MDCC Round 1 Wrap
1st Grade
Round 1 saw our 1st Graders traveling to Kahibah Oval to take on Charlestown and with winning the toss our Skipper elected to bat first.
With a 52 run first wicket partnership and a 49 run 2nd wicket partnership the team was off to a strong start.
With tight bowling on a pitch with low bounce runs became harder to come by.
The guys finished with a final total of 10 for 185 off 48 overs.
Biggest contributors where: Hamish Bartlett (40), Simon Moore (36), Josh Geary (34) & Pat Darwen (25).
As the guys took to the field 2 early wickets saw Charlestown 2 for 19 after 5 overs. But a strong middle innings from Charlestown meant our lads where in for a fight.
The Game went down to the last over with Charlestown only needing 7 runs with 2 wickets in hand.
Pat Darwen was given the task to bring the boys home and with a run out 1st ball of the over and a diving catch 2nd ball from Timmy O’Neill the match ended resulting in a 6 run win.
Best with ball: Josh Geary (2-27) & Dan Morton (2-36)
