CCC Crowned One Day D 2010/2011 Premiers

After winning the toss we elected to bowl first, our bowlers performed well as did all our fielders. Kelmscott as usual came our swinging from the first ball. After their 40 overs Kelmscott had scored of 9/177.

Our boys were confident on achieving this total and our opening pair of Robbie Murdoch and Geoff Barrett put on an opening partnership of 74, before Geoff was caught after making 28 runs. Then an 81 run partnership between Robbie and Matt Bowerman had us on the road to victory. Robbie was the second wicket to fall when the score was 155. Robbie reached 91 before being stumped, it was a shame that he couldn’t go on and reach his century as he deserved it for his efforts through out the season.

With 23 runs remaining for victory Trent Barrett came to the wicked to join Matt Bowerman, some big swings from Trent had us all nervous. With 5 runs still needed for victory, Matt Bowerman was the 3rd wicket to fall after making a very handy 35 runs.
We passed Kelmscott’s score in the 36 overs and reached 3/182.

I could not be prouder for the team in the way they played all season, we hadn’t beaten Kelmscott all season and to beat them on the big stage away from home was sensational.

 
Well done again, I will remember this season and this victory for many years. Thanks to all for their efforts this season, you deserved the win and it was a fitting reward for your season. Thanks also to Joe Covic for being our 12th man on the day.
