Stage 1 Friday - Ungraded
Marist Strikers
Marist Strikers 134/Eastlake Galahs 152
Early wickets by Doug, Lewis and Lachie set the scene for an entertaining afternoon of cricket. Eastlake were impressive in batting offering Marist some fielding highlights, two wickets bowled and run out, two balls in a row by Lachie!
Ahn’s speed in the outfield was impressive and his one arm push ups deserve special mention!
Following the mid innings break, wickets to Lewis and Lachie put a slight dampener on the Eastlake run tally.
Austin and Xander opened our batting and they faced some very solid bowling. Lewis and Evan’s partnership brought some exciting bombastic boundaries. Lachie delivered a memorable ramp shot and Ahn’s speedy runs were again a highlight!
Doug and Matthew kept the energy at the crease high until the end, with some big hits and some loud and clear calls to run!
Coach Nate gave the team ‘sneaky singles’ as the focus for beefing up the runs and the boys did a great job delivering them!
