STINGERS PREMIERS!!!!!

The Stingers have won the 2009 Under 15 Winter Premiership.

 

After a one run loss last year we turned the tables to win by 19 runs   against FIVE DOLLAR BILLS.  (The Bills beat us three out of four times this season.)

 

Led superbly by Huw Stone and "master tactician" Daniel Carragher we were able to pressurise the Five Dollar Bills into making mistakes. After their second pair they were 85 in quest of 112 – but superb fielding and bowling held their last two pairs to a total of 5!  It was clever fielding tactics (with Daniel at silly point – in the batters eyeline) and two catches from Huw – in three balls which kept the pressure on our opponents at key points in the game.

 

We batted first with the unusual opening pair of Daniel and Brandi (Cara and Donna had opened most of the season.) against their quickest bowler.  We made 14- with an unlucky run out on the last ball (which would have seen us at 24.)

 

Second pair Cara and Donna made had their usual reliable partnership – this time 28 – with only two dismissals (one from a rather lucky stumping.)  We were 42 at the half way mark with two of the Bills front line bowlers out of the attack.

 

Tahlia and Courtney made 32 (with neither player being dismissed) with cool sensible batting - - no fives or sevens – but 10 wides bowled to them out of 24 balls. 

 

Huw and Rachael put on an innings high 37 with one dismissal and eight balls in the last over (as wides and no balls being re- bowled.) Once again there were no fives or sevens it was just good cricket – with great running and anticipation.

The Bills got away to a great start with 35 from the first pair – with wickets to Huw (second over) and Tahlia (third over.)

Their second pair made a game high 51 – with only one wicket falling to Rachael in the last over.  Mid innings they were 85. (needing 29)

But wicket to Huw (first over) and Daniel (second over) saw them at the same score after 12 balls.  A diving catch to Hugh – close in at short mid on – and consecutive wicket to Brandi (stumping and a juggled catch from Courtney, the net and Donna) saw the third pair manage 3. 

They were 89 – needing 24 off 24 (or more) balls to go.

A run out to Daniel and a wicket to Cara in the first over meant The Bills needed 29 off 18.  Brandi's first two balls went for 4 and 2 which meant they were 91 (23 off 15).  But as they "went for it" Huw took two catches as sweeper to see them needing 29 off the last 12.  Donna's over went for 8 as they snuck every run they could with sensible batting and stealing singles.

At the start of the last over they were 96 needing 15 with a minimum of six balls remaining.

Tahlia had a no-ball when she commenced the over before the umpire's call to have them needing 13 off six.  They scored at single off the first two to need 11 off four, a dot ball third ball meant 10 off three.  Tahlia produced her trademark YORKER!!!! to shatter the stumps to put the game out of their reach (16 off two) and a run out off the second last ball gave us victory (21 off one).  The last over produced only two runs to see the Bills out for 93.

 

NOTES ON THE GAME

Ø      The Bills bowled 24 wides and two no ball.

Ø      We bowled six wides and four no balls.

Ø      Huw Stone took three catches, a wicket and made 23 runs to be player of the match.

Ø      Tahlia McGrath took 2/13 off 12 balls and made 11 runs without being dismissed.

 

Well done to all – especially the parents who have supported and transported their "chargers" this season. (Esspecially Sharon Rattray who watched the final even through Kylie is in Victoria on a camp!) 

Spare a thought for Kylie who is wending her way through the Grampions for the next 10 days and Lauren Goldsmith who missed out on the GF as there was just not enough spots!

 

To go back almost 18 months (May 2008) we put a side in this competition and we were soundly beaten in our first four outings.  The inclusion of Daniel Carragher, Nathan Ralph (2008) and Huw Stone this year have been really important in the learning of the game for all concerned.  Last year we made the GF with a one run win in the semi and a one run loss in the GF.  This year with the backbone of last year's team (Brandi, Donna, Rachael, Kylie, Courtney and Daniel) we added Tahlia, Cara, Lauren and Huw).  This year we had eight players IN EVERY GAME ( with William Greenshields filling in for one game. 

 

 

stingers in grand final

The Stingers are in the Indoor grand final next Monday after a 105 run in the semi against Emus.

In the first verses fourth game we had the mus on the back foot from the outset with two wickets in the first over (to Huw) and a run out in the second to Courtney.  Their first pair made minus 8, with the second pair making 3 and the third pair 0 we were well on top.  Their final pair made 32 - giving us 27 to chase.
Donna and Cara did as they have done all season and passed the score (34), Daniel and Brandi made 38, Rachael and Courtney 19 and Huw and Kylie put on a game high of 41.
Huw was superb in the field, Daniel pulled of a couple of brilliant stumpings and Donna produced her new "party trick" - a left handed throw at the stumps for TWO RUN OUTS!
Our opponents are this seasons rivals ( FIVE DOLLAR BILLS) who have beaten us three times this season.
They had a 90 run tie with Gold Machine - but as they finished second they went through to the Grand Final.
This will be our second gf in two years after a one run loss last year.
REMEMBER PRACTICES FRIDAY 4.30 - SUNDOWN AT BICE AND SUNDAYS 11-1 AT CHRISTIES HIGH.
We wish Kylie all the best with her hike in the Grampions over the next two weeks.

stingers top with one round to go!

Stingrays put in one of their best fielding performances to defeat The Gold Machine by 67 runs in the second last minor round game.
With a game next week over a newly formed team we expect to finish top of the Indoor table.
We batted first with Cara and Donna continued their good form, making a game high 38 for the first wicket and Brandi and Huw put on 35 to give us 73 after the first two partnerships.  Lauren and Tahlia got themselves just into positive after being minus 15 at one stage.  Rachael and Kylie looked good for a total well over 100 with 104 with two balls to go - after hitting a seven Kylie going for the 8th was run out - another wicket off the last ball left us with 94.
But our opponents first two pairs made 8 and 0 to give us control.  Huw mixed up the bowling well to keep the pressure on the Gold Machine.  The last two partnerships made 15 and 4 to finish with 27.
Just a reminder pre-season training starts Friday evening from 4.30 with further sessions on Sundays at Christies High School Gym on Sundays from 11-1.
Unfortunately for Jess the Morphett Vale Sharks SuperLeague womens team lost their Grand Final by 20 runs last weekend.  They lost two games in the minor round.

STINGERS BACK ON THE WINNING LIST

The Stingrays moved back to the top of the Indoor table with a nine run win over Dare Devils.
We started without our two assistant coaches Daniel (injured) and Huw (School camp - good luck in this weather!!!!!)
Batting first Cara and Donna made 15, Lauren and Courtney 39, Kylie and Brandi 26 and Tahlia and Rachael 20.  Our 100 proved to be just enough as the Devils made 29, 25 and 15 for their first three partnerships (69 - with 32 needed from the last pair.) Donna and Tahlia "at the death" held them to 23.
We have two more minor round games - finals are sept 14 and 21.
Thanks to Kylie and Rachael who did a great job in the absence of Huw, Daniel and Kempey.

Stingers down again to Five Dollar Bills

Having gone into match in top spot the Stingers lost to Five Dollar Bills for the third time this season.

We batted first making 68 (probably 30 runs short.)  Cara and Donna made 8 ( having been 23 at the start of the last over), Lauren and Courtney made 33 (Courtney with a seven), Rachel and Brandi made 10 and Hugh and Kylie 17.
We were passed in the ninth over, with partnerships of 25, 39 and 13.  The last pair batted for the win making 16.
We dropped 9 catches and one easy run out.
I expect we will play this team in four weeks time in the finals.
We wish Jess all the best as she goes into the finals with the Morphett Vale Sharks Women's Super League team.

stingers safe in the finals with three in a row

Stingrays made it three in a row and secured a finals birth with a 44 run win over The Gold Machine.
We batted first making 109.  Donna and Cara opened well with 32, Tahlia and Donna recovered from minus 5 to make 15, Kylie and Courtney made 25 and Laura and Huw 25.  The Goldies made 15 for their first wicket and looked to be in the game with 32 for their second.  (47)  But two run outs in the third pair (11) and outstanding outswing bowling from Tahlia (Ben Hilfenhaus) saw the last pair make 7.  Tahlia took two wickets with her first two balls to take the Bills from needing 52 to an impossible 62 for the win.
We wish team member Daniel Carraghar well with his efforts in the junior boys hockey team over the next few weeks.
