Marist Light made it two wins from two to start the season, with another excellent team performance against Ginninderra Bengal Tigers at Weetangera Oval on Saturday morning.
After being sent in to bat, the boys put together a strong innings, with Harry Woodford and Aaryan Bajwa leading the way. Both scored an impressive 16 runs from their 15 deliveries, helping Marist establish a healthy total.
The boys then backed up their batting with a terrific performance in the field. Harvey Grieve was outstanding with the ball, conceding just six runs from his three overs, including a maiden. Louis Sasse was equally impressive, giving away only seven runs from three overs, while Harry Woodford kept things tight with just five runs conceded from his two overs.
A special mention must go to Louis, who was playing his first-ever game of cricket! An excellent bowling performance and a winning start to his cricket career made it a memorable debut.
The bowling was complemented by some fantastic fielding, with the boys combining for an incredible five run-outs. It was a great example of teamwork and awareness in the field, with everyone contributing to keeping the pressure on Ginninderra.
The combination of disciplined bowling and sharp fielding ensured Marist's total remained comfortably out of reach, securing an impressive 134 to 84 victory.
Two matches, two wins, and plenty of encouraging signs from the boys as they continue to develop their skills and confidence. Well done Light!
