Willow Talk #4 - week ending 9th November

Stage 1 Friday

Marist Strikers

Queanbeyan Sky Stage 1 108 defeated Marist Strikers 82

Stage 1 Strikers Show Spirit in a Nail-Biter!

Another spirited and improved performance from the Stage 1 Strikers, who continue to refine their fundamentals as that first win draws ever closer. The boys faced a well-balanced Queanbeyan side who narrowly snatched victory in a closely contested match.

Match Highlights:

  • Two wickets for James P! His bowling was much improved and full of energy.
  • Anh’s wicket came from a looping medium full toss — a true crowd-pleaser and a reminder of his natural flair.
  • Doug starred again with both bat and ball, claiming a wicket and finishing as top scorer. He’s fast earning comparisons to Jacques Kallis for his all-round consistency!
  • Excellent fielding all round — the Strikers’ defensive setups stopped several certain boundaries and kept the pressure on throughout.
  • James R’s run-out was a highlight of determination and awareness — another example of his all-round contribution.
  • Strong batting displays from Doug, James P, James G, and Jack, with Alfie and James Rshowing smart running between the wickets to keep the scoreboard ticking.

A great team effort full of promise — the first win is just around the corner!
