Round 7 & 8. The under 10’s finally played at home against St. Andrews rd 7. and Croydon Ranges rd. 8. Under 12/1’s: Coach: Ian Winneke. Team Manager: John Colledge. Round 4. Finally we won a toss and decided to bat first. Addy & Dylan opened and both batted very well for a first wicket partnership of 48 with Ad- dy retiring on 31 and Dylan fell for 7. Tom Deany came in at No 3 and made 16, then Jacko who scored 11, Jay was next and unfortunately copped a really good ball first up and was gone. We were 3 for 61 when Tom Larder came out and put on a very valuable 29 run partnership before falling to an excellent one handed caught & bowled for 11. Tyler Parker was in next and enjoyed some good time out in the middle before being ran out for 19. Jett was next to bat and batted very well again making 25 runs. Liam came in at No 9 late in the innings and had instructions from the coach to watch the first couple of balls to get your eye in then hit out and Liam did exactly that hitting a GILMOUR DRAINAGE Excavator Hire quickfire 24. For all your drainage needs Both Zac Parker & Zac Duo came in with only a couple balls to face and ran 0414 306 739 for everything with Zac P sacrificing his wicket trying to get 1 last run for the team. Overall a great score by the boys batting all the overs for a total of 9/174. Then we bowled with Addy & Tom Deany opening. Addy bowling both the openers early and had them 2/4 after 5 overs. Addy finished his 6 overs with 3 maidens and taking 3/4 with 2 of those runs being 1 no ball & 1 wide so they hit 2 runs off the bat. Tom Deany bowled well although could not manage to get a wicket but did take another catch in the field, I don't think he has dropped a catch yet this season. Jett & Liam bowled next with Jett taking 1/15 and Liam 0/15. Jacko & Dylan than bowled together with Jacko taking 2/11 and getting 1 catch in the field, Dylan finished with 1/13. Jay & Zac Duo both bowled very well with Jay bowling 4 overs 3 maidens and taking 2 wickets for only 3 runs. Zac gave Tyler his first catch behind the stumps taking 1/3. Norwood all out for 76. We then batted for a further 12 overs, Jacko making 17 and Jay 6 not out. A great effort and a good win boys. John Colledge 3 Sponsors Under 12/3’s: Coach: Lachy Dennis. Team Manager: Susan Wyatt. Round 4. Round 4 saw WPCC u12-3s have their 2nd win to defeat South Croy- don CC 9/147 to 6/72. The boys are to be congratulated for reducing the extras bowled from 67 in round one to 52 in round four. Eleven maiden overs were made by 5 boys this round - compared to a total of only 4 maidens in the previous three rounds. A great bowling effort. We made 85 runs which is our highest score so far. A terrific partnership of 58 was made by Harry & Tom, with Tom being our first retiree for the season. There was plenty of excitement with 3 run outs by Tyler (2) & birthday boy Harry in the second week. Wickets were shared by Flynn (2), Harry, Liam & Tyler. Well done to all the boys. It is so pleasing to see the encouragement & team- work of all 12 players throughout the game. Thanks to the Carricks, Lorraine & Sue for their flexibility with the "alternative arrangements" for cooking the BBQ outdoors in week 2. We all look forward to another home game next round & hopefully some summery weather!

Round 4 vs Heathmont Baptist What a finish … after 92 overs it came down to 3 runs between the 2 teams. Unfortunately we were on the losing end this time around, but from all re- ports it was a thrilling finish to the game. After winning the toss on week 1 we batted first and posted a competitive 1/68 with both Harry Harvey and Dylan Maxwell batting very well after we lost our first wicket in the 6th over. The boys then eagerly took to the field and all bowled very well to have Heathmont 6/78 after their 23 overs. It was a little disappointing to miss out on the first innings points but we felt we were in a great position to win. Moving on to the second week we continued bowling and Heathmont batted very well to end up on 7/145 after their 23 overs for the night. There were a few too many extra bowled this week, however this is something we have been working on and will look to further improvements during the coming games. The successful bowlers were Dylan Maxwell – 1/7, Ben Parker – 1/4, Hunter Keen – 1/22, Matt King – 1/14, Nick Felicissimo – 1/2, Harry Harvey – 2/5. There were also 4 catches taken by Ethan Lovell, Jake Deandrade, Dylan Maxwell and an apology as the last fielder was not written in the book. From here our run chase started and both Harry and Dylan retired after reaching 26 runs each. Cont... Again our focus at training on defending the good balls and attacking the bad ones appears to be working as we only lost a further 2 wickets for the rest of GILMOUR DRAINAGE the innings. Connor McGuire batted very well for 18 runs before being dis- Excavator Hire missed, followed on by Matt King and Liam Brown who batted out the rest of For all your drainage needs 0414 306 739 the innings. P.S. On last games match report I short changed some of the bowlers as I only reported 4 out of 9 wickets, so here’s a quick summary: Jake Deandrade – 1/10, Dean Papas – 2/6, Antonio Felicissimo – 2/5, Nick Felicissimo – 2/7, Matt King – 1/13 and Liam Brown – 1/16. 5 Sponsors Under 14/1’s: Coach: Deon Vos.
