Senior Cricket Northern Regional Finals
The Senior Boys' Cricket Team, led by coach Chris Peake, participated in the Northern Regionals on Tuesday, 22nd February at Donath Reserve in Reservoir, following on from our victory in the preliminary round in early February.
The Northern Regionals presented us with very tough opposition in Viewbank College, Northcote HS and Coburg HS and unfortunately, we lost all three of our games. However, there were a few noteworthy performances. Captain Vihanga Fernando didn’t quite live up to expectations in the first two games but came out firing in the third game, smashing 78 runs off 19 balls against Coburg. Gurbir, from Year 10 batted well. Alex Christakos was handy with the bat, chipping in with some runs and Paula Fahina hit some remarkable sixes. Kade Muir was spectacular in the field and Ahmed lifted team spirits with his inspiring speeches. Dilhan Calimli fielded very well in the preliminary round in early February. Although we didn’t get through to the state finals, a big thanks to all the boys for their positive attitude on two days of fun cricket!
