Walkerville Veterinarian Pet of the week ASSOCIATION TWENTY20 COMPETITION T20 Vs Goodwood In making the semi final last year we had the opportunity to play against the other 3 sides for play off to go through against other associations to play at Adelaide oval. We drew Goodwood and with VC Chopper tossing the coin because I had not won one he convinced us that he had and we were to bat for the first time this season. With a couple of district imports and the license to swing the guys were looking forward to it and with a long batting line up we batted well with most guys getting starts or contributing to the run tally except the Pom Hill being run out by Sturt Harper for only 2. Chopper was the main man with the bat putting the ball to all parts of the ground scoring a quick fire 71. This was set up again by a good opening partnership by the openers CJ 16 and Carlo 28. We managed to get to 163 which was par score as the outfield was fast and Walkerville Veterinarian Pet of the week – good wicket to bat on. proud sponsors of the Walkerville Cricket Club.

Beautiful conditions at Walkerville for a one day game week two and with another loss of oval greeted both teams as the heavy rain from last the toss we were bowling again and it seemed to start week was a distant memory. like the previous two games with AHOS getting off to a good start being 1‐127 and then 4‐174 with still Flinders Uni won the toss and elected to bat which another 14 overs to be bowled it look like we would be suited the Cats as our four big quicks were fired up and chasing 250 plus. ready to do some damage. We fought back well bowling them all out for 234 with Will “Maxy” Walker opened the bowling after being Knowles the only bowler to really stick to a plan and promoted from the A Grade and after a couple of bowl well.

Still we had kept them to 235 and I really thought we were still in the match as long as we batted our 50 Mal “Flash” Ayliffe was taking catches at slip, Browny overs. was great behind the stumps and young Ian and Adam were like whippets in the field. Dan “Moose” Elkins We started off well with a good opening partnership of came on to continue the damage to the Flinders top 50 before CJ fell for 24 with in form Lee moved to order as even their captain found our pressure a little number three runs continued to flow quickly before too hot to handle.

Whilst went from 3‐123 to all out for 185. With Leesy quickly taking a few risks they were aided by some some poor running out of partners he tried to go over the top one fielding and then some average bowling which saw too many times and was caught for a well made 67 them go to drinks 7/117. other than these three there was only two other to reach 15 and 11 which is just not good when only The runs kept coming after drinks as one of their chasing 234. batsmen got well on top as the luck disappeared for the Cats as a dropped catch and a few other incidents For two weeks in a row we lost quick wickets in aided Flinders towards 200. concession and only two or three scoring double figures, this just makes it hard to build a good score as Finally a couple of break troughs by Darcy and Jimmy if we go back to game one we had everybody scoring and then a run out ended the Flinders innings at 209 20 or 30 and we made 260.
