Year 7 Cricket

BLACK RANGES CRICKET |

Congratulations to our Year 7 cricket team, who won both of their games at the Black Ranges competition and will progress through to the Great Western Region level, being held in Ballarat on the 24th October. Our mixed team of students narrowly defeated Horsham College and Marian College, holding their nerve and fielding strongly in both second innings to take out the wins. Our bowling was exceptionally tight, with a number of wickets being taken by Holly, Jobe, Jake, Jesbel and Rory. Our batting stars of the day were Jake and Jobe. Jake hit a six and a number of fours, placing him as our highest run scorer.

We wish the students all the best at the next competition in Ballarat!
