12s win in nail biter, 14s in a canter, two centuries in inter-district cricket
In the Cawsey Shield (under 12) game against Newcastle, Sutherland batted first to score 5 for 162 in the allotted 50 overs. With a great captain’s knock E Grinham top scored with 69 while J Wood was run out for 30. In a real nail biter the Sutherland bowlers and fielders maintained the pressure to leave Newcastle 3 runs short of victory at 8 for 159 after 50 overs. In a tremendous all round team performance Sutherland used 11 bowlers seven of whom took a wicket each (Saunders, Smith, Williams, Grinham, McPhee, Wood and Burg) while Wood completed a good all round performance to effect a run out.
Sutherland’s Moore Shield team (under 14s) had a comprehensive win over South Eastern by nine wickets after their opponents were rolled for 48 in the 40th over. Almond (5/8) and Morton (3/8) were the principal destroyers for the Shire team.

In the Weblin Shield, Newcastle were dismissed for 177 with Smith (3/28) and Mullaly (3/33) being the main destroyers for Sutherland. Smith then opened the batting and dominated the innings to score 126 before being dismissed with the total only on 160. Thorogood (66no) and Thomas (35no) saw Sutherland safely pass Newcastle’s score before going on to reach 3 for 260 at the end of the allocated 60 overs.
The 16s participated in another nail biter. After captain Andersson’s brilliant 117, Sutherland finished with 173 after 60 overs. At 1 for 103, Illawarra looked like passing Sutherland’s score easily but then a fall of 4 wickets including two run outs by Rice put Sutherland back in the game. However, Illawarra’s lower order batsmen held the innings together to pass Sutherland’s score in the 59th over for the loss of 6 wickets.
