That’s Gold
Today was our first initiation day of playing the 2008 season of cricket as the new 5th Team. Given that the opposition forfeited round 1, we always knew we might be a bit rusty. Downtown Pelican was the venue after we kindly allowed the Greens the opportunity to play at Holmesville on a belter I believe. (Sea breeze at Pelican was great) We won the toss and tried our hand at batting. A few of us got starts but proceeded to throw our wickets away (putting no value on them) Nic Babic looked classy for 36, G Schrader got a sighter 4 first ball (17) followed by one of the clubs new recruits Rowan Carpenter (16) totalling 128 all out. Wallsend RSL responded with some lusty hitting, 5 down to get the runs. Resistance came from G Schrader 2 for 29, C Bonner 1 for 8 and new boys Rowan Carpenter 1 for 7 and Daniel Franey 1 for 5.
To see the faces of both Daniel and Rowan to get their first wickets in senior cricket – priceless, the smile told it all.
C Bonner
Captain.
