 "BETWEEN THE WICKETS"
GORDON Under 10 GOLD NEWSLETTER Volume 14 24/2/09
Round 15 Gordon Gold 7/81 v Roseville Gilies 8/79
By virtue of their fantastic performance on Saturday the Golds have secured a spot in the Championship Semi Final series – what a great effort! The team will finish third which is a super achievement and is a just reward for the effort put in by all players throughout the year.
Roseville were up for a battle and decided to bat – skipper James T marshalled the troops and it was on. Catches win matches and it was Harry W who pouched the first one at cover. Not to be outdone Charlie W held onto two excellent outfield catches, both of which he made look easy. With this type of pressure runs were hard to come by and wickets to Hamish and Cameron meant we were on top. Mitch then ripped out both of their star batsmen with a fine display of swing bowling. Henry maintained an immaculate line to capture 3 in quick succession. With the ground fielding “on song” and all three of our keepers Henry, Jo and Gen giving a fine display Roseville were restricted to 79 off their 24 overs.
Eighty runs stood between the Golds and a much deserved semi final spot – could we do it? The large crowd were oddly subdued when our openers made their way to the wicket as they realised what was at stake. Harry (22) responded with a sintillating display of shot making taking the attack up to the bowlers before he was well caught on the boundary. Gen and Henry(7 retired) ticked things along keeping us in front of the run rate. Alex (12) was aggressive playing on both sides of the wicket.When he was bowled we were in a strong position. Hamish (7) played the innings of the day looking to run at every opportunity.Jonas (12 retired) scored at a fast clip playing with a straight bat and pushed us towards our target. Charlie (1) and Mitch were a little unlucky as was captain James run out on a great throw from the deep as he looked for the second run for the team.It was left to Callum (1Not out) and Jae (0 not out) to see us home and this they did in style sending us to victory with 6 overs to spare!
 A very good result as Roseville are a good team who play the game in a great spirit – so everyone should be congratulated.
Thank you to umpire James Casey who did a great job.
