Over 40s End Season With A Win

Over 40’s match report: 12/2/17 vs Tamborine. Hession Oval

The day started well with the skipper winning the toss! Two in row! Anyhow we put Tambo into bat. D.Wade aka Mr Cool took the first wicket with a one handed caught and bowled. All the bowlers were rotated off after a couple of overs due to the extreme heat. S.Beekmeyer bowled five overs 1 for 12 including two maidens. Sexpo bowled 6 overs with 2 for 22. All the bowlers performed really well and we had Tambo all out for 124. Only one dropped catch and that was an ankle high chance though slip. Catches held today were from yours truly, R.McIntosh and M.Wade. In addition we effected two side on run outs by M.Ryan and P.Haydock. Our fielding was very good.

Another great lunch prepared by the magnificent Jo. Thanks Jo for all you have done for the Masters team this year.

D.Sexton and M.Windleborn opened the batting and got us off to a great start! Dan was out for 17. The 39 degree heat took its toll on Michael and myself and we both retired buggered. 21 and 7 respectively. M.Wade made 19 and A.Murphy made also made 19. Mr D.Houghton tried hard to get himself out! Dropped with 1 run needed. Luckily Shaun was there to save the day hitting a 4 to win the game!

A great game despite the heat! Great Hawk spirit was shown today! While our season may have finished, it has been the best season for masters that I have been involved in! Looking forward to next year where I am sure we can build on from this season!
