Marist Navy were back in action for Round 2 against Eddies Gold, finishing on 8/120 against Eddies’ 7/187. While the opposition set a challenging target, the boys produced some brilliant individual moments and plenty of reasons to celebrate!

💥 The fielding highlight of the day? William’s one-handed, direct-hit run-out — already being called the run-out of the year! Ronnie also pulled off a great run-out, while William impressed behind the stumps. With the ball, Neil delivered the most economical spell of the day, conceding just 4 runs off 2 overs. Jamie, Liam, Vivaan, Kiaan and William all picked up a wicket each, with Kiaan firing in a cracking yorker!

🏏 With the bat, Kiaan top-scored with 14 runs, while captain Oliver made a steady 12 before retiring not out. Vivaan finished unbeaten on 10, and Neil kept the scoreboard moving with a quickfire 8 off just 8 balls.

🏆 PLAYER OF THE MATCH: JONATHAN! A massive 47-metre SIX stole the show! Even with a shoulder injury, Jonathan continued to put in the effort in the field — a fantastic display of determination.

There were plenty of positives to take away, from Lachlan’s impressive spin to Liam’s clever shot selection. The boys kept working hard, supporting each other and finding opportunities to shine.

Keep bringing the energy, Navy! The season is young, the highlights are coming, and this team is building momentum one game at a time! 💙🏏
