Kye Quinlan dazzled with his exceptional bowling, claiming 4 wickets for just 4 runs. Jude Shannon and Steve Wallwork each took 2 wickets, while Jacob, Tyler, Mazlyn, Tate, and Mitchell chipped in with one each. The McDonald’s Sports Awards in this group went to Jude Shannon and Mitchell Patti for their standout contributions.
The Gold Group saw a more balanced contest between bat and ball. Marshall Parker emerged as a dual threat, scoring an unbeaten 16 runs and taking 2 for 5, making him the standout player of the match. Oscar Mahoney added a solid 11 runs to the scoreboard, and Mark Wilkie batted confidently with 10 runs. Marshall Parker, Ben Watkins, and Nathaniel Backo achieved wicket maidens, while Tyler Schultz and Oscar Mahoney also picked up wickets.
