On Sunday, 24 November, the senior representative team from the Home Hill Cricket Association travelled to Bowen for an exciting 40-over inter-town match. Bowen won the toss and chose to bat first, setting the stage for an engaging contest.
Bowen’s opening batsman, Jamarley Daley, provided a strong start, making the highest score of the innings with 61 runs before being dismissed by Alex Stillhard. Lee Watts (51 runs) and Ricky Parslow (26 runs) contributed valuable runs, helping Bowen reach a total of 8/213. Home Hill's bowling attack was led by Salavatore Cardillo, who claimed 3 wickets for 29 runs off 4 overs, and Joel Hansen, who took 2 wickets for 28 runs in 7 overs.
In response, Home Hill's run chase was anchored by Brad Parravicini and Alexander Romeo. Parravicini played a crucial role, scoring 54 runs off 64 balls before being caught and bowled. Hugh Smith stepped in next and remained unbeaten, contributing a solid 64 runs to the total. Other key contributions came from Ayden Marano (34 runs) and Alex Stillhard (26 runs), with Home Hill reaching 3/215 to claim victory with 7 overs to spare.
The Home Hill Cricket Association would like to extend its thanks to Bowen Cricket Inc. for hosting this thrilling match. Looking ahead, both teams are already gearing up for the second match in the inter-town series, which will be held at Home Hill’s cricket fields in the New Year.
