Bugger.
But first a
big thanks to Coach: Andrew (Red) Cowell and the (frighteningly) organised manager
Leon and able assistant Di Celliers who all collectively
did a great job with the team during the tournament. And to all those parents who chipped in and
helped out – many thanks. The boys
looked a happy and united team all week so what more could we want.
The
Final. It didn’t start well, we lost the
toss and so fielded. We then had the
misfortune of one of their very talented boys, who had had a
relatively poor week until the Final, batting very well for a deserved hundred
(despite being run-out on 75 :-) and that setting Eastern up
for a good score.
Our strong
and well performing batting line-up just couldn’t get going, losing wickets
regularly. One of our boys was batting
very well and looking
good for a big score and got a short ball that then keep low, hit him on the
shin. Out. Other boys who had been scoring just got out.
It was just
not our day. If we played again
tomorrow, we could just as easily win.
Many
congratulations though to Eastern Districts who had also narrowly beaten us earlier in the week were deserved winners of the tournament.
