The fact that all present at the Xavier Dome witnessed a magnificent game of cricket that went down to the wire is little consolation for the club at the moment.
A fantastic ton (second in two GFs) by Luke Restall was not enough to get us over the line as we fell short by a heartbreaking 8 runs to the determined Wodonga C.C. – congratulations to Robbie Jackson and his boys.
Oh, the humility!!!!
The victorious Thirds pose for a photo on the sacred nylon that is Xavier 2.
Skipper Mark Awburn lead his team to a magnificent victory over a gallant Wodonga. Excellent work by Matty Crawshaw (75*) and Pup Hensell (55) set up a total of 193
Then the bottom feeding vicious piranha skillful “Trout” Salmon used his piscatorial wiles to rip through the Doggies with 3/34, ably assisted by Peter Flood with a damning 2/8.
For Michael “Buddha” Brennan it was his first GF win in 9 trys (he compiled a huge 1 in his innings. Run that is).
Well done boys!!!!
Day 2 continues…
The A grade boys are chasing 267 While the C grade are defending 193.
