There was no sign of rain when the junior cricketers took to the Nutrien Ag Solutions fields last Friday for their second game this year. The scoring in the Challengers was close with the partnerships of Noah and Nate, and Everly and Anna producing 14 runs apiece. They were closely followed by Nahijah and Lincoln, and Corbett and Claire on 13 each.
The wickets were shared around with Lincoln, Everly, Aria, Harvey and Claire, taking one each, while Noah did one better with two. Aria and Corbett received the MacDonalds Sports Awards.
There were low scores in the 'Blue Group' where Jake top scored with 9 runs followed by Mason and Mazlyn on 6 each. Four runouts in the game may have contributed to the low totals.
The bowlers got into the action as well with Mason and Kai taking two wickets each. Kai's bowling figures were an incredible 2 for 0 runs. Jude, Mazlyn, Jake, Tyler, Billy and Tait, all took one each. Corey and Kai took home the MacDonalds Sports Awards in this game.
