Boys Years 7/8 cricket 2023

On Monday the 23^rd of October Mr Bell and Mr George took 14 students (including three Year Eleven students) out to Eastern Park Gardens to take part in the inter school cricket competition. We were all super hyped and excited to compete. We all had a great day out. Here are the game recaps...

Game 1: Geelong High School versus Newcomb Secondary College.

Newcomb Secondary College started the game batting. It was a nice starting partnership with Rueben Brady staying in for a while and Harry Wells starting off well to. Geelong High School had an answer for everything: they were catching well and bowling well too! By the end we had lost all our wickets and had to try and force a comeback. We had a lot of good bowling in the next hour with many fantastic catches by our wicket keeper Hamish Andrews and Jayden Morcos and some brilliant bowling by Harley Terril. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to get the win but all of us had a smile on our face and we were in a joyful mood.

Game 2: Bannockburn V.S Newcomb Secondary College.

Everyone wanted to finish the day on a win, so everyone was determined to make it happen. Newcomb Secondary College started off by bowling with a few early wickets from Yasir Saeed and Harry Wells and we had some good fielding from Jack McCallum leading to two good wickets. Going into the second hour we were feeling fired up. Lachlan Neoh and Harry Wells opened the batting (both retiring later in the game) and there were more strong batting performances from Rueben Brady and the other team members. All the hard work resulted in a win - it was a great day out thanks to Mr Bell, Mr George, Max, Jack Brough and Levi for making the day happen and run smoothly.
