Narandera High School
Congratulations to Our Open Boys Cricket Side
The Open Boys Cricket Team competed in the South West Riverina Gala Day, playing 2 T20 matches.
Their first match against Leeton HS the boys defended 160, restricting Leeton to 83 from their 20 overs. Archer Quinn (67*) and Jed Scott (32) starred with the bat, whilst it was the Myles Scott show with the ball, taking 3/2 from his 2 overs.
The final against Yanco Ag was hard fought, and momentum ebbed and flowed throughout the day. Yanco got off to a flyer with the bat and despite Narrandera squandering a number of chances in the field, a consistent bowling effort across the board restricted their innings to 112.
In reply, NHS were in early trouble, losing 2 wickets in the first over before Archer (34) and Nick Perram (36) steadied the innings. Yanco would have one late charge left, taking 2 wickets in the 12th over to but some nerves through the Narrandera Camp. However, Jed Scott (13*) and Pete Skarlis (3*) kept their cool and saw the boys home to the 113 victory target, attaining a convincing 5 wicket win with 6 overs to spare.
Congratulations to the team, who now move onto the next round of the Davidson Shield next Monday.
