T20 Semi Final Result 14/01

15th January 2025

Ex-Students & Churchill will face off on Friday night for the inaugural CLV Italian Australian Club T20 title after beating Moe & Morwell respectively.

At Keegan St, Churchill dismantled Morwell for 78, passing the total just 2 wickets down just one ball past halfway of the allotted overs.

At Terry Hunter Reserve between Ex-Students & Moe, the innings were relatively similiar, with the small differences proving decisive. 

3 batsmen got starts in each, Students having two of them with strike rates above 117 (Pryde 27 off 19 & Trease 27* off 23) and the other one close to 100 (Dyke 30 off 32). For Moe’s 3 starts, 100 was the best strike rate (Kane 32 off 32, Hughes 24 off 31, Pheeney 22 off 24)

In the field, Students put down a few chances whilst Moe held theirs, with a few good catches taken. But in terms of ground fielding, the hosts were well and truly the stronger in restricting 1’s to dots and not allowing 2’s. 

Pryde 3/16 (4) & Brady 2/16 (4) were excellent with the ball for the Sharks. Moe shared the wickets around with 5 of the 6 used nabbing one scalp each, Hughes 1/15 (4) & Johnstone 1/20 (4) the best of the bunch.

With all of that being said, credit to our team for making it to the semi final stage, with some matches featuring just 5 or so of our best 1st XI against opponents with either their full or just about their full best 1st XI. Great experience for some of those working their way up the grades.

Thanks to those who made themselves available Tuesdays to represent the club in this comp.

Now the focus returns to Saturday cricket for the run home towards finals and hopefully more.
