, using their diary properly to managing stress and aiming for consistent effort. The Year 7 boarders will certainly be drawing on some of these ideas as their study load increases over the next few weeks! The smooth start to the year would not have been possible without the input of Mr Darren Junee, Mrs Cate Fryda and Mrs Cay Camden, and most especially Year 7 Boarding Co- ordinator, Mr Pienaar, who have been instrumental in helping the boys settle in.

The boarding community would like to thank our friends from the day school and our city-host families who have been so welcoming and made us feel at home and like we belong. We appreciate everything you have done for us. Brendan Morris—Senior Boarding Housemaster

British Parliamentary Debating

Folks, you may not be aware, but a new challenger approaches. Bryson Constable

Yeah that didn’t quite work out, Photoshop is expensive, but the point is a new co-curricular activity, founded by Will Nicholas and myself has been started. BP debating (or British Parliamentary debating if you want to be really fancy) is vastly different from normal debating and is far more approachable for people who have never done debating. Let me tell you 3 things that may take your interest:

1. BP Debating has interjections Unlike normal debating, where civility and manners are considered high up on the list of important happenings, in BP you are allowed to ask questions of the opposition during their speech in order to question (sorry roast) them about their speech. If you hear an inconsistency or something that just doesn’t make sense, call them out! (Nathan Spencer famously asked in the first BP debate “By the government supporting the death of Tasmania, doesn’t this mean they support Communism?”) You can see here that BP debating is not only good for conversational and debating skills, but it also leads me to my second point;

2. BP is good fun I don’t care if you think you’re the worst debater in the school and neither does anyone else in this activity. The whole point is to develop your skills and to passionately argue issues that you’re passionate about, which includes coming up with topics that you like. So far we have had the fantastic topic “That we should cut off Tasmania from ”, which not only was great for our critical thinking, it also offended the Tasmanians in the room, which is something that was amusing to watch as the debate went off. Whilst competing does mean preparing a speech, firstly this speech is only 3 minutes and secondly the atmosphere with hilarious debaters and a wacky format makes for some enjoyable competition. In my opinion, arguing with your friends over whose ideas are better is a much better way to spend Wednesday or Thursday lunchtime than eating in the rain.

3. BP debating gives you more freedom I’ve heard from a lot of people that they don’t do debating because of their fear of public speaking or because of their disgust that in normal debating they’re forced to support a side they disagree with. Now personally I find the latter the best part about debating, but nonetheless, I have to agree that it is more fun to research and argue something that you’re passionate about. That’s why when you want to register for a debate, you can pick what side you debate (how revolutionary)! Also, BP debating is not a commitment; if you only want to do 1 debate for the entire year, do it! The idea of the group is to have a good time, and with many members already signed up, you too can be a part of this event.

So grab your lunch, head to 1207 and watch a debate (or even better sign up to debate on the British Parliamentary Lampada page) and enjoy eight highly under-qualified students debate on issues that they know very little on.

When: alternating Wednesday and Thursday lunches Where: 1207 Info: British Parliamentary Debating Page on Lampada More info: speak to Bryson Constable (Yr 10), Will Nicholas (Yr 10) or Ms Horsley (MIC Debating)

2019 Trip to the Buru Homeland

During the September October holidays in 2013 Shore undertook its first trip to the Buru homeland in far north Queensland. The trip proved to be a wonderful experience for those boys who participated and we have run trips to Buru and Bana homelands every year since. This trip has become a key component of our service programme.

Shore, in partnership with Red Earth Connections, is planning another service trip for Y11 Students to the Buru and Bana homelands in the September – October holiday period this year. The dates will be Saturday 28 September to Sunday 6 October and the trip will consist of working on a sustainable project for the local community, spending time with the indigenous elders to learn about their culture and interacting with the families and especially the children of Wujal Wujal and Bana homeland.

The Buru homeland is an area on the northern fringe of the Daintree Rainforest, about 2 hours south-west of the Aboriginal community of Wujal Wujal. It is an isolated and remote area, cut off for much of the year by rain and flooding. While services are all but non-existent, Buru is a place revered by the local traditional owners.

Bana Yarralji is a small homeland between Cooktown and Wujal Wujal. It consists of only a handful of families, many who have just recently moved back to their traditional land after a successful and prolonged native title claim. Their main source of income is a ranger program that is run there in conjunction with conservation groups to help manage the land. The families still maintain ties to tradition, placing a heavy emphasis on the gathering of bush tucker and learning the native language. It is one of the only places in the world to still have wild tree kangaroos.

Our group will be camping in a central area of the Buru homeland, known as the Healing Centre, for the majority of the trip and we will be working near this site. During Term II the boys will be asked to fund- raise in order to pay for the building materials we will be using whilst working on our project. The group will do some hiking and swimming as we explore the local area and learn about the indigenous culture of the region.

Red Earth Connections is an organisation that fosters partnerships between schools and remote Indigenous Australia. It does this by giving students the opportunity to volunteer on a project from which local people truly benefit. The aim of the organisation is that schools will maintain a long-lasting connection to the land and to the people. Its vision is to connect schools to communities and communities to schools; a connection based on shared enthusiasm, shared hopes and shared experiences. More information is available on www.reo.net.au .

The cost of the trip will be approximately $3,450 per boy and 25% deposit will be due by the end of Term I.

A parent and son information evening will be held at Shore in the Playfair Hall on Monday 11 March, from 5.30 – 6.15pm.

If students are interested, please register your name with Mr Hogan by Friday 8 March via email.

The special Whatever the rest of the current Year 12 cohort guest old boy this year was Xander Jackman got out of the day, I wish all of us luck for the from the class of 2013, ready to enlighten all the year to come, as well as the rest of the school in boys, including the class of 2018, about the having another fruitful year in both studies and in truths of the mysterious domain of “actual life”. the everyday. Of course, many of the people reading this article I’d wager don’t particularly care about the HSC at this point in their school career, so I’ll try to sum up the main points of wisdom the older boys have to offer. Harry Stinson was first up to offer advice, with the core of his message being to do what you love. Contrary to the classic advice, his speech focused on personal choice, not just during the HSC year, but all through school. His insight provided a refreshing take on the way many of the current Year 12s saw the HSC year in particular, in what was a very memorable speech with some equally memorable advice. Archie Hancock then gave the more classic take of the HSC year, emphasising the need to get involved. He stressed the number of opportunities available to all Shore boys and advised everyone in the school to get involved in as much as possible, whether that be through games, in houses or in other facets of the school. Jack Stevenson finished the class of 2018 speeches with a formal recognition of the staff efforts in making the HSC year a successful one. In particular, he emphasised the impacts of the teaching staff, as well as the Director of Studies, in achieving the best possible outcome for all students.

Record Breaker

Ever heard the saying; “Records are made to be broken?” Well, recently, arguably the most iconic band of all time was dethroned from their unique position as the modern-day pop music movement showed its dominance across all of the mainstream media.

The Beatles were an English rock band that were formed in Liverpool in 1960. Featuring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they were the most influential band of the 1960s, incorporating classical elements, older pop forms and unconventional techniques in innovative ways, which evidently seemed to appeal to a very large percentage of the public. By early 1964, they were international stars, breaking numerous sales records. Their recordings, like Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966) and of course the iconic Abbey Road (1969) were amazing.

Friday, 1 March 2019 Page 132

However, the reign of the band is slowly coming to an end, as more recent stars are break- ing through. Ariana first came into the main scene of the world’s pop music industry with her single “Problem” featuring Iggy Azalea. This song received immense support from the public, go- ing from a completely unknown song to Number 1 on the Billboard 100 in just 52 minutes. It seems like ever since she first emerged from kids’ television, she was born to break rec- ords. However, it has not been all happy and “Grande” for the Italian-American singer. On the 22nd of May 2017, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device, packed with nuts and bolts to use as shrapnel, in the foyer of Arena. The attack took place after her concert that was part of her 2017 Tour. Injuring 800 people and killing 22, this attack was a devastating blow that shocked the entirety of England. This had a large effect on Ariana mentally, as she blamed herself and grieved for all of the people that had died at her own concert. Furthermore, rapper (real name Malcolm Miller) com- mitted suicide by overdose in September of 2018, and he had dated for around 5 months in early 2018. Grande was virtually harassed on social media, as she was blamed for his demons and held responsible for the rapper’s death. Finally, she was en- gaged to Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson, and that relationship ended rather abruptly towards the end of 2018. These events that she had to persevere through meant that she focused less on her music. It seemed like Ariana was gone for a short period of time, and her fans were rather unsure whether she would return. This took a toll on Ariana, as she struggled with mental illness, with these events hindering her music career. For her, it was one hell of a year. However, Grande then bounced back, and responded with her albums “thank u, next” (2019) and “sweetener” (2018) and broke the records that the Beatles had held for decades by getting 3 songs on the hottest 100. One of her songs, “” re- ceived a collective billion views on YouTube. She has also held the No.1 artist on Spotify for approximately 23 weeks. Fan or not, it is fair to say that in the circumstances, Ariana Grande’s feats in the last cou- ple of years have been truly ground breaking. She has earned the title of Pop Queen, at least for now. What can stop her?

Last Saturday’s fixture against Sydney High was a mixed bag for the 1sts and 2nds. The 2nds came through with a hard fought victory despite multiple injuries whilst the 1sts were unable to compete with a much more focused and motivated Sydney High team.

Captains’ match reports from Robbie Moore (1sts) and Jack Cudmore (2nds) follow. Highlights from this weekend’s games were:

 13 A’s with a resounding 45-16 win  13 G’s led by Mr Tzantzaris with a crushing 40-0 victory.  Mr Penn and the 4ths back in the winner’s circle with a well-deserved 20 point win.

Shore 1sts vs High

The 1sts came in to the game looking to repeat their victory against Sydney High in Term 4 last year. Away from home and facing a highly motivated team, Shore struggled from the word go.

The 1sts could not control their opponents’ attack throughout the game, which was seen in the team’s inability to deny penetration to the rim and rebound. These recurring themes during the game, as well as an energetic home crowd, led to the 1sts struggling to make shots and execute their offence. Ultimately, Shore underestimated their opponents and could not match their effort on the court. At half time Sydney High held an 8-point advantage and continued in the second half to win 99-78.

Despite an inadequate performance, this weekend the team will look to recapture its defensive edge at The King’s School.

Shore 2nds vs High

The 2nds had tough week with Will Edwards out for the remainder of the season, Liam West out for the week and other players struggling with niggling injuries. The 2nds knew it would be a difficult game against a very strong Sydney High team. Shore started slowly but were able to remain composed and hang in with the score tied at 24 all at the half.

In the third quarter the 2nds demonstrated better shot selection, solid defence and improved ball security and as a result went into the final quarter 5 points ahead. High competed well but the 2nds were able to grind out the win, 49-44. Jeremy Dahlsen finished as the game high scorer with 14 points.

Next week Shore will play The King’s School at Parramatta.

A thrilling and successful weekend for Shore Water Polo. While the change of weather restricted most of Shore sport Water Polo was in full swing across two venues over the weekend. Rain, hail or shine Dawny Warriors were in competition against 6 different schools. The 2nds cruised to victory against Cranbrook, while our 3rds and 15As were going to have tough competition against the water polo pedigree of Reddham and Scots College.

Special mention to the 14As who returned to winning ways with a hard fought victory over St Aloysius’ with Tom Serhan netting an impressive hat trick while Charlie Ashton was a standout in defence. Our 13s continue to grow in a new sport and were unlucky against Waverley and Knox.

Game of the week reviews

14As with St Aloysius’ The game showed the interesting dynamics of two teams with conflicting styles: Shore's hallmarks of slick passing and quick driving against St Aloysuis’ powerhouse centre forwards and strong outside shots. Shore started well with Tom Serhan as goalkeeper. Tom’s strong arm meant Shore was able to quickly feed the ball up the pool to speed demons Harry Underhill and Zac Izzard. Despite positive moments in attack wasted opportunities in front of goal meant the score line was 3-3 at the half.

The second half saw some excellent driving and teamwork that led to 4 goals. Communication in defence was strong, Charlie Ashton fronting up to the challenge of man marking and full press like a duck to water. Some jaw dropping saves from Alex Dowling and positive reinforcement from team mates saw the team lift as a whole and close out the game in style, keeping St Aloysius to 2 goals over the remaining two quarters. The man of the match was Liam West with an awesome performance as centre back. He completely shut down the St Aloysius centre forward. A phenomenal game as the team showed a previously undefeated St Aloysius team that Shore is a force to be reckoned with in the future. Teamwork makes the dream work!

2nds with Cranbrook This week's game against Cranbrook was a very different encounter to last week’s tough competition against CAs powerhouse Knox. From the opening swim off it was clear that the Shore boys were in a different class to the bottom of the table Cranbrook. To make the contest even more lopsided the Cranbrook team had a small bench which compounded their problems when playing in a taxing sport like Water polo. However, this was the game the Shore boys needed to blow out the cobwebs and get some practice at shooting and feeding the ball into centre forward, two things we had done poorly last week. Sam Myles started strongly snagging three goals before half time. Zac Green, Hamish Myles added to the tally and Jack Elster who had a strong performance in centre forward rounded out the first half 6 -0 in Shore’s favour. The most

Friday, 1 March 2019 Page 137

impressive aspect of this game was that it was a team performance. Seven different Shore players troubled the scorers this week and three scored multiple goals. The point position was shared between three players this week- Ethan Holt, Hamish Myles and Eddie Court. This continual change in personnel proved fruitful and Ethan Holt was particularly effective in front of goal and appeared a natural in his new position - bagging two goals. Our superb attack stemmed from a significant improvement in accuracy in passing from the team and an increase in movement during attack. Defence was also excellent all game and the communication, which has been a key area of focus in practice, had significantly improved. However a crucial point late in the game came when the self titled ‘executioner’ finally pulled the trigger during an extra man attack. Ever patient— and despite calls from coaches, teammates and the bench to shoot— Oli Andrea waited for the perfect moment to crank a screamer into the back of the net.

A big congratulations to Harry Andrea who kept a clean sheet in the cage, despite insisting that if he had been in attack he would have coverted brother Oli Andrea’s opportunity. The game ended up in a very lopsided Shore victory 11-0. All in all an impressive performance that showed significant improvements and a performance that will build our confidence. We are running 1st on the table at the moment with two games to run. We are still in the hunt for a defending our GPS premiership but we will have to reverse the curse from last year against St Aloysius this weekend.

The fourth week of SLS was blighted by the ominous presence of tropical cyclone Oma. Whilst training mid-week was not so adversely affected the threat of high swell and wind resulted in the Shore SLS inter schools carnival having to be cancelled again. Shore has been plagued by east coast lows for the past four or five years.

The Saturday morning meeting had to be relocated outside the club due to an incident before training where a surfer suffered a deep wound from his own surfboard hence an ambulance parked in the courtyard until the man in his 40s could be stabilised and taken to hospital. Two Shore boys, Kwan Berner and Oliver Leslie, were involved in reporting and managing the rescue. Oliver Leslie’s report is as follows:-

"On Saturday morning, Long Reef was conducting IRB Crewmen's and Drivers’ training just south of the flags when a man from the public came out of the water holding his leg and collapsed on the sand. Members of the IRB squad quickly attended to the man, who had a deep laceration on his inner thigh and was in a state of shock. The Surf Rescue members and off-duty Northern Beaches lifeguards were able to quickly move the man up the first-aid room where he was placed on oxygen therapy and the deep laceration was dressed. The ambulance was quick to arrive before he was administered a green whistle and taken to Northern Beaches Hospital. " Oliver Leslie Year 11

Very wild and messy conditions greeted the Year 7 Nippers on Saturday morning resulting in the cancellation of the Shore Surf Carnival. The Year 7 Nippers ran down to the pole where various theories for the reason that the pole exists were put forward.

A beach sprint relay saw several lead changes before Daniel Ivanhoe ran a strong final leg to secure the win for his team. The boys then continued their run to Dee Why Beach where they made their way around to the swimming pool. After watching the surfers taking off behind the point on the set waves each boy swam 100m in the ocean pool. The boys then moved to Dee Why Beach for a body surf between the flags. The conditions were good with protection from the southerly wind and a clean wave breaking in the flags. Finally the boys made the long run back to Long Reef.

Unfortunately with the cancellation of the Shore SLS carnival and the wild surf conditions, the Year 9 and 10 SLS group had limited opportunities to compete in open water events. But this didn’t stop the group from partaking in multiple relay style events which coupled short and long distance runs with board and swim events. Each group performed extremely well and the young men that paddled out on the boards were very competent in such trying conditions. In addition, I would personally like to congratulate Kwan Berner on his competence in providing assistance to the accident that occurred early Saturday morning on the beach. Well Done! Results for the events are as follows: Friday, 1 March 2019 Page 139

The senior group relocated to Collaroy where they witnessed the Disabled Surfers Association carry out their annual event where disabled children and adults are helped into the ocean or the pool. The students themselves practised their surf skills for an hour without the boards. This was followed by a series of ins and outs at a small reef between Collaroy and Fisherman’s Beach. Upon their return to Long Reef the now closed beach was patrolled by the remainder of the first patrol and the water safety students. The ARTC and IRBC will be the focus of the next few weeks at training.

At the Branch Carnival at Palm Beach Branch Nippers the previous week Duncan Cowan did very well in a number of events: 3rd individual board, 3rd board relay, 4th board rescue and 11thin the Ironman.

Last weekend the Shore Boat Club competed in regattas in Hen and Chicken Bay and the International Regatta Centre in Penrith. The junior squad were the first to go into action on the weekend with strong performances across the board. Our Year 8 quads showed great development to record five wins and a second place from their six starts. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these Shore boats compete on the day – the style with which they rowed and the way they continued to attack during the race were very inspiring. A highlight performance had to be the race from the 5thYear 9 Quad of Finn Baxter, Zac Warden, Thomas Adamo, Caleb Atkinson and Zach Chen as they came flying down the course almost twenty seconds in front of the next crew. Our Year 9 quads continued their dominant season recording six wins from their seven starts. This age group has shown amazing potential and are definitely starting to show what they are capable of, with some very impressive margins also coming from their races. I was very encouraged to see some of the newer rowers (John Mahoney, Finn Beachley and Edward Ellis) of this group compete so well.

Rowing at the Sydney International Regatta Centre the Year 10 squad sprung into action. They recorded one win and two second places in their three starts with a very polished performance coming from the 1st crew under the watchful eyes of their coaches, Mr Koster and Ms Wickenden. These boats then turned around to compete in the Under 17 men’s eight category and showed some tremendous oarsmanship to take out the division along with some other placings. The Year 10 2nd crew, after having been beaten by St Joseph’s earlier in the day, were able to record a good win over their rivals from Hunters Hill in the race.

The Senior Shed closed out the day with our GPS IVs squad springing into action in some new combinations and to have them all finish on the podium was a great achievement. I was very encouraged by the return to form of the 1stIV crew of Jooya Kalantar, Will Hofman, Harrison Smallcombe, Harry Nielson and Michael Bartlett, who were able to for the first time this season put themselves in the top three positions. I am looking forward very much to these crews having more time in their new combinations.

The GPS VIIIs competed next and showed great development after a week of training with the 2nd VIII in second place behind an improved Kings combination but ahead of the early season leaders, Scots College. Their race was a good showing with really the only difference between the two crews being the effort from the 250m through to the 750m of the race.

I am looking forward to seeing these boys address this through the next few weeks of the season. The GPS 1stVIII raced next and continue to prove themselves in the tight contest. This crew under the leadership of new Stroke Andy Hofman (this is the first time Andy had ever been given the “keys” of any boat he had been in) showed tremendous resolve and bravery over the 2000m course. Over the first 1000m the crew held a 1 second lead over the early challengers from Newington College and the Scots College. The pace proved too much for Newington who slipped back in the pack over the dying stages and it was Scots, St Josephs and Kings who now joined the fray at the lead of the race with less than a second separating the top four crews. As they approached the final 500m Scots slipped their bow ball in front and had a very narrow .03 of a second lead but with a final surge the men from North Sydney ensured they were on the right side of the photo finish - the fourth time this season that a photo has Glenn Bates - Rowing Master

A combination of north east ground swell from Cyclone Oma and a south-easterly wind swell made for very messy and tricky conditions for the surfers on Saturday morning. Two surfing options were a punchy beach break on a shallow bank in front of the bombie or paddling out to first reef and taking off on the messy sets hitting the bombie.

Will Kemp wasted no time pulling into a barrelling left after a steep drop on his first wave – the wave proceeded to eat him and work him on the bank. Declan Guildea and Will Kefford found some nice waves on the steep shore break while Jasper Pressley, Isaac Edwards and Tom Hawke kept busy looking for the cleaner sections.

Wave of the session went to Duncan Cowan who managed to find a nice barrel and get completely covered up before forcing his way out the doggie door. Will Kemp also impressed the coaches with his aggressive attack on the waves.

Shore Cricket had a disruptive week of training for the majority of teams and unfortunately it continued into the weekend with most fixtures abandoned with no play commencing.

The 16As managed to get on at home on D Ground and got the job done before the rain settled in. Shore were bowled out on Day 1 for 122 and resumed Day 2 having Scots 1/22. Scots moved along nicely to be 1/33 after the first 6 overs of play – but Scots were bundled out for 56 runs! Josh Brownie spun the 16As to victory taking 6/13 from 5.2 overs. In this spell Josh also collected a rare individual hat-trick! Some incredible outfield catching was on show from Harry Moses in tricky conditions which helped Shore secure the win!

The victorious 16A XI

The 14As resumed their game in the morning at home on B Ground, where Scots pushed out the remaining runs required for the win, until rain stopped play. The 13Bs batted first with some blazing stroke play with Shore being 1/174 from 22 overs (H Frewin 51 ret, M Cossart 49 n.o., R Hall 33 n,o., T Maslen 28) when rain stopped play. With most rain on Saturday fairly coastal, the 13Ds did complete a full game playing Knox Grammar in the afternoon. Shore were bowled out for 149 (J D’Arcy 44) but were defeated by Knox collecting the runs 5 wickets down for 154 (H Corcoran 2/8).

1st XI Players Jack Davis-Rice and Jackson Thomas combined well, but a late batting collapse handed Scots Victory.

1st XI Match Report – GPS Round 5 (Two Day Game) v TSC

Shore 10/149 (J Davis-Rice 45) defeated by TSC 10/167 (B Kenzie 5/49)

Shore started the second day of the 5th Round at 3/69 off 22 overs and required a further 98 runs to win on 1st innings against The Scots College. In a disappointing day Shore lost the game and were bowled out for 10/149. After 3 quick wickets fell early Scots had the advantage. Shore fought back well, with a defiant partnership between Jack Davis-Rice (45 runs) and Jackson Thomas (25 runs), taking the score to 6/145 requiring 23 runs to win. In a dramatic and disappointing batting collapse, Shore lost their last 4 wickets for 4 runs handing Scots the 1st innings win.

Shore will need to improve significantly as they prepare to take on the King’s School at Parramatta, as Kings have already won the AAGPS Competition for 2018/2019.

Shore 92 (Z Hall 22, L Easton 22*) and 1/12 defeated by TSC 204 (Z Hall 3/41, H Litchfield 2/27)

Day Two of the 2nd XI fixture at Scots Main Oval was heavily affected by rain. After a delayed start, Shore resumed its innings and after an early wicket, Luke Easton and Zac Hall batted well to push the score to 83 before a loose shot saw Hall dismissed and the innings closed soon after on 92. Shore were sent back in, but the continual interruption of rain saw the match abandoned before Shore could attempt a fourth innings route.
