MATCH RESULTS

T20 B Side 24/9/2023 – Match Report by Stuart Prest

The mighty twos were back in action today with two more T20’s.
The day started well with a win over Barron River. Bowling first, Barron were skittled for just 99. Harry Halpin looked a class above with 3 wickets and in his senior cricket debut, Archie Ferguson also grabbed 3. Special mention to Shano for his no look, direct hit run out! The chase was never in doubt. A fast start from Bobby and mature knock from Danye saw us home comfortably.

The afternoon game saw us tackle the North’s B Side. Batting first we put together an impressive 2nd grade score of 132, with a couple of good partnerships between Bobby, Shano and myself. Unfortunately North’s got the runs with a couple of balls to spare. But again youngster Archie, backing up from his mornings exploits with 4 more wickets! What a great first day of senior cricket! Well played mate.

Overall a much improved performance on last week and we are well place to kick into 40 over cricket next week.
