Cricket MIDDLE SCHOOL CRICKET 7A CRICKET Mr Corey Miskiewicz Coach The likes of Taylor Hannah, Oliver Cranny and Finn Gismondi all featured with the bat each game whilst Preston Campbell, Noah Egitto, Spencer Bluntish and Mitchell McGrath were often our best bowlers each week with disciplined and consistent areas. If there was a game you wanted to win each term, it had to be against Aquinas College which the boys managed to do at Waterford setting a respectable 8/87 and keeping Aquinas to 5/71. Batting MVP Oliver Cranny Bowling MVP Noah Egitto Fielding MVP Mitchell McGrath 7B CRICKET Mr Cody Leggett (’13) Coach This group was by far the best group of students I have coached. Their willingness to learn and listen was outstanding. We didn't lose a game and it wasn't just the talent but the way they bonded together as a team. Even with the changes to the side on a weekly basis, the cooperation between players was maintained. Batting MVP Antonio Galipo Bowling MVP Max Pola Fielding MVP Timothy Robinson 7C CRICKET Mr Nicholas Marciano (’14) Coach It was a pleasure to coach the 7Cs and I was impressed by the way they collaborated as a team. Their commitment to each other was a major factor in the team’s success. After losing the first game to Aquinas, they rebounded impressively to remain undefeated for the rest of the season. Thanks to Mr Rod Rainer, Mr Steve Leahy (’78) and Mr David Hankin for their support. Thanks to Nick Moulton (’15) for making sure the kit was always stocked. Batting MVP Brad Lawrence Bowling MVP Thomas Gavin Fielding MVP Gabriel Hamilton 7D CRICKET Mr Fraser Hay (‘13) Coach Our bowling attack was led by fast bowler Jonathan Slater, who always set the standard from ball one. He rarely missed his line length and always had the batsmen under pressure, which was highlighted by his best figures of 3/5 off 2.2 overs. The batting was held together by Jesse McQuillan. It was humbling to sit back and watch this group of boys never once argue about batting last or not bowling as much as someone else and uphold their team spirit for the season.

8A CRICKET Mr Michael Murphy Coach We had a record of three wins and three losses. They were a pleasure to coach. The best performance was when we were batting second, chasing 125 against a strong Wesley College team. Trinity was in trouble at 5/43 after 13 over, but a 77 run partnership between Tom Murray and Reece Gerrand put the team in a strong position. A collapse of 4/2 left us in a precarious position still needing four runs with only one wicket in hand. Sri Dharmapuri calmly strode to the crease and confidently pushed his first ball through the covers for two and then Reece hit the winning runs in the last over to bring up his 50. Batting MVP Riley Mattingley Bowling MVP Tom Murray Fielding MVP Finn Moloney 8B CRICKET Mr Daniel Bateman Coach In every game the 8Bs played their hearts out, putting in a lion’s effort week in and week out. In a game against Guildford Grammar School, the boys came agonisingly close to chasing down a massive 99 off just 20 overs, falling short by just seven runs after some brilliant hitting by Griffin Woodhouse, Harry McHardie and Michael Boffey. Although ending in a draw, the last fixture against Wesley was a game to remember for the boys, where we had some batting cameos by the usual bowlers and brilliant bowling performances by the usual top order. Batting MVP Griffin Woodhouse Bowling MVP Michael Tassone Fielding MVP Nicholas Cooley 8/9C CRICKET Mr Chris Allanson (‘91) Coach The 8/9C cricket team produced some mixed results, however we finished with three wins and three losses, an improvement from 2015. Half centuries to Fynn Langer and Seyha Robertson-Zurzolo were highlights as was the way we played against Guildford in scorching hot conditions at Lilac Hill. Amal Subi has taken one of the best reflex catches you are ever likely to see against Guildford. Our bowling improved across the course of the season. This was most likely attributable to time spent bowling in the nets. Batting MVP Fynn Langer Bowling MVP Amal Subi Fielding MVP Daniel Santelli
