Stage 1 Div 2
Marist Navy
Marist Navy (178) defeated GJCC - Tasmanian Tigers (126)
Batting: William Blunt 30 (17) and Sebastian Honan 22 (17)
Bowling: Xander Woods 0/2 (2) and Sebastian Honan 1/9 (3)
Marist Navy batted first, with William and Remy opening the batting. Two fours were hit off the first two balls. This opened up a wonderful innings, with the boys having a great time with the bat. 17 fours and 1 six were hit, which made running between the wickets a little easier. However, when they did have to run, communication between the teammates was an improvement from previous games. The boys did a wonderful job.
Marist Navy went into bowl and showed some great skill in the field. Their bowling was on target, and their backing up in the field allowed them to slow down the opposition's run score. Several wickets were taken, with special mention to Remy Martin for taking his first wicket this season in Div 2. The boys fielded well with several run outs, working together to increase their total.
A special mention goes to Jasper Dixon for stepping up very last minute to help out the Navy team. His performance certainly did not go unnoticed. His turn with the bat added a brilliant knock of 21 to the team total, and a wicket in the field.
Well done, Navy, on a great result! Let's keep it going.
