Willow Talk #10 - Week Ending 18 December

Stage 2 - Division 2

Marist Blue

Marist Blue, 3/111 defeated WCMCC Sixers 8/110

With the sun searing down on Phillip Oval, the boys were eager to exact revenge against a highly capable Weston Creek team that had narrowly won their last encounter. Sent in to field first, the opening spell from Hunter and Archie was tight and miserly, giving the opposition little room to score. The following spell from Ernest and Billy yielded the first wicket of the game while continuing to keep the run rate in check. With a few extra drinks breaks due to the heat, the boys showed great determination both in the field and with the ball, eventually bowling Weston Creek out for 110. Ernest and Shamir finished with two wickets each, while a highlight of the innings was a brilliant run-out involving Harvey. Despite the relatively low target, the boys displayed great maturity with the bat, steadily keeping the run rate ticking over without losing wickets. Will O’Brien, Charlie, and Hunter all started strongly, establishing an excellent platform. Archie, who batted tirelessly in the heat, showed exceptional grit and supported several teammates at the crease. His final partnership with Lachie Edwards saw the team chase down the target in the 23rd over, capping off one of their best wins of the season.
