They batted first and scored 2/113 while we scored 4/116. We played Mildura West 2 in our second game. We made 132 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Mildura West 2 were in front during the game however with some great bowling from Bailey, Brayden and Raymond and some fantastic fielding we managed to get 3 wickets and they only made 11 runs in their last 3 overs. Mildura West s final total was 5/106. In our last game we played Sacred Heart 1. We managed to make a score of 6/78 while Sacred Heart who won the Grand Final scored 3/256. After the round robin games we finished in 8 th position. In the final positions game we had to play Ranfurly for the 7 th spot. After a slow start from Charlie, Tyrik, Tristan and Villi we finished off with some good hitting from Trey, Brayden and Raymond we managed 3/133. Ranfurly made a solid start but like our second game, good fielding and tight bowling we kept Ranfurly to a score of 3/126. Overall, 3 out of 4 wins for the day was a great effort. Well Done to Charlie, Tristan, Raymond, Tyrik, Villi, Bailey, Raymond and Brayden.
