First Game for Cobblebank Cricket Academy Students

Cobblebank Campus Year 10 Cricket Academy students represented the College in their first competitive game last week against Lara Secondary College in Lara and came home with a win!

There were plenty of nerves amongst the group as it was also the first time some members had been part of a competitive T20 cricket match. 

The nerves quickly dispelled when the game started, and with some tight bowling, we were able to restrict Lara to 9/122 from their 20 overs.

Gursidak finished with 3/11 for three overs, while Kanwar also contributed two wickets.

As we went out to start our innings, the players were instructed to control the controllable, focus, and play each ball on its merits, so as not to lose easy wickets. 

Uv and Trip were instrumental -  both players retired after 10 overs with the score at 0/104. Uv finished with 55* and Trip 37*. Both students remained calm and confidently moved the ball around the field. This boosted the team's confidence, and we finished 8/153 after our 20 overs.

Well done to all players from both teams who participated on the day in hot conditions. They all demonstrated teamwork, communication and dedication.
