Indigenous Game Results v Centrals & Photos
Firstly, a massive thank you to all involved in getting this day up and running with special mention to Mark Lindsay & Marinus Link for sponsoring the occasion – Marinus were presented a framed shirt on the day. FNC Sportswear were the manufacturer and the kits came up a treat. Thankyou to Aunty Michelle Hood for conducting the Welcome to Country & Smoking Ceremony and to Cr Adele Pugsley for also supporting the event.
Along with Jarryd Atkinson-Mobourne, Daniel Mobourne & Troy Oakley who all had a hand in helping the vision come to fruition.
On field, it was the 3844 Lions visiting the 3825 Lions in the Battle of The Prides.
Premier A Grade
Match Highlights – https://youtu.be/ReDNsxSjaWI?si=EkiHlbvKIbuqV4az
Moe managed to bowl out Centrals for 97. Tye Hourigan top scored for Centrals with 38, whilst Callum Grant took 3/19 & Anubhav 2/17, both from their allotted 10 overs.
The hosts chased down the total successfully for the loss of 2 wickets to claim a bonus-point win. Rob Phoenix top scoring with 44 and Grant making 20. Williamson & Donovan took 1 wicket each for the visitors.
Premier B Grade
Some late hitting from Ritvik Mahajan (21), Riley Semmens (20) & Aiden Savige (14*) gave Moe something to bowl to after it looked a low total was on the cards. Corey Pollard took 4/27 for Centrals and there were 2 run outs.
Mark Rawson (21), Pollard (17) & Dean Rode (15) got starts as Centrals were bundled out for 79. All bowlers used shared the wickets with Mahajan (4/23) removing the lower order after Aiden Savige (3/24) & Daniel Farmer (2/25) had success with the new ball.
Premier C Grade
After falling to 2/16 early, Moe posting 4/177 (40). Paul Cake 90* (109) carried his bat but ran out of time for a century, Noah Keltie (20 off 70) got some valuable time at the crease and Shaun Curtis (41 off 40 including 3 sixes) displayed some power hitting. Liam Gibbons (3/12) was Centrals best with the ball.
Kyan Doble (26) comfortably top scored as Centrals were bowled out for 54. Dave Biggins (3/8) & Cake (3/10) did the damage with Matt Burridge (2/2) dismissing Doble & taking the last wicket in the space of 4 balls.
Summary
Moe claim victories in all 3 Grades on the same day for (i think) just the second time this season.
Thanks to Centrals once again for joining us in this event. The two set of Lions Clubs have a great relationship and we wish you the best for the remainder of the season with A Grade to play again in 4wks time, whilst this was the last meeting of the campaign for B & C Grades
