Western Wildfires on a Roll

For the first time, the Wildfires have won 3 games in a row. The Wildfires scored over 200 for the first time for a few years against Qurindi and were able to keep the opposition to just under 200 in Mudgee.

In the first of the more recent matches, the Wildfires just edged out Port Jackson at home in Lithgow.

The Wildfires batted first and were all out for 145 in the 39th over. The stand out was a well compiled 43 by newcomer Mick McCormack. He was well supported by Tony Boyling (19), and Steve Walsh and Chris Cox both with15.

In reply and with a tense finish, Port Jackson were dismissed in the 38th over for 141. The pick of the bowlers were Glen Campbell 2/26 and Mick Byrne 2/23. Good fielding by the Wildfires led to 4 run-outs, with 3 of these being 3 of the last 4 wickets to fall, giving victory to the Wildfires by 4 runs.

Last week, the Wildfires took on Hunter/ Newcastle and in a high scoring match, the Wildfires took out the match by 20 runs.

Again the Wildfires batted first making a very good 5/215 with Chris Cox top scoring with 39. He was well supported by Mick Byrne, Clive White, Kim Taylor and Steve Walsh all making scores in the 20s. The match also saw Graham Ford make his debut and he was unconquered on 5no.

Even though, Hunter batted well, they finished on 5/195. The wickets were shared with Hicks, Walsh, Castle, Fitzgerald and Byrne each taking a wicket. However, Steve Walsh with figures of 1/13 coupled with his 20no was deserved Man of the Match.

With 3 games left for the season, the team is looking to see if the winning streak can continue.
