U11's End of Season Summary 2005-2006

The season to us was a great success, we had 6 old faces return from last year and 6 boys in their first year of cricket. We lost two games this season and both of them were by less than 10 runs. The boys always played the game of cricket in good spirit and showed great sportsmanship throughout the season. I was commended by a parent from another team on how impressed she was with the way our team played and behaved on the field. Steve and I hope you all enjoyed your season of cricket. So again, a fantastic job well done boys. Here are some statistics for the season.

Batting

With limited batting in the nets, it was great to see that every player improved in this category. All players made contributions to the team, especially Pauly, Big Bad Brad and Cookie during the second half of the season. But a special mention to the boys who performed on a consistent basis all season. Congratulations to Nathan who topped the Batting and also scored at an amazing strike rate of 97. The top five should be very proud of their performances this season.

Bowling

This was the category which we saw the most improvements. Richard and Matty who were both new to the game improved tremendously. Both finished the season with a few wickets in their bag. Pat bowled like a demon at times. Sammy and Ryan bowled their little hearts out. Congratulations to the boys who performed week in week out, Pete and Justin conceded less than three runs per over for the season. Pete also topped the list for wickets taken this season. Big Bad Brad who had a slow start to the season was bowling with tremendous pace. It was a great effort by all.

Steve and I would like to thank all the parents that watched the games week in week out. It was great to see the support from those parents, I also think it help with the performance of their child, so thank-you. Also a special thank-you to John Hamilton who helped us with the scoring for the season and also for his support towards the team. Thank-you to all others who helped with the scoring during the season.

Finally thanks to all the boys for their excellent efforts, I hope all of you learnt something, but most importantly, I hope you enjoyed yourselves and hopefully we will see all of you back next season.

Yours in Cricket

Under 11's Mid Season Report:

It was a nervous start to the season against Coomera, we lost our first game by nine runs. The boys bounce back the next week and defeated the same team (Coomera) by 35 runs. Since that first lost the boys have played brilliantly and are currently undefeated. There have been some great improvements since the start of the season. A special mention must be made to the boys who only started playing cricket this season, Dylan, Patrick, Richard, Matthew, Bradley and Paul have all performed well. The other boys in the team are all backing up from last year and have been fantastic leaders. Nathan, Peter and Justin are leading the batting and bowling averages. Dane is bowling really well, Sam and Ryan are trying their hearts out and have shown great improvements. We hope that this form will continue in the new year.

Enjoy your Cricket,
