It was a great game played on the grass wicket. Thanks to Simon and Hayden for preparing it for us. We were 7 runs short but had wickets in hand.

The Firebirds declared after 10 overs with a combined total and target of 113 for the Volts to achieve in the last hour of play.

The Firebirds' good form continues with some great catches; but the fielding was a bit mediocre guys! Improvement will be essential in our next 2 day vs the Stags.

Highlights were Nathan Brown 78 retired; Harry Plummer 36; David Gibson 32 not out; Daniel Bayly 17; Tyler Forrest 13.

Most of the innings was played in hot & sunny conditions however the weather deteriorated in the last 3 overs with it culminating in a thunder storm which left the coaches the decision not to start the Volts' first innings. The Firebirds & their supporters however were not going to miss out on their bbq sausages and were left celebrating under the gazebo in the torrential rain beside a stormwater drain with Rosa Birch starting to look more and more like a lake. There was a lot of water coming out of that drain by the time the team decided to head home and dry out! Well done team it was a great first innings effort from everyone.

A good win to the Wizards, a team we always enjoy playing. Congratulations to Rodger and his team (and supporters).

Saturday 21.11.09

Yrs 7&8 Division 1 - Firebirds 161/3 vs Wizards 158/2

Another close game and good win for the Firebirds. In typical Bruce Pulman Park blustery and cool conditions the Wizards batted first and made a good score of 158/2. However the Firebirds knew quite well they could make a great score as well after last week's game and finished today's game on the first ball of the 29th over with a 4. Both teams struggled in the field with missed catches and missed runouts. The teams were well matched which was great for the spectators but a bit nerve racking for the coaches! Outstanding performances: Nathan Brown 78* and 0-8 (4 overs); Harry Plummer 38 and 1-5 (4 overs) including a wicket maiden in his first over; David Gibson 1-12 (2 overs). Well done to the team!

Saturday 14.11.09

Yrs 7&8 Division 1 - Firebirds 158/3 vs Stags 99/8
