Senior Binks/Tucker
A mixture of basketball and touch football tournaments and covid played havoc with player numbers on Saturday. All available players combined into two sides of 11 players.
The combined Smith and Lyon teams scored 7/101 and Cummins/Finch could only manage 10/50. For the winners there were some familiar names amongst the run scorers. Reif Leach top scored with 18, Brad Whitworth wasn't far behind with 17 and Jake Suine made a handy 14.
The best of the Cummins/Finch batsmen were Varis Gill who made 11, Miles Condon, Talon Williams and Thomas Bray all made seven. Smith/Lyon's most successful bowlers were Jake Suine who took 2/3 and Ayush Patel 2/7.
Jake Suine had a good enough day to take out the weekly award.
