Summer Sports Exchanges

Summer Sports Exchange with St Andrew’s Preparatory School, 19 February

At the start of Term 1, Medbury visited St Andrew’s Preparatory School to play our annual summer sport exchange. The 1st XI had a convincing win by 86 runs. George Mehrtens stood out for the team scoring 86 off just 76 balls. The wickets were all spread amongst the players with Harry Flatman, Olli Aitken and Louie Garry all getting two wickets each.

The other two cricket teams also had good wins, with the tennis team drawing in matches won, but losing on count back 58-52. I would like to thank all the supporters for watching the games, and all the coaches for giving up their time and helping our boys out.

Summer Sports Exchange with Cathedral Grammar, 16 March

We arrived at Hagley Park early in the morning to start the exchange. The number one pair Tate Aikawa and Tasman Daly had an excellent start to the day with a near clean sweep of 4-0, 4-1. This was followed by the same result for the pairing of myself and Patrick Aitken. Both doubles, Yul Kwon and Max Uren, and Hugo Arthur and Ali Coles, beat their opponents 4-0, 4-0. After that, we moved onto the singles which all of our players won convincingly. Yul Kwon had another great game, winning over his opponent in straight sets.

The second eleven cricket team, captained by Jack Bishop had a great game. They started off with Medbury winning the toss and electing to bat first. They made an impressive 201 runs for 5, which put pressure on the opposition. Medbury ended up beating the Cathedral Grammar team by 26 runs. Jake Elvidge got an impressive score of 74 not out.
