U12 Blue- Round 10 vs North Sydney Gold

Blue Bats Fall Just Short 

Opening the bowling was Oscar Burgess-Tate who came up with 0 for 3 from two overs. He opened the bowling with Harry Duczmal who was 0 for 10 from two overs. 

The Blues didn’t get a wicket for a while until Joseph Siokos (Joey) picked up a wicket that was caught behind by Matthew Garrett. 

Some of the standout bowlers were Joey with 2 for 31 from three overs and Jordan Hunt with 4 for 20 from four overs bowling his outstanding spin. 

Although the bowling was pretty good the fielding was not that good with North Sydney Gold making 184 runs. 

Then the Blues went in to bat. Kieran and Alistar Siokos were the openers. Kieran did a great job getting 33 runs off some hard bowlers but unfortunately Ali got out LBW for a golden duck. 

Then Oliver Cameron came into the attack only facing four balls and getting five runs including a four through slip and gully. He then unfortunately got out because he was bowled a good ball and hit it to point who took a magnificent catch diving to his right side. 

Then the amazing Dougie Oxenham came in to bat and got a glorious 41 runs not out. After him Joey came in and unfortunately got out for one. Then Andrew Earlam came into the attack and started smashing it. His innings of 36 included a six. Then the rest of the order collapsed as Sam Holmes went for a duck, Will Collins went for one, Harry got two and then got run out, Matt went for one and Jordan went for five. 

In the end Gordon were all out for 151 and did not do enough to win.
