KTC - 8/384 (S. Devenish 120, B. Gaunt 54, S. Bowen 54, C. Bourke 44*)
Defeated Rowville 4/252
The Gods have been smiling down at the shark tank - Back in
contention for finals. Devo, who has found his niche at number 3,
crafted his maiden senior hundred against the hawks and then his
brother wanted some of the spotlight and ran him out. Day two was
boring and predictable, Rowville were just batting for percentage, but it
didn't help as we are now 5th. St John's this week and all we need to do
is keep winning and we will play finals.
DIV 3 - 10/234 (T. Reid 61, D. Bowman 37*, M. Sim 31) Defeated
Rowville 10/179 (T.Reid 3/33, S. Langenberg 3/50)
4/60 early and the boys didn't look like posting a competitive enough
total, but the middle order fired and Timmy Reid top scored with 61.
Bowman git some valuable runs leading into the finals and the firetruck
made a consistent 31. MIA (after being terrorised by Skippy) Sean
Langenberg helped the boys over the line and Timmy cleaned up the
tail. Apparently Tezza took a screamer, but we have been getting
differing stories from the boys whether you dove or simply fell over, so
it is still up in the air as to a Mike's classic . Equal top and percentage
will be the key over the next two games.
DIV 5 - 5/260dec (P. Kallista 73, T. Whilesmith 63, S. Reynolds 39*, C.
Devenish 36) Defeated Knox Gardens 10/130 (K. Murphy 4/31, B. Duke
3/40) & 10/139 (M. Verdian 3/12, I. Morse 3/15)
All round great performance from the thunders saw them take
maximum points and top spot with two games to go. Murphy was
outstanding with the ball and took a Mike's Classic (Sorry Payne', but
this was a true KFC winner). Skippy and Toby smashed impressive
50's and let's hope that everything falls into place like this game, come
finals. Special mention to three catches that three different boys
managed to pull out from - we might need a new page for that.
DIV 7 - 10/380 (L. Dinon 143, C. Nied 132) Defeated Mountain Gate
10/239 (L. Dinon 3/21)
"I ain't afraid of no Ghost' well Mountain Gate should have been. The
Ghost and Niedy smashed the Gators to all parts of Windemere -
Casper even hit a six. Apparently Mountain Gates batting was slow and
put people to sleep, but that's when the Ghost does some of his best
work snagging 3/21. Fourth on the ladder and the boys play two of the
top three and need to win them both to play finals, best of luck lads -
don't leave it all to Ghost.
B1 - 7/263 (J. Stephens 51*, R. Wallace 51*, G. Pik 36) Defeated Wandin
East 8/197 (D. Morrison 4/14, J. Simmonds 3/30)
How good are these boys, they could forfeit their last three games and
still finish on top. Rob and Jason both made fifties to help the boys post
an insurmountable total of 263. The old heads then cleaned them up
with the ball 4 for not many from daisy and 3 for 30 from Johnny
Simmonds. Three games to go and the boys are just chomping at the bit
to play finals and rectfiy their shock exit from last years finals. Josh did
you drop another catch? Did it really come of the batsman's pad?
B3 - 8/142 (B. Mclean 25) Defeated Rowville 5/140 (T. Thynne 2/30)
A thriller in the sixths and Scotty's boys are back in the hunt for finals.
Bretto got a handy 25 at the latter end of the innings and got the boys
over the line. Fifth on the ladder and the boys take on fourth placed
Monbulk this week. If they can get over the line their last two matches
are against the bottom sides. C'mon Scotty First year as skipper and
you could be playing finals - we are all behind you.
U17 - 6/264 (T. Barrington 68, S. Devenish 54, J. Gstrein 34, B. Carr 32*,
J. Graffen 30) Defeated Eildon Park 10/185
Welcome back boys, but what happened - looks like the wheels are
falling off and it can't be left to Richie to try and fix it all. Well done to
Sam Roy being the only one to pass 17 and to Devo's two wickets.
Three games to go now and we need the bowlers to stand up. Batting
has been consistent to date, but more people need to stand up - Lighten
the load and enjoy the rewards together.
U15 - 7/145 (A. Cosentino 52*, J. Fenelon 30) Defeated The Basin 10/99
(A. Bye 3/5)
The boys are hitting their straps at the right end of the season. A game
clear in fourth and one more win will see the boys playing finals. Anton
smashed 52 and Jack was great support. Alex Bye was the mastermind
with the ball and The Huntsmen had no answer. Keep it up boys and
let's see all the Juniors playing finals.
U13 - 10//131 (S. Bhatia 22, T. Gstrein 19, C. Flanagan 19*) Defeated
Eildon Park Wildcats 10/111 (M. Adams 2/14)
Third on the ladder, what job Benny has done with the boys, whoops I
meant Cam. The boys made a modest total of 131 and young Trav made
a mess of his average as it is now only 102.5 - unlucky Trav. Well done
to young Mitch Adams for snagging 2/14. Third on the ladder and the
boys take on top side Belgrave - make this a practice final boys and see
how you go, best of luck. Hope your feeding that rabbit for this weeks
game Coach.
