Do or die game for Sutherland junior cricket in Gee Shield
Sutherland’s Gee Shield (under 13) team has the best chance of qualifying for Cricket NSW’s inter-district shields semi-finals. It currently leads Division 3 on quotient from Central Coast. However, the two teams clash next Sunday December 9 at Pat Morley Oval (Central Coast) with the winner qualifying for the play-offs.
The other Sutherland team with an outside chance of making the play-offs is the Moore Shield (under 14s) team. However, to qualify Sutherland would have to rely on lowly Bankstown (16th overall) defeating Division 1 leader, Fairfield Liverpool. As Sutherland’s last game is against Illawarra (17th overall) at Heathcote it would be expected to win.
Outstanding performances for Sutherland in the round came from:
• A Roberts in the under 11s who scored 41 and took 3/11 in Sutherland’s win over Bankstown
• B Dwarshuis scored 63 and N Panich took 4 wickets for 5 runs in the under 14s convincing win also over Bankstown
• A Thorogood scored 55 in Sutherland’s loss to Parramatta in the under 15s.
