Olinda Junior Cricket Club
UNDER 10
Terrific talking, great bowling and fielding by all players kept the Eagles to a low score. Hayden Anderson again starred slamming four fours, great captaining by Jared Anderson, great keeping by Chai Schauble and terrific first game from Martha Box. Brilliant result guys on a very respectful night shown towards a lost champion of our game during the week.
Olinda 66 v Eastfield 44.
UNDER 12 (2)
Olinda’s innings continued in beautiful conditions, and with good contributions from Percy Hyett, Max Thornton, Josh Rowe and Jordan Ardley, we posted a very competitive score. The Mooroolbark boys batted very sensibly, and coupled with a lot of extras that we gave up, passed us with four overs to go. Maxy Thornton capping a great game with 2/16 off five.
Olinda 5/133 v Mooroolbark 5/149.
UNDER 12 (5)
The team took its score through to 6/198, with Aryeh Talmi slamming his way to 44 not out, Ethan Blenkiron continued on his merry way with 28 not out, Gidi Talmi also posted a very impressive 26 and Nick Heron 18 not out, our best batting for the year. In reply, we bowled St Andrew’s out for 124, taking 9/38 which was an awesome effort. Skipper Cyrus Wright took a blinder at point, Nick Heron completed fantastic all round games taking three wickets and two wickets respectively. And under-10 fill-in Hamish Fraser took 3/14 which was just an incredible effort.
UNDER 14
At 6/67 overnight, South Warrandyte looked in trouble. On day two, they batted very well and put us on the back foot. Our fielding was pretty good but our bowling (including 45 extras) was our worst performance for the year.
The Hawks had their tails up by now and bowled and fielded brilliantly. Josh Langer took his score to a brilliant 58 with some magnificent drives. Cricket can turn around in the space of 20 minutes, a good lesson for our boys to never be complacent.
Olinda 9/153 v South Warrandyte 7/184.
