This Saturday, Marist Royal took on Wests Falcons at Latham 104. Marist lost the toss and were sent in to bat first on a slow, wet outfield. Efrem Tijo and Jack McMahon got Marist Royal off to a solid start before a miscommunication saw Jack McMahon run out. Uvindu Weerasinghe was the next to fall which brought Ollie Guile to the crease. Ollie was off to a flyer smashing a four first ball and plenty of sixes early in his innings. Efrem Tijo retired after a great partnership with Ollie Guile but it was Jack Smedley's turn next. Smashing 3 fours early, Jack Smedley was off to another great start before falling in the next over. Next, out came Darcy Snashall who built on the total with Ollie Guile who then retired. Harrison Wright, Xavier Honan and William Loft were next in respectively. They all came out to the middle with intent to move the game forward and push the scoring along. Darcy Snashall retired so Efrem Tijo and Ollie Guile were back out there together. Efrem Tijo fell which brought Darcy Snashall back out for the last wicket with Ollie Guile. Ollie Guile quickly went to a second career fifty and a second of the season, celebrating in fine style. Marist were bowled out for 137 and Wests were off to a solid start before Harrison Wright took the first wicket to give Marist some momentum. After the first wicket Marist really accelerated with Jack McMahon on fire again and Efrem Tijo steaming in bowling heat from the other end. Wests put up a good fight but the spin wizardry from Jack McMahon and pace from Efrem Tijo was too much. This bowling was well backed up by Uvindu Weerasinghe and Xavier Honan who each contributed solidly. The Wests innings ended after a great direct hit run out from William Loft in close. A special mention to Riley Walters for coming out to the field at Latham to support the Marist Royal boys despite being injured himself.
