(1) Senior Girls Indoor Cricket Season Report

Report by Serena Gibbs (Year 12)

The MLMC indoor cricket girls got over the line against longtime cricket rivals Tintern, winning 122-101. The build-up to this game was intense, as we had to wait five weeks between games and both teams were wondering if they’d become a bit rusty over the break. The nerves of the whole team showed early out on the field, with dropped catches and missed run out opportunities. But, we all got behind each other, applying the pressure to Tintern who finished their innings with 101 runs. Going in to bat, we knew we had to just chip away at the run chase and the rest would fall into place. We went in to bat with a changed game plan as well as a changed batting line-up. With these changes, all the girls went out and executed the game plan to perfection, coming home with the premiership.

I just want to thank all the girls for putting in 110% effort each week and showing that all that hard work has paid off. Finally, a massive shout-out to Miss Esmonde for coaching us again this season and for always make sure we’re sliding our bats when we’re running.

Congratulations to Zeke Doyle (Year 8) who has recently competed at the Victorian Junior League Baseball Championships and the Australia vs Japan Friendship Series. Zeke’s team dominated the Vic champs series, only dropping one game over four days. Japan took out the win in the Friendship Series, but it was a fantastic opportunity for Australia to play at such a competitive level. Well done from the MLMC community, Zeke - keep up the fantastic work.
