FINAL REPORT :

      So on to the big one! We returned to the scene of our last round escape act. It wouldn’t be fifth grade without a few dramas! Jono somehow forgot what time we were playing and Clifty made an emergency dash from work to get him to the ground, five minutes before we walked out!  Greg pulled up with a "dodgy back". Finally, we settled on the line-up and we went into the big one unchanged. This game followed a similar path to the past few weeks with the ball dominating the bat with some great early spells from Sandeep, Adrian, Tabby and Greg. The skipper and Mayank then cashed in late in the innings to keep the River boys to 120.

      As always happens in Grand Finals, the match still had a few twists to go. At 3 for 9 we were looking down the barrel. Dilan then joined Jono and steadied the ship. Paul Lamble was then dropped first ball. Not quite a Steve Waugh moment but it was close! Next time ask which way the ball is moving! A quick cameo from Sandeep saw us get close and Jono nearly carried his bat, not bad after nearly not turning up! The skip and Tabby then saw us home in a very tight but enjoyable final!

Aidrian Widders steaming in. He took 1/23 in the final.

The opening salvos are fired.
