Stage 1 Friday - Ungraded
Marist Scorchers
Marist Scorchers 116 defeated CGS Thunder 79
The Scorchers were sent into bowl first after losing the toss. The team was ready for a great match after not being able to play last week due to the weather. The Scorchers fielded extremely well, keeping the opposition to minimal runs throughout the innings. Wickets fell with Jared, William, and Ollie all contributing to the scorecard. We also saw some great catches and runouts from our wicket-keepers, Hugh and Jonathan.
The next innings saw the Scorchers head into bat. Knowing that Grammar's score was reachable we still needed to hold our wicket and work hard for the runs. The Scorchers batted extremely well. The whole team added to the total with some solid scores. Jonathan posting the highest score of 22 (15) with 3, 4's and a 6. The Scorchers have shown they have learnt to communicate with their partner out at the crease, calling for runs or no runs. Their running between the wickets has become quick which is helping their run rate each game.
Finally, the Scorchers had a chance to celebrate, with their first win of the season. They have waited so long, showing endless perseverance but this time could walk away with beaming smiles across their face. Well done, Scorchers. You certainly deserved this win!
