Intermediate Girls Cricket

On Wednesday the 8th of March the Intermediate Girls Cricket team headed over to Norwood College to play in our annual Twenty20 match against the home team.

Norwood were sent in to bat first, with Madi Mauchline and Sahana Dana opening our bowling with two solid overs. Madi took our first wicket of the day in the third over with an impressive caught and bowled. Our fielding improved throughout the day, with some excellent displays of really putting your body behind the ball from Richa Aji. Our bowling continued to be solid, with a few wides and no balls giving away most of the runs. The wickets were shared amongst our bowlers with our next wicket coming from Eliza Bentley, followed by one from Sahana, another from Kate Hine and our last one from Nikki Anderson. Some other good bowling efforts from Kiara Dowling kept the opposition on their toes. While there were a few missed chances with dropped catches or missed run outs, we had some good catches in the field from Rhian Lumsden and Ebony Llewellyn. We rotated three wicket keepers, Charlotte Tolliday, Madi Mauchline and Eliza Bentley who all did a magnificent job, with two caught behinds and some impressive keeping behind the stumps from all three.

Jasmine Lacy and Rhian Lumsden opened the batting for us against some sharp bowling. The girls saw the first over out but unfortunately Jasmine (0) was run out while Rhian (1) was caught from a good hit. Madi Mauchline (7) hit the best boundary of the entire day with a straight drive. Mie Heinen (5), the birthday girl, was solid up one end and saw out a number of overs before being run out. Charlotte Tolliday (4) batted solidly, with some text book shots and blocks before being caught. Eliza Bentley (1) was also looking the goods until a confusing run saw her unluckily run out. Nikki Anderson (0) copped a top edge that saw her caught behind and another victim to the run outs was Ebony Llewellyn (1). The ever positive Kate Hine (0) was ready to smash some runs until she too found herself caught behind off a top edge. Sahana Dana (0) was bowled by possibly the only good ball from the eleventh over while Kiara Dowling (2) added a couple to our score.

The wonderful display of sportsmanship made me unbelievably proud as a coach. The girls never dropped their heads and were full of encouragement and team work. I look forward to coaching the girls again in the future. Well done girls, what an inspiring way to spend International Women’s Day.

Intermediate Boys Baseball  

On a beautiful sunny day, Ringwood’s Intermediate boys baseball team smashed Heathmont Secondary College to win 25 to 6 runs in a 3 innings game.

Hayden Roe showed strength with batting, Josh Joyce hit a home run and Glen Noakes took a leadership role in helping team mates who were not as strong. Will McHardy and Garrett Noe who are both year 9 students stepped up and took on roles in pitching and catching. All boys came together on the day to work well as a team, communicating clear directions for base running and fielding. There was a triple play in the 2nd innings and Ringwood got all 3 outs at one play.

Well done boys, a strong performance for your first round game.

Thanks
