Another great season for the team! The boys progressed for the third year in a row without losing a game to go on and win the grand final. We welcomed Jarryd Sainty to the team this season. We were put under pressure several times and on each occasion the boys would support each other and rise to the challenge. Our closest game was in the Semi Final against Norwest where we bowled them out for 96 and then struggled to pass their score 9 wickets down. In the Final against Kings Langley the boys found their form again bowling out Kings Langley for 97 and then passing their score only 3 wickets down. Again it was a pleasure to be involved with a team of talented young cricketers who played with such skill and professionalism. Some of the highlights of the season started in our first game with Nick making 65 runs and Samira taking 4/14. Round 2 was a one-day game with Guilford Leagues winning the toss and electing to bat.
