We had Penno in trouble at 5-21 in their second innings with Matty Roper taking 4-29 but we couldn’t maintain the momentum with light drizzle making it difficult to bowl and Penno were 6-78 when the game was called.
- 2nd Grade resumed at 3-40 chasing 166 and were on and off with the rain and never got going with the bat and were eventually dismissed for 129 with Sam Cullen making 25, Harry Lee 22 and Johnny Papathanisiou 20no.
- 3rd Grade were defending 9-285 and provided the day’s only highlight. The guys toiled hard in tricky wet bowling conditions to dismiss Penno for 199 with Riley Pengilly taking 3-43 whilst Amar Warpe, Damian Price and Doug Cullen picked up 2 wickets each.
- 4th Grade were chasing 217 and like 2s, were on and off the field a number of times with rain delays and only got to face 36 overs today. The guys recovered well after being 4-47 to finish 5-153 with Michael Gordon making a fine 51no and Jake Narayan 45no and the game ended in a draw.
- 5th Grade restricted Pennant Hills to 6-139 off their 40 overs with Jack Harris taking 2-14 and we were 3-6 early before some good batting by Harry McCarthy with 43 and Alex Colreavy 16 gave us a chance but the guys lost 6-27 and were dismissed for 95.
- Under 24s have made it 3 from 3 this season with a comfortable bonus point win over Georges River. After dismissing River earlier for 125 the boys cruised home 2 down in the 26th over with Xavier Tregeagle making a fine 47, Mitchell Harrison(below) an aggressive 35 and Harry Pounds looking very good again with 28no…great win boys!
