Ajay Mishra for Lockwood Ward

Last weekend saw the final matches for our 2nd, 3rd, & 4th XI's for season 25/26. Sadly no finals to look forward to but there were certainly some bright moments along the way. The 2nd XI were able to knock off two of the finalists and witnessed a brilliant maiden century from Lachie Nicholson in Round 4. The 3rd XI had their highest number of wins for quite a few seasons and were able to chase their opponents total 9 wickets down on two separate occasions. And the 4's had a heap of fun in their return to the competition. The club owes the boys a big thank you as we were represented in the 4th XI again for the first time in a number of years. The team enjoyed a well-earned victory in the penultimate round of the season to ensure the wooden spoon was avoided.

Tomorrow see's the 1st XI finish their season as they chase another 107 runs for victory with 8 wickets in hand. Make sure you get down to Lead Advisory Oval from 1pm to support the boys and maybe have a bev or two to farewell another season of cricket.
