The Under 13's bowled against Modbury on day 1 of their final two day match of the season, before the grand final. Wickets fell at regular intervals but the tail wagged and Modbury posted a competitive total of 9/146. Their batsmen showed great discipline.
On day 2 of the match our boys showed real commitment against some excellent bowling and fielding from Modbury. Solid contributions from Mohammed-44, Cam-26, Scott-24, Jordan-22 and Joshua A.-21 not out, saw the boys score 8 for 193. Bradley and Ben batted very well too.
All of this season's games have been played in great spirit by the boys from all teams. Unfortunately the same can't be said for one or two coaches/umpires.
The boys are looking forward to the grand final against Golden Grove on Sunday 9th and 16th.
With our first footy trial games just 4 weeks away we still have vacancies for boys turning 12 and 15 in 2008. The Under 13's, 14's and 16's will take new players only if experienced and fit! The Under 6's to Under 11's always welcome new boys and girls turning 5 to 11 in 2008.

Cricket update - February 17
The Under 13 game against Gaza was abandoned due to soaring temperatures. But 4 Gaza boys and some of our Under 15's plus some mums and dads joined our Under 13's in a 20-20 game. The temperature was reasonable in the morning. Everyone had a great time and we thank the Gaza boys for taking part, they were fantastic. Yours truly was run out for a duck but took a wicket, although I felt a little guilty bowling a 10 year old!
After a disasterous match against Golden Grove a few weeks ago, the Under 15's bounced back with a comfortable win in their final match of the season. Lee's first 50 was a highlight.

Cricket Update Feb 08
The Under 13's took on Eastern Suburbs at Tregenza Oval over two Sundays, the 3rd & 10th of February.
Excellent bowling and fielding from Easts restricted us to 158 from our 50 overs. Having quite a few boys unavailable for the first day didn't help our cause. Jacob's first 50 and Mohammed's 42 were the highlights.
We had to restict the home team to less than 158 to ensure a place in the grand final.
A wicket from the first ball of the innings, one of four to Joshy P, and solid contributions from the other boys restricted Easts to 113, all out.
It will be great credit to such a young team to make the grand final, probably against Golden Grove.
The Under 15's struggled in the field against Ingle Farm and the hosts scored an impressive total. Gepps fell plenty of runs short in the run chase, with most of the score coming from the middle and tail.
