Rain dampens top performances

Rab Noonan, 15, claimed a hat-trick. 176946_02

Four wins, a draw, and a loss wrapped up Monbulk’s Saturday results with the U12s & U13’s unfortunately heated out on Friday night.
A terrific all round performance from Brodie Emmett was not enough for the 1st XI to defeat St-Johns-Tecoma in a rain affected draw.
An awesome spell from Beau Newman (6/29 from 26 overs) followed up by 51 not out from Jim Fenby saw the 2nd XI have a good win.
Both the 3’s and 4’s also had wins in their one day games with the highlight going to 15 year old Rab Noonan who took a rare hat-trick in the 3rds (see pictured)
