Welcome

Interesting fact: Having previously astounded the whole continent by walking South to North across Australia in 1920, Aidan De Brune used that walk as a mere warm up for his real objective. In 1921 he set off from Sydney to walk the entire perimeter of the continent. Two and a half years and ten thousand miles later, he arrived back in Sydney from the opposite direction that he had embarked.

The great antipodean adventure is over for Sam and Zach, whose sides failed to manage a top four finish that would have secured a spot in the end of season Grand Finals. Both lads fly home at the end of the month after, no doubt, sampling a little more neck oil before completing their escapade.

Zach's league season ended with a dull thud and a 5th out of eight placed finish with a narrow 214 run defeat following their 74 all out in 43 overs that must have put the spectators into a deep sleep. Zach hit one of only four fours in the entire innings, but that was all she wrote as his season ended in nine balls as Tooradin's 288 disappeared over the horizon.

Churchill's win left them in fourth place and a Grand Final Semi-Final spot against the 1st placed club, after a six wicket win at Morwell. Jordy opened the batting in pursuit of a 114 total in which Jordy didn't bowl but Ryan took 2-16 from ten overs. Jordy's 29 provided the platform for the win after batsmen 2 and 3 failed, allowing Ryan's 42 to finish the job.

Sam's 20 with the bat proved crucial in a low scoring game at Chisholm CC. Having posted just 97, Northern Suburbs bowled out the hosts for 87 to secure an unlikely ten run win. Sam wasn't called upon to bowl but compensated by completing three catches in the final game of the season which left his side in a disappointing fifth place after challenging at the top for most of the season.

In New Zealand, Caleb's three ball duck contributed to his side facing an uphill task on day two of their two day game after closing on 186-5 in pursuit of Elmwood's 305-8 in 60 overs. Fin did not make an appearance this week for reasons unknown.

Scorecards:

Zach – Here

Sam – Here

Jordy & Ryan – Here

Caleb – Here
