Today we played at Burton Field at Werrington. We let Emu Plains bat first as they only had 5 players when it was time to start. Our boys all bowled well with a lot less no-balls this week. Keep up the good work. We had them 0 for 46 runs. Our first partnership of Thomas and Jayden saw us 1 for 9, a bit unlucky with a runout. Then Jake and Joshua took us to a total of 1 for 17. Then came Marcus and Kurt with some quick runs and a score of 1 for 30. Westill needed 17 runs and could not lose another wicket . Our last pair Keegan and Blake took us to 1 for 39 off two overs and with 2 overs to go it became a very exiting game Next over we were 1 for 47 and had won the game but we could not lose another wicket. In the end we were 1 for 51 and had won a hard game. Well done to all of the boys
