How the Under 13's celebrated their Premiership!


Under 13 NEJCA Premiers

The Under 13's were disappointed that the heat prevented any play in the grand final against Golden Grove but were pleased that they won the Premiership, due to them finishing on top of the ladder. The outright win against Hope Valley early in the season gave them the extra point they needed to finish on top.
The boys were presented with Association medals during a 20-20 scratch match, after which they headed for the pool.
The boys received club premiership medals at a function this evening.
Looking forward to the 08-09 season, many of the boys will be Under 13's again. In fact many have two or three seasons left as Under 13's.
The most encouraging aspect of the season was the way the boys quickly learned the skills of the game. Our leading wicket taker, Josh P., is only 10 years old and when he, Stephen, Ollie, Jatin, Dakota and Bradley return for another season of Under 13's they should improve even more.
Jacob did an outstanding job as captain, Mohammed performed well with bat and ball. Ben and Josh A, Scott and Chris will be important players in Adelaide Turf Cricket's Under 15's next season.
Despite losing only once this season, the boys are a little disappointed that they didn't equal last season's highest score of 6/267 when they played in the Para Districts competition.
