St. Patrick's Cricket Club Inc. Albury

Facta non Verba ~ Deeds not Words

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.
