Valentine Under 15 2s V Dora Creek.
Thursday we moved training onto the oval ( out of the nets) for a session and Russell felt the change would have a positive impact on the way we played.
The team was ready for the challenge not only of playing Dora Creek but travelling to Martinsville. We arrived at the most picturesque little village oval with bell birds and drizzling rain.
The ground was damp ( so damp in fact that Barney Sheargold discovered a sock full of blood after fielding and realized he had pick up a leach, now that’s a damp pitch! We had made the decision to send them in to bat in the hope that the pitch might dry out, Dora Creek won the toss and saved us the trouble by electing to have a bat and post a score.
Some outstanding bowling in wet conditions (remember the leach) meant that Dora Creek were restricted to a total of 46 off 21 overs.
Garland 4 overs no maidens no wickets for 8
Clancy 4 overs 1 maiden 2 wickets for 7
Stocker 3 overs no maidens no wickets for 5
Rumford 3 overs 1 maiden 1 wicket for 6
Gustard 4 overs 0 maidens 2 wickets for 7
Sheargold 2 overs o maidens none for 7
Farrell 1.5 overs no maidens 3 for 3
As you can see these figures are outstanding!
The innings was over after 22 overs and it was time to set ourselves for a run chase.
