What a special weekend for the u15s with a win in u15n1 grand final! Another man of the match performance from Micky Ramaswamy with 59 off 76 on a very tough batting pitch combined with some excellent cameos from Mehtab, Krishil and Riley helped the team manage 222 batting first. Some good batting early from the Lakes players put the Tigers under pressure, but staying calm, patient and believing the breakthroughs would come, the team managed to bowl Lakes out for 161. The pressure was relentless as all bowlers bowled well but Heath Mayor 2-20 off 11, Aarav Patel 3/7 off 7 and Sara Lalwani 2-16 off 7 were the pick of the bowlers.
The season has been a journey, but whether the cricket played was good or bad the team enjoyed the special environment they all created. The team thrived with their fitness in multiple long batting innings or long days in the field with the team completing plenty of fitness tasks like Mt Cootha runs, Murphs, stair climbs and broncos in training.
Unfortunately the u13’s went down in a close one against an impressive Lakes side. The Tigers fought hard and got off to good starts with both the bat and ball but unfortunately fielding mistakes let the side down proving once again how important fielding is. The team will take plenty of lessons out of the season and will enter the summer season well prepared and hungry to dominate. Player of the match was Aaron Jaishi with 54 and a wicket.
I am very proud of both teams and extremely thankful to all the parents for their support throughout the season.
A big thank you also goes to Brisbane Surgical Supplies for supporting the teams.
