Fifty over games betwaen the eight participants were held in Sydney frcm 8th-llth December, 1986. Flinders, Adelaide, A.N.U. and five N.S.W. unis were split into two groups for the preliminary rounds, followed by a final between groip winners. Sydney Uni were placed in a grotp with A.N.U., New England and Flinders. U.N.S.W. drew Vfollongong, Newcastle eind Adelaide. Oi Mcrday, Sydney faced A.N.U. o n St. Andrews. Sydney, led by Geoff Lovell, were stacked with batting talent thou^ the bcwling lacked specialists. A.N.U. were without many of their three day players, and were thus an un]aicwi quantity. Bowling first, Sydney ran through the A.N.U. batting line-ip, with wickets shared evenly among McLennan, Wilson, Lovell, Dight and Steinwede. Asked to get 68 runs cxi the small ground Sydney struggled against the left-arm swing of Steve Fallett before David Haniblin and Quoyle saw us home corofortably. On Tuesday Sydney fielded an unchanged eleven (the caily eleven who oould play) against U.N.E. who had also wrai the previous day. Batting first, Sydney ccnpiled 9 for 221 fron 50 overs. McLennan 54 and Tugwell 41 led the way. A solid bowling and fielding performance saw U.N.E. out for 152 in 46 overs, after they looked a threat in the middle of their innings - Lovell, 3-45, Quoyle 2- 16 and McLennan 2-25. Wednesday morning brought us back to the picturesque St. Andrews ground needing to beat Flinders to enter the final. After sending out scouts to locate and guide the opposition to the ground, Sydney took the field against Flinders vto totalled a respectable 227 for 7 - McLennan 2-24, Lovell 2-33 and Dight 2-47. Our early batting struggled again before P.Haniblin 32, McLennan 42, Quoyle 53 and a characteristic 26 not out fron seven scoring shots by Lange got us home with four overs to spare, seven down. A confident and unchanged eleven, fresh from three straight victories, aissenibled at the Village Green c h i Thursday morning to face U.N. S.V^., vto were also undefeated in preliminary games. Fielding first, Sydney restricted the 'Bank' to 18 runs from the first 10 overs. Led by Jamie Baker with 68 they totalled 194 all out in 49.2 overs. CXiqyle 3-28, McLennan 3-31 and Dight 3-49 took the wickets, v^hile a vocal U.N.E. spectator contingent let us know it wasn't Sydney Uni they supported. Sydney were travelling well at 2-49 and 5-149 at a steady scoring rate. Fron 6 for 175 we were all out for 191 in the last over, three runs short of victory. Jeff Dight was run out calling Steinwede through for a sharp single off the second ball of the over. U.N. S.V^. fielded and bowled well, and most inportantly, never considered thonselves out of the game. Warrington's 3 for 29 was match-winning bowling while Jamie Baker led his side well. Quoyle 44, and Hamblin and McLennan with 29 runs each, performed best in the loser's batting effort. Sydney Uni were far from disgraced in a game in vAvLch cricket was the winner. The younger players had an opportunity to absorb the lesscxi that it's not over 'til the final ball. losing after seeming to be in control for 90 per cent of the match is hard to swallow, but perhaps the Bank deserved such a result after a fine jcto in organising and running the carnival. Various clubs expressed interest in hosting this event this season and it is to be hoped the event is made an annual fixture. M. Wilson. AiWUAL COUNTRY TOUR Janiary, 1967. Ihe 1987 Country Ibur began inauspiciously. Logs (navigated by me) got lost in Liverpool. It looked as if the search for an innocent postage stanp had beccme the journey of a lifetime. Vfell, not quite. But w e were an hour late for the start. "An hour, t h a t ’s nothingI" Hondo exclaimed. Sure enou^, McLeod and Misha rolled ip tvo hours late, trotting out some diibious story about the car overtieating. What do you expect cars to do in Australia, harbour icicles? The tour continued inauspiciously. A funnel-web spider junped off a ledge and sat, gaping at me in the pavilion. Hew was I to know it was deadl VJho else would have noticed anyway, there was much excitement outside. Sambo and Jerker were attenpting a quick single. Somehow, Sambo, v>*io had exhausted himself playing and missing for half an hour, got home and did an involuntary impression of a dead ant for the benefit of the Goulbum wicketkeeper. More excitement. Santo' s dismissal brought in Hondo boasting loudly cibout his hooking. Two balls later, Hondo spoons a slew long hop to short square leg. The University batting has much in ccmnon with men on allotment. Both seem to potter around, stabbing at the ground occasicxially, achieving very little. Its never been much fun watching potatoes grow. Darty's sure to bring seme excitement. Sure, he did. He dropped his trousers in front of a passing wench. No, that wasn't it. But he did put a couple of deliveries into orbit. No one can remember much about the rest of the game, except that Misha dropped five catches, and Hcxido tried hard to lose the game, and then his money on the battery of fruit machines in the local Leagues club. I am still trying to vork out how Pat Rodgers took 2 for 15? The major event of the evaiing, in fact, was John Grinible's arrival. No one had expected him to find his way out of Fort Baker-Mac, but HE N M E IT. He had vrorked eighteen solid hours, so he was about a energetic as a koala. Drove to Young to the strains of the Hoodoo Gurus. Ihings eire looking up. The pitch is in the middle of the local greyhound track. It is Hanixjville. So Big Bucket hogs the crease.
