Round 2:

KWS 1st XI 144 (W Luelf 28, A Brien 24) lost to CYMS 9/158 (H Kermode 3/23, S Ridley 2/24, H McIntyre 2/26)

After starting the season with a bye, the team started the season off very positively. Some tight fielding and bowling kept CYMS to a total of 9/158 off their 50 overs. Wickets were shared between Kermode, Taylor, Ridley, Luelf and McIntyre with some strong keeping from Phoebe Litchfield behind the stumps as well. KWS started the chase well with Andrew Litchfield and Will Luelf opening with a 45 run partnership before a sharp catch dismissed Luelf for 28. A batting collapse saw KWS at 9/128 after 36 overs with some poor application resulting in silly dismissals. Kermode and Taylor tried hard to grab the win for the last partnership but ended up short by 14 runs. A sound start for the first game of the season, which will only see the two blues get stronger. Next game is at KWS Main Oval vs Orange City (defending premiers) in a two-day game.

Round 1:

KWS 2nd XI 5/150 (P Litchfield 82no) defeated Waratahs 149 (E Taylor 3/14, T Madigan 2/16, J Rasmussen 2/26, H May 2/28)

Round 2 :

KWS 2nd XI 4/226 (T Madigan 59, W Prowse 59, N Rasmussen 43no, T Kiss 31) defeated CYMS 167 (R Wilson 3/28)

The 2nd XI have started the season in perfect fashion over the holidays under new player-coach Mr Walter Prowse. Both 40-over games saw KWS strangle their opponents with tight bowling and disciplined batting. The next fixture is a two-day battle against Orange City at Jack Brabham which will be a good test for the side.
