Round 1

St James vs Woodleigh

Woodleigh 7/149

We opened up with myself and Braeden bowling  Braeden bowled very tight and full lines and was very unlucky not to get a wicket.

Woodleigh's opening batsman got off to a great start, going at 7 an over so we had to do something different. Jack came on to bowl his crafty off spin and he turned the game around picking up 2 wickets in 2 balls. After Jack's masterclass was over Lachlan came on to bowl and he bowled really wel. Lachlan and Jack got the run rate down to less then 5. After that great spell, Joel and Harrison bowled good lines and kept the runs down. During that time we managed to pick up a wicket with a terrific run out

from Harrison. Luke bowled a great spell picking up 1/3 off his 2 overs. Bryce and Nathan bowled well like the previous bowlers. Last couple of overs Joel, Jack, Lachlan, and my self bowled one more over each and we made the most of it, picking up 3 wickets. First bowler Jack and he bowled very well good lines and didn't get hit for many. During the second last over Lachlan picked up 2 wickets including a classic catch from myself. Then I finished off the innings, picking up a wicket maiden. A massive effort was from Cameron who was outstanding behind the stumps. We are chasing 150 to win. Let's hope round 1 will be a success like it was today.

Lachlan  2/29

Round 1

St James College  22  defeated St Francis Xavier College  7 

A fantastic start to the season! St James College travelled to St Francis Xavier College, Beaconsfield, for the Round 1 clash of the titans. In the past, St Francis Xavier has assembled very strong handball teams, however, on this occasion, they were no match for the visiting Jimmy’s Boys. From the first whistle, St James were ruthless with their defending, pushing their opponents back and forcing them to shoot from deep positions and making them panic. In attack, St James were tough, physical and confident with charging through small gaps to shoot. It was encouraging to see St James players laying blocks for their teammates, which creates space for strong shots on goal.
