With Monbulk Cricket Club’s U14s and U12s getting a match in on Friday night versing Johnson Park and Rowville respectively, there was some action on the local cricket scene of the weekend despite cancellations.
Coaches Brad Trinnick and Sean Arnott got the teams organised and playing some great cricket so early in the season, with both teams enjoyed good wins with some amazing individual performances.
In the U14’s Eamon Dawson took 3/5 off his 3 overs, before Will Blenkiron (18*) and Bailey Trinnick (27*) got us off to a great start before Mads Peacock smashed 52* from 34 balls in his first match for the Hawks.
The U12’s batted first with Quintin Kelly getting off to a flyer and ended up making 71 (that’s right 71) off 34 balls. All batters contributed nicely before Cooper Doyle in his debut for the Hawks made 22*.
Trav coaches Monbulk’s Fast 9s junior team and made 44* in this match and Trevor has been a super cricketer for many years, good enough to play in the Victorian over 60s team recently.
The team today also including three of our junior coaches: Trav Selby, Braden Grigg and Brad Trinnick.
Scores:
U14s – Monbulk 6/148 (M.Peacock 52*, B.Trinnick 27*, W.Blenkiron 18*) def Johnson Park 5/64 (E.Dawson 3/5, A.Sutton 1/1, J.Brooke 1/9)

Unfortunately, the rain came again Saturday morning to wash out the U16s and seniors.
