The rainy weather early in the week that forced the cancellation of Monday's training thankfully cleared for the Home Hill Cricket Association’s junior cricket games on held on Friday, 18 October.
Three groups of eager cricketers lined up for their games under sunny skies at the Nutrien Ag Solutions Cricket Complex in Home Hill. The youngest of these, the Challengers, were playing in front of the clubhouse on the "Barry Richards Field". The children put on a good show of skills for the adults who were watching with Nicholas Marrinan winning the "Player of the Match Award" for his efforts.
Over on the astro pitches the "Hardball" games were being played by the older children. It was a one-sided affair in the "Blue" group as one team took all the wickets in the game to come away with the win. Tait Parker, Kayleah McCarthy and Corey Pensini took 2 wickets each and Chaz Moschella bowled economically to help their team achieve this. The great batting from Alex Cullen, Billy Muilwyk and Mazlyn and Tyler Smith was the highlight of the game.
The "Gold" group found scoring runs more difficult than last week as the bowling was tighter. Marshall Parker was again the top scorer with 18 runs not out, just pipping Tyler Schultz on 17. Three other batters retired, they were Ben Watkins, Jacques Gardner and Nathaniel Backo. The best bowler and winner of this week's "Player of the Match Award" was Aanav Desai who's second over was a two-wicket maiden, he finished with three wickets for the game. Mark Wilkie, Marshall Parker and Jacques Gardner all took one wicket each.
