Round 5 of the Home Hill Senior Cricket competition featured an impressive display by Alliance Pharmacy as they secured a strong victory over the Rookies.
Winning the toss, Alliance Pharmacy elected to bat first and laid a formidable foundation with openers Lee Watts and Mark Coventry leading the charge. Coventry showcased his batting prowess, retiring not out with a quick 51 runs from 41 balls, while Watts followed closely behind, retiring on an equally commendable 50 runs from 52 balls. The pair set the stage for a high total, supported by a sharp caught and bowled from Adam Jarvis that dismissed Hugh Smith for 26 runs. Glen Stockdale added to the Rookies' efforts by claiming JD Wilkins for 37, but Alliance Pharmacy’s innings concluded with an imposing 2/194 at the end of their 25 overs.
The Rookies began their chase with the father-son duo of Dan and Leo Olditch opening the innings. Dan anchored their effort with a solid run-a-ball 47, while contributions from brothers Thomas and Salvatore Cardillo added 27 and 16 runs respectively. Despite their commendable attempts, the Alliance bowling lineup proved too economical and effective, with JD Wilkins and Lee Watts each claiming two wickets. The Rookies ultimately fell short, posting a final total of 7/124.
In the other scheduled match, Peto’s Marine was awarded the points after the Crowned Mongrels forfeited.
The competition continues to heat up as teams vie for dominance in the Home Hill Senior Cricket season.
