In other junior cricket news, cold conditions greeted the Far South Coast (FSC) U/16s in a must win match against South Coast Green at Albion Park on Sunday.
FSC won the toss and sent their opponents into bat with Hayden Nicholls and Joe Billman starting well with the ball.
After 12 overs, South Coast was 1/25.
Luke Unicomb started his spell with a wicket and went on to finish with 2/14 off his five overs and with support from Ben McDonald’s left arm seamers, they were 3/66.
Leg spinner Tom Griffin was introduced before the drinks break, creating several chances which the side couldn’t hold onto including the dangerous “Rutley” who went to make a solid half-century.
Rama Bateman was brought into the attack to support Tom and truly introduced himself to rep cricket by being on a hat-trick, which included three LBWs to leave South Coast at 6/79.
Despite the conditions the boys lifted in the field, creating two run outs and a slick stumping to Andrew Evelyn off Tom’s bowling.
When captain Hayden bowled danger man “Rutley”, they had dismissed their opponents for 105 in the 36th over.
All bowlers performed well and the side was great in the field.
Rama led the attack with 3/8 while Hayden and Luke took two wickets apiece.
FSC had 45 minutes to bat before lunch but openers Andrew Evelyn and Charlie Sheppard took to the attack from ball one.
The pair looked like they knock the runs off before lunch but the rain returned with the score at 0/45 off five overs, with the umpires deciding for an early lunch.
The lunch break did little to slow down the momentum as the openers raced along to 86 off 12 overs.
With the win in sight, Andrew was given out bowled for 29 when the wicketkeeper’s gloves appeared very close to the stumps.
Charlie followed his partner shortly after, hitting a return catch to the bowler for a quick fire 42 off 45 balls.
Brendan Daley (6no) and Jacob Young (10no) were left to knock off the required runs with a towering six over mid on winning the game.
It was a well deserved win for the side in trying conditions and they will now meet Shoalhaven on the road and they will be looking to be on top of their game at the crucial stage.
