Round 3 Results and Social News 27/10/08
While unfortunately the firsts had a tough time of it this weekend, the seconds, thirds and fourths all had good wins. This leaves the firsts a couple of games back with a bit of work to do in order to climb back up. Sprouta continued his great start to the year with 85. In the seconds Dave Glover and John Salter (Snr) led the way with the bat making 97 and 80 respectively and Timmy Emmett taking 4/63 with the ball. After a couple of tougher years the seconds look like clicking this year after a couple of really good wins. The thirds had to fight off a late charge from Mount Waverley. After leaving them needing 230 or so after tea Mount Waverley went on the attack and nearly pinched the win, bowled out in the last over still requiring another 20 runs. Phil Jackson was the star with the ball taking 5/92 while with the bat Mitch Brereton showed his massive potential making a very impressive 90. The Fourths came very close to an outright win in an extremly dominant display. Bowling Mount Waverley out for 154 in the first innings we then went on to post 1/259 with Grant Redwood scoring 108 and Craig Bridle an unbeaten 77. In Mount Waverley's second innings we came so close. The days play finished with them hanging on at 8/68. In social news we are Hoping to oragnise a day at the clubrooms for cup day, (obviously depending on the avalibility of the rooms). Our idea is that it would be a family day, encouraging all players/members to bring along there wives/partners, kids, friends etc.
We are planning to have the bar open, a spit roast lunch (if that can be organised, if not a BBQ). Some raffles, race sweeps and a few other activities. Annual Sportspersons Night 25/10/08

While 4 wins would have been ideal all teams showed some fight and displayed that with some application at training and on match days we should be fighting it out for finals action and more.
