Senior Boy’s Cricket report

On Tuesday February 7, the senior boys played the first round of cricket for 2017. In our first match we played Kambrya SC who got away to a good start and continued the momentum throughout their innings finally compiling a challenging total of 87 from the 15 overs bowled to them. Not many wickets were taken but it can be reported that Shivam Patel bowled tightly.

Damian Gamage got the batting off to a bright start with a quick 22, and this was supported by Shivam Patel who made a well compiled 33. We chased down the target with 8 balls remaining and thus went on to the next round against Berwick.

In the game against Berwick it was a different story. Damien Gamage dismissed Berwick’s best batsman in the very first over and from then on the wickets fell steadily. Ultimately, Berwick was only able to score 44 runs and were in fact dismissed in 13 overs. The fielding was outstanding and the bowlers had a great time with TJ taking 3/6 from his 3 overs, Jack Braddick 2/10 from 2.2 overs, Damien Gamage 2/7 from 3 overs and Maheesha 1/1 from 3 overs.

The batsmen made light work of the target, with Shivam Patel scoring 14n.o. and TK 20n.o. being notable contributors.

Once again the games were played in fantastic spirit and our students displayed great sportsmanship. At the time of writing we do not know who our next competitors will be but we are looking forward to the challenge.

Nineteen Nossal students attended Region Athletics in 2016. Although this team is one of our biggest so far it is quite small in comparison to many of the school in the Southern Metro Region. 

As a team Nossal finished 20th in total out of the 50 schools that qualified to be there on the day, which again is an amazing effort compared to the size of other schools competing on the day.

Congratulations to the following medal winners at Region:
