Batting: Jamie Kimpton (21), Xander Heffernan (19)

Bowling: Max Dawn (2/8), Will Salter (2/10)

It was a lovely evening in Kambah for the final round of the season and the Renegades gave this last game everything with some stand-out performance across the board. The Scorchers won the toss and sent our Renegades in to bat. A little note regarding their stats the morning of the game about how close every player sat to achieving a notable milestone proved to be excellent motivation. Jamie needed 3 runs to reach 100 runs for the season…. not only did he get them, he top scored for the team with his highest score ever of 21 runs, smashing out 3 fours along the way. Xander was chasing 4 runs for his 100 which he did easily and was our next highest run scorer on 19. Joey was also on fire with the bat knocking out 15 which took his season run total to 102, and Will’s 16 got him over the line for his goal of 200 runs for the season! Absolutely amazing work boys!

With the change of innings came no sign of any change in intensity- the Renegades were ruthless! Max took 2 wickets and a run out, Will took 2 wickets and an impressive catch, and Levi and Aakesh took an excellent wicket each. Xander and Joey were unforgiving in the field with 3 run outs between them and George was everywhere in the field saving many runs with his tireless hard work. We missed Oscar and Ari in our final game and pizza celebration.

This was a fantastic team to be part of. Huge thank you to all the families who supported the team in so many ways. We were so lucky to always have people willing and able to help at trainings and games. Finally, a massive thank you to Pete and Rich for coaching the boys and guiding their development as young cricketers throughout the season. I think these grins say it all!
