A big weekend for the Gold Coast Dolphins, starting on Saturday. 1st Grade men posted 199 with Sam Weir scoring a second consecutive half century. Zac McDermott then claimed 3 Hornets wickets, with the game poised; Ipswich 7/102.
2nd Grade men have first innings points at home; Bailey Stewart the chief destroyer with 4 wickets to help dismiss Ipswich for 141. Emmaus Benn scored 68, with GC closing the day with a lead of 27.
3rd Grade were very productive at Toombul. Luke Ward scored a brutal 113 off just 69, Lachlan Diven added an unbeaten 92* and Nathan Iffland 75 as the Dolphins made 5/356 by stumps.
4th Grade rallied to eventually dismiss the Bulls for 260 at Andrew Symonds Oval. Tavs spinners Theo Nikolich (5/81 off 23) and Cooper Brown (4/36 off 20) did the bulk of the damage.
Under 16 girls had a great win in Saturday evening’s T20 against Norths. Skipper Uditi Ratnala claimed 5/9 to help restrict the hosts to 8/48; a target Gold Coast chased in just 7 overs.
On Sunday, 1st Grade women bowled Valley out for 188, with Uditi again leading the wickets with 3/32 off 10. Rebecca Duckworth scored 54*, and Lindsay Vilas Boas 59 off 41, to pass the target in the 42nd over.
2nd Grade posted 1/135 in their T20 at Bill Pippen Oval against Sandgate, with Linda Machin carrying her bat for 74* off just 53 balls. Solid bowling restricted the Gators to 4/67 (cc); Zoe Sherriff picking up 2/14.
Our BWC Women made it a perfect weekend for our women’s program, scoring 5/245 off their 35 overs, with Paris Barnes 53 off 44 the best. In response, Mira Waugh claimed 2 wickets as Western Suburbs were held to 5/121 (cc).
The Lord’s Taverners boys travelled to Wynnum and scored 8/246 after 50 overs, with captain Oliver Lum scoring 56 off 62 in a 95-runs stand with Mac Hawkins (47 off 68). The Sea Eagles’ batting was too strong for Gold Coast, though, passing the total in the 43rd over for the loss of 3 wickets.
Finally, in the BMC boys’ match against Wynnum, the hosts were dismissed for 98 inside 37 overs, with 4 Dolphins bowlers claiming 2 wickets each. In response, Gold Coast toiled, eventually sneaking home 9/101 in the 46th over for a 1-wicket victory
