The junior (u12s) have had two wins over recent weeks - we beat Flapjacks 128 to 65 - with Kelly and Hannah opening with 28, Eben and Ethan 29, Nikky and Emily 29 and James and Jesse 51.

This week we had a far tighter game against Lil Rippers.  We made 118 (Kelly and Hannah 22), Eben and Ethan 30, Nikki and Emily 23 and Jesse and James 43.)  They started well with 39 for the first pair 23 for the second (69 at the half way mark), 29 for the third and needed 28 from the last pair.  Half way through the second over they were 105 (needing 13 off 12), but we took wickets regularly to keep them to 106.  Eben's fielding in the final two overs was great with two run outs and a catch.

The seniors went down again to Sharks.  We welcomed Liam Mason and Jordan for his first game and welcomed back Josh DeHues and Daniel Bruce.  (We wish Rachael a speedy recovery from her wrist injury.)

Their first pair made 33 (to have them on par), we took three wickets in the second pair (14) to hold them to 47.  Their third pair made 30, but we took seven wickets in the final partnership to concede minus one for the last pair.

The senior team has the bye next week.
