the Hopes for the Juniors

KTC - 6/150 (S. Devenish 34, C. Wenham 30)
Drew with Upper Ferntree Gully 2/5 (C. Wenham 1/1)

Well here we are again folks the Semi Finals. Maybe we should tell
them they need to win this week to make finals, good thinking. The Boys
gained 3 points against Upper for the washout and that point them 3
points clear and they will now face Upper Ferntree Gully at Kings Park
this Saturday and Sunday. On another note Craig Wenham and Bryn
Gaunt tied for the First XI Best and Fairest - Congratulations guys. Last
note - Please, Please, Please make it past the semi's, I don't think
Wilko's heart could take it one more time (No Pressure Dunlop).

DIV 3 - 7/279 (C. Bourke 67, T. Reid 57, T. Gstrein 49, B. Rickard 48)
Defeated Upper Ferntree Gully 5/190

What a Saturday - not only did the boys smash Upper Ferntree Gully,
but they finished the home and away season with a win that put them
on top of the table. They will now face Eildon Park on the main oval at
Fairpark Reserve on Saturday and Sunday. Finals action for the first
time in seven years, so congratulations. Best and Fairest results
caused a bit of controversy on the night with a four way tie, but well
deserved to Troy Gstrein (Happy Birthday for Saturday), Byron Rickard,
Tim Reid and Matthew Sim. The comp batting average, however went
solely to Matthew Sim with an average of 60.33, How nervous would
you have been on Saturday in junk time trying to get red ink and sew up
the average. Congatulations guys, now lets have a big week on the
track.

DIV 5 - 8/195 (D. Maclachlan 68, J. Hall 31)
Defeated Ferntree Gully 10/167 (I.Morse 4/39)

Before we talk about results - Hally what were you thinking trying to
mark he simplest of catches only to splash the simplest of catches.
There almost looked like a little bit of "oh how easy is this going to be".
On a serious note the boys will face Ferntree Gully out the back at
Fairpark Reserve after finishing top of the table. Umpires this week and
lets hope it doesnt bite us in the bum. We have been pleading for them
all year, but lets not just assume they will win it for us. Next Monday we
can relax, but until then we need to work, work, work. Congratulations
to Skippy Kallista for winning the Thirds Best and Fairest. I don't know if
it was arrogance or confidence, but Skippy guessed Saturday
afternoon exactly how many votes he got or would get - 16.

DIV 7 - 0/220 (J. Gstrein 108*, L. Dinon 89*)
Defeated Belgrave 10/218 (B. Degraff 4/33)

So RAIN is Ferntree Gully's Kryptonite, I thought only the wicked witch
of the west was worried about that. Well it is now raining Finals at the
shark tank. The boys crushed Belgrave in a must win game. Star of the
show was 15 year old Jarrod Gstrein scoring his maiden senior
hundred in front of his father (something that you will both look back on
fondly). Well done guys, they will now take on Eildon Park on Saturday
and Sunday. The Fourths Best and Fairest Winner for Season 09/10 was
the sentimental favourite - Luke Dinon. Hilarious as Luke is, he was
unable to attend the night, so he had Simon and Mark put him on
speaker throughout the count. He then made his acceptance speech
over the phone. We were awarding the Winners a pint of beer on the
night, but I had prepared a bottle of sunscreen as your prize Ghost, so
come and see me (remember these cloudy days are the worst, we
need to keep reinforcing that message). Congratulations and Good
Luck for the finals.

B1 - 4/182 (J. Simmonds 50*, J. Stephens 36, R. Wallace 36) Defeated
South East Wanderers 10/177 (G. Hall 4/19, J. Stephens 3/38)

This week is going to be one of mixed emotions for the Fifths boys.
Finishing on top of the table, the boys will either play at Fairhills or
Dobson Park (this will be confirmed later in the week) and they will take
on their arch rivals in Wandin East. They had a thrilling game in the rain
earlier on this season (Ferntree Gully definitely wouldn't have seen the
game out) and then had smashed them in their second encounter, so
the boys know they cannot take this game for granted. In Best and
Fairest news we would like to congratulate John Simmonds for winning
his second Best and Fairest at the club in three years. He just pipped
Jason Stephens in what was a thrilling vote count. Well done guys and
Good Luck for this Saturday.

B3 - 6/218 (W. Burgess 55*, K. Miller 43, L. Mckiernan 31) Defeated
Bayswater 7/211 (G. Hill 3/35)

We all said Scotty doesn't know at the start of the season, but boy were
we wrong. He picked up a few gun recruits in Burgess, Mclean
andbrought in the likes of Mckiernan and Miller to form a formidable
force. The boys will take on The Basin, who have been scratchy the last
few weeks, so nows the time to strike. Congratulations has to go out to
Wayne Burgess for winning the Sixth XI Best and Fairest and we believe
he won the comp batting average with an avergae of 88.75, but this has
yet to be confirmed with Rowville not entering their players scores yet.
Good Luck this Saturday guys, bring it home.

U17 - 4/179 (J. Graffen 53*, T. Barrington 36)
Defeated Eildon Park 6/124

With a shaky period after Christmas the boys have managed to finish
second on the table and have earnt the right to host Mulgrave, who they
have beaten this season, at Fairpark Reserve this Saturday and
Sunday. The boys needed to win this game to even make finals, but with
results going their way they now have the chance to play off in a grand
final. No holding back now. Let me assure you guys, it may not seem
like much now, but these are the games you look back on all your life -
Junior Finals with the Best of Mates. Enjoy it and enjoy all the support
you will get from senior guys on the sidelines. Remember Junior
Presentation is on the 27th of March at JPCC.

U15 - 9/67 Lost to Eildon Park 3/145

Tough game against top of the table Eildon Park, but the boys can be
proud of the fantastic year they have had. I hope everyone had fun and
know, like the rest of the club, that this group of kids will go along way
in our senior ranks in the not too distant future. Congratulations on the
year you guys have had. Don't let this be the end of your season guys,
we would love to see everyone of you at the ground on Saturday
supporting the 17's - every shark is crucial to our success on and off
the field.

U13 - 2/192 (B. Dewar 23*, M. Adams 21*, J. Carnell 21*, C. Flanagan
20*, T. Gstrein 20*, S. Bhatia 20*, R. Cox 20*)
Defeated Bayswater Belgrave 10/89 (M. Adams 3/7)

Susan Boyle eat your heart out because Cam and the Under 13's are  
Living the Dream. Needing to win of Saturday to make finals all the wee
little ones contributed, seven of them surpassing 20. The Pups will now
take on the Belgrave at Belgrave on Saturday and we wish them the
best of luck. This should be a great game as their are spies in both
camps and it will be down to pure cricketing ability and who works the
best as a team that will determine a winner. Good Luck guys, oh and
Cam Your rabbit is still alive the one that died was his brother - they all
look alike.

To the Under 11's and Under 12's well done on your years. There a
some future stars definitely coming from this litter.  Young Zac Elkins,
Liam Francis, Nathan Goodwin, Cody Macdonald and the list goes on.
We hope to see all you guys around the club this finals series and make
sure you are all back next year and hopefully playing finals.
