Year 7s and 9s pick up solid wins

Collie Year 7s played Colts at Hay Park last week.

Captain Tyson Washer lost the toss and was sent in to bowl.

Opener Oliver McLean started the team off strong with a maiden over. 

The team all bowled tight with the most runs taken in an over being only five. 

Lucas Worlley also managed a maiden over in the seventh over. 

McLean’s second over saw the first wicket of the day fall, followed not long after by Cruz McCagh with a direct hit.

Just before drinks break Worlley managed to take another wicket for the team taking Colts to 3/41 at end of first innings. 

To the center went Washer and Toby Hanns to start off the run chase for Collie.

The boys got off to a slow start but soon managed to get their eye in and start making runs.

The sixth over saw Hanns’ time at the crease come to an end when he was bowled. In came McLean.

Washer soon departed on a well-deserved 12 on his last ball before retiring.

Worlley joined McLean and started strong with a quick couple of fours before McLean was ran out on five.

Montana Dallywater then helped Worlley lift Collie’s run rate as the pair continued to bat well and find boundaries.

At the end of innings Collie were 3/58. 

Third over into the new innings saw Collie gain its fourth wicket with a great catch from Clarrie Boyle off McLean’s bowling.

Two overs later Worlley sent down an exceptional ball to send the bails flying. 

Colts picked up its run rate with its young gun Tex until Blair Scott took a great catch from the bowling of Isabella Dallywater to dismiss him for a well-deserved 32.

The last two wickets fell consecutively to leave Montana Dallywater on a hat-trick for his next game after the Christmas break.

Colts were all out 110. 

With 53 runs needed to win the game, out went Montana Dallywater and Worlley.

The 19th over saw Worlley bowled for 22 off 29 balls picking up four boundaries.

McCagh joined Dallywater and was determined to get off the mark this week and make his first runs for the season.

McCagh faced 28 balls and held up the end allowing Dallywater to score much needed runs until he was bowled (three) and Collie were 5/100.

Boyle and Dallywater saw Collie draw the match just before Dallywater was caught for 29 off 33 balls picking up five boundaries.

Scott took to the center and hit the winning run for Collie.

The team continued to hit out the overs until they were all dismissed for 118. Boyle (2), Dallywater (0) and Scott (6 not out) closed out the inning.
