Black Ranges Year 8 Cricket

Our Year 8 boys have enjoyed a fantastic day of cricket, securing their place in the Greater Western Region (GWR) round after an impressive series of performances.

Horsham College started the day strongly, recording convincing wins against Wimmera Lutheran, Murtoa and Ararat to progress to the all-important final against Marion, the winners of Pool B.

Batting first, our boys put together a competitive total of 48 runs from their eight overs, with Milton Ellis shining with the bat and helping set a challenging target for Marion.

With the pressure on, Judd Oakley and Zav Lang delivered a superb opening spell with the ball, reducing Marion to 3/0 after just two overs. From there, the Horsham boys continued to apply pressure, taking wickets consistently and restricting Marion to secure a well-deserved victory.

It was an outstanding team effort, with the boys demonstrating great skill, teamwork and determination throughout the day. Congratulations to the team on a fantastic result, and we look forward to seeing them represent Horsham College at the GWR round!

Greater Western Year 8 Cricket

Our Year 8 cricketers were up bright and early yesterday, departing at 6am for Ballarat to take on teams from across the state in the GWR cricket competition!

The weather was certainly more suited to a day of footy than cricket, with freezing conditions greeting the boys in Ballarat!

The team got off to a fantastic start, securing a strong win in their opening game and setting the tone for the day.

Game two proved a tougher challenge, with some excellent batting from Ballarat setting a huge target that was just out of reach for our boys.

The final game against Colac provided a great opportunity to get everyone involved, with all players getting a good run. The boys fought hard but unfortunately went down narrowly.

Well done to all our Year 8 cricketers for their efforts, attitude and sportsmanship throughout the day. A big effort to get up so early, brave the freezing conditions and represent the school with pride!
