Marist Blue was keen to dust off the cobwebs of the summer school holidays and get back on the pitch and play cricket! Ginninderra won the toss and elected to bowl sending Marist Blue into bat.
Opening batters Will and Archie formed a good partnership and went to work making quick singles with Archie also finding the boundary on six occassions. Ginninderra ended this partnership with some good bowling, scoring their first wicket. This saw Hunter join Archie at the crease and again these two worked well together continuing to add runs to the scoreboard. Archie retired and this bought in fill in player Issac who battered really well and both he and Hunter retired after facing their 30 balls. Following the retirement of these two players, Ginninderra started to break through Marist Blue's middle order claiming seven wickets in the last ten overs. Marist Blue's finished with their 30th overs with 129 runs.
Harvey and Captain Ernst opened the Blue's bowling with great pace. The first wicket came in the fourth over with Ernst clean bowling the batter. Ernst not quite finished yet claimed the second wicket with another clean bowl.
The boys kept their fielding nice and tight and extras to a bare minimum. Shahmir and Issac both took two wickets each with Noah taking two great catches in the field along with Hunter also taking a catch. Lachlan as awalys was a great wicket keeper. Marist Blue won the game in the 18th over with the bowling of fill in player Issac.
Well done boys on a great win.
