Willow Talk #16 - Week Ending 9 March

Stage 1 - Division 2

Marist Navy

Marist Navy, 177, defeated Wests Warriors, 166 - semifinal

Batting: Conor Casey 36 off 17; Henry Todd 24 off 17; Ben Van de Meeberg 24 off 17; Daniel Duffy 22 off 18

Bowling: James Connor 3/3; Tyler wheeler 2/10; Daniel Duffy 2/11

special mentions: Henry 3 run outs, Tyler and Conor 1 run out each and a lovely catch from Charles.

Wests won the toss and sent Navy in to bat. After a shaky first 10 overs, where the batting score was 51 compared to the wickets taken (11) score of 44, the boys found their form - with four boys all making over 20 runs! The boys kept fighting putting on a total of 129, but lost 14 wickets in total (56 runs).

The boys were confident going into the fielding innings, but we're still nervous as one of their best bowlers is out injured. With some amazing bowling and fielding, the boys kept the pressure on Wests, nearly equalling the wicket haul of Wests with 13 wickets!

It was, as coach Liam declared, a win for the ages. It was the first time they had beat Wests Warriors (who had taken the precious two matches) and what a time to do it! Marist Navy are now finals bound. What a great game and good luck next week.
