round 2 0809 week 1
October 20th, 20081st grade : Vs Helensvale @ Hession Park, Helensvale
HV – 139; LVCC – 3/32
:: first grade ::
With a green top, winning the toss was the last thing we needed.. So losing the toss wasn’t all bad, when Helensvale decided to bat.. Once again we were off to a flyer, Helensvale were 1 for 0, and Handles had the first of his six (6) wickets, with Luke taking a screamer at 2nd slip.. With the luck of the Irish, and more edges than a broken glass Helensvale rocketed to 76.. Handles, and Clarkey remedied the situation, with some great lines, tight bowling, and some great hands from Donaldson, and Butter Fingers Lawson, Helensvale slumped to be 6 for 88.. And with an hour to go in the day, they were all out for 137.. Handles finishing with 6 for 38, Clarkey 2 for 55, and Skittles Skeet 1 for 29.. Lukey finished with 2 great catches (and one dropped one, but we won’t mention that), Lawso also took two catches at gully (one of them took 4 grabs to snare), and Razor with his new improved spectacles also chimed in with a low down grab… All in all a great effort in the field..
The Logan Village batsman had a tricky 60 minutes to get through to the end of play on day one with the light fading fast… Unfortunately Jimmy 1, Laws 9, Skittles 4, all failing to get the job done… Phil and Lukey held strong to see out the day with the Village at 3 for 32, and all to do next week..
