The Gisborne Herald • Friday, January 29, 2021 SPORT 25 Teams look for turnaround Struggles over first and last places to feature CRICKET by Jack Malcolm BATTLES over first and last places in the DJ Barry Cup feature in Gisborne cricket this weekend, as OBR play Horouta and Gisborne Boys’ High School take on High School Old Boys. Bollywood Stars HSOB and Galaxy World GBHS are coming into the game with first-up wins under their belts against Horouta and Coastal Concrete OBR respectively in the first round of the competition. As the holiday season begins to wind down, teams are expected to be at, or near, full strength tomorrow. With rain forecast, this weekend may be the first time this season that games are called off, but teams are still preparing to play cricket tomorrow. HSOB started the new year with a shaky start in the Walker Shield T20 competition, but it was hard to know whether the reason was an off day in performance or the absence of some key players. The latter was the likely cause, as the team had to scramble just to get numbers on the field. They have proved time and time again this season that they’re nearly unstoppable when they put together a good performance.They have depth in both batting and bowling. Top-order batsmen such as Scott Tallott, Tyler Phelps, Israel Turner and Pat Udall can all win matches, while Marshall Norris and Jak Rowe are a dangerous opening pair with the ball. HSOB captain Carl Shaw said the team’s downfall this season had been individuals not taking responsibility for their performances and relying on others to step up. “I think the desire to perform can come from having pride for the crest on your chest, which is why enjoying yourself is the ON ATTACK: Graham Sharp, above left, and Luke Fisher have been in good form at the top of the order for Gisborne Boys’ High culture we are all about.
