Downie Shield Cricket

Round 1 of the Downie Shield Opens Cricket Competition saw us come up against Mater Dei at Geoff Lawson Oval. Kildare batted first and scored a respectable 172 from our 45 overs. Brad McMillan (57) and Jackson Weidemann (49) played superbly and gave our bowlers something to work with.

As the day went on, the pitch seemed to become easier to bat on, and as a result our bowlers were struggling for wickets. There was some good consistent bowling from Josh Conlan (1-14, 5 overs) and Sam Smith (1-38, 9 overs) but unfortunately Mater Dei got on top and chased down our total with 5 overs to spare.

Well done to all our players and thank you to Mrs Kendall for being our scorer for the day.
