The ones had a very strong win. Duncan Maher continued his fine season, taking 6/27 from 16.4 overs and now has 30 wickets for the season. Keelan Storey backed him up superbly, taking 3/13 from 11 overs to help defeat UFTG outright.
The 2s had a solid win as they cement a top two spot with one round to play. It was set up with the bat last week, with Kyle Snyman making 60* and wicketkeeper batsman Brendan Hooker making 50. Daniel Cleary was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4/37 from 17 overs to ensure they held UFTG at bay.
The 3’s beat top side SKLPS 1st XI to get a well deserved win. A spirited all-round performance was highlighted by Jason Fraser and Charlie Hooper with the bat, making 46 & 39 respectively. With the ball, Daniel Rowe (3 wickets) and Tam Noonan (2 wickets), and tight bowling from Michael Adams ensured a great win!
In the 4s, Mark Bailey made 70 from 80 balls to be the standout performer in an unfortunate loss.
Our 5ths had a great win beating Lysterfield. Tom Berman 96*, Brayden Brockwell 53 and Ming Poynton 27* were standouts with the bat, while Jason Dekkers took 4/8 with the ball.
The juniors had mixed results, with only the Fast 9s getting a win.
Our Fast 9s had a great win over Emerald, with Archer Arnott the standout making 34* and taking 2/12. He was well supported by Heath Grigg (24) and all his other teammates, in what was a great team performance with bat and ball.
The juniors finish up next weekend, and will be looking to finish on a high!!
At the club, we have our past players/life members & premiership reunion day, followed by our 5K draw! It’s going to be a big week at the MCC! Get down and support the 1s at home, before staying for a great evening.
