Cricket win for Empire Bay

 

Playing in atrocious conditions with blustery winds and occasional showers, Empire Bay Public School won a close game of cricket against Niagara Park.

After a score of 5/48 runs from 30 overs, Empire Bay needed to bowl the opposition out, which they did, for 40 runs from 26 overs.

Batting was difficult but James McNamara and Daniel Willis contributed well with Thomas Pope, Matt Fallen, Matt Jones and Kayne Hansett a!l adding to the score.

Bowling in the prevailing conditions needed concentration.

Lachlan O'Donnell demoralised the opposition taking four wickets conceding only three runs, while James snared 3/8 off six overs.

All bowlers worked as a team and Matt Jones, Thomas Pope, Daniel Willis and Matt Fallon restricted the scoring admirably.

Catches by Matt Kemsley, BJ Cilia and Patrick Crocker came at very crucial times while Daniel Willls took two catches as well.

Chris Bainbridge and David Provest fielded well and were an important part of a good team effort.

The next game will be played in September and will be against another Central Coast side yet to be determined.
