Week one of round one saw a tough start to the season for all four senior men's teams. The A grade lost the toss and were in the field to start the year and started in fantastic fashion with Huw Stone extracting some movement with the new ball picking up three wickets in the first session. The Stingrays were in a good position with University at 5/90 but couldn't land a killer blow and a big partnership saw the runs pile on in the last session with University finishing the day at 9/291. Huw Stone was the pick of the bowlers with 4/72 from 25 overs and a shout out to Tom Hynes who took his first A grade wicket. A big challenge next week that hopefully we can rise to.
The B grade lost the toss and were sent in, in very tough conditions. Unfortunately the innings never got going and they were bowled out for 71 with University at 5/101 in reply.
The C Grade Won the toss and had a bowl first at the High School. A pretty even day saw Uni reach 9/250 from their 80 overs. The best with the ball was Jason Samarcq who took 3/14 from 10 overs. A good batting performance next week will give us every chance of chasing down this target
It was a day to forget for the D Grade as they were sent in and after being 2/35 were bowled out for 47. Uni are 6/228 in reply and hopefully we can be better with the bat second time around next week.
I will send out another reminder later in the week but please make every effort to get back to the club for presentations and a meal this Saturday. There were some good results in the juniors including a big Century so lets make sure we get along and support the club.
