Stage 1 junior cricket on Friday, November 8 saw Daisy Hickson's team, "The Winners" up against Kody Halliday's team, "The Champions".
The Stage 1 cricketers are generally new to cricket or transitioning from soft ball "Blaster" cricket to hard ball Stage 2 cricket.
This week each batter faced 17 balls and to encourage young players, they cannot be dismissed before facing their full number of allocated deliveries.
The Champions won the toss and elected to bat. Kody Halliday top scored with 13 runs, with Oscar Kelsall scoring seven and Brock Brown six.
Wicket takers for The Winners included Olivia Merchant with 4-11; Keegan Rhodes 1-14 and Wilson Palfreyman with 1-13.
The Winners top scorer was Keegan Rhodes with 19 runs; followed by Jack Butler with 11 runs and Annie Ebbern with 5 runs. Wicket takers for the Champions include Will Brown with 3-16; Oscar Kelsell 3-13; Kurt Fowler 2-13; Kody Halliday 1-9 and Brock Brown 1-15.
The Champions finished with a win with 106 runs with The Winners not far behind on 91 runs. Well done everyone!
