Douglas Shield Cricket - Calrossy vs Carinya
Calrossy First XI Cricket began their Douglas Shield campaign by securing a strong win against Carinya.
Carinya won the toss and after electing to bat got away to a strong start on the flat deck. The openers capitalised on missed opportunities and despite the tight bowling made it to 80 without loss. Tom Aitken then took the ball in a man of the match performance taking 4/24 including a stunning caught and bowled that shifted the momentum toward Calrossy. Ryan Stewart returned to the attack taking two quick wickets before Georgia Davidson was injected into the attack taking a wicket off her first ball. She finished with 3/7 off three overs to clean up the tail with Jock Smith the other wicket taker.
Tom Aitken returned to the middle with opening batting partner, Henry O’Hehir, where the two cautiously saw off the Carinya opening bowlers. The two showed an array of fine shots before Tom was finally dismissed for 40. Henry continued on his way to an unbeaten 48 to win the game partnered by Harrison Hamilton (13), and Will Doyle unbeaten on 7.
Thanks Mrs Holmes for coaching the First XI.

The team consolidated until more quick wickets saw trouble brewing. In walked captain Tom Holmes who calmly set to work carving out a mature 39 that carried the team into the last 10 overs. Alex Ingall was outstanding in seeing out the innings unbeaten on 14. Calrossy batted out the overs finishing on 7/152.
Carinya’s opening pair included one of the form batsmen of the tournament who came out with ominous intent. Calrossy opening bowler Charley Pickens kept the openers at bay with razor sharp bowling including a wicket off the first ball thanks to Henry O’Hehir’s safe hands. Charles Hill at the other end was fast with few runs coming off the a bat. Tom Holmes was injected into the line up which paid dividends taking the prize scalp of the Carinya opener as he finished with figures of 2/4.

Hayden Evans took 1/21 and Alex Ingall followed up his strong batting performance with 1/18, while the best figures belonged to Charley Pickens with 3/6.
