The Play in the Day brought to you by van der Meer Consulting . This round saw familiar faces returning to First Grade and young players making their mark in Metro!
FIRST GRADE
A tough opening result, going down by one wicket after being sent in and posting 204. Lachy Molyneux and Sonny returned to the First Grade side, flying in from interstate to pull on the WCC colours once again, a great reflection of the connection our past players continue to share with the club and the WCC family. Moffat led the batting with 50, while Sonny (49*) and Ferguson (29). Molyneux figures 3-20.
SECOND GRADE
Jimmy Downs carried his bat for an unbeaten 58 as 2’s finished on 121 on a challenging wicket. A tough result, with the side ultimately falling short, losing by 5 wickets.
THIRD GRADE
3’s battled hard but went down by 72 runs. Stokie led the way with 42, before backing it up with 4/32, while Chick contributed 29 with the bat.
FOURTH GRADE
A finish that had plenty riding on it, with 4’s getting home by just two runs. Pike (41), Watts (33) and Schneidereit (26*) made valuable contributions with the bat, while Last’s 4/27 and Watts’ 2/21 helped secure a close fought win as they took the last 5 wickets for just 13 runs to win.
METRO
Our Metro side continued to showcase the strength of the club’s development pathways. Ekam Dhillion contributed 32 with the bat, while George Hansen delivered a standout performance with 5/21. Both are great examples of the talent coming through WCC and the opportunities our pathways provide for young players to develop and represent the club. Metro went down by 32 runs.
Fifth Grade, Chappelow and Classics were all washed out due to the rain.
Plenty to take into Round 2, with North West up next.
