(above) Silverbach said he couldn't wait to pull out the blue stetson next wknd..
The boys hit the Pambula CC on the weekend, to see if they could do what few teams have managed this year and beat Pambula. In the end it was a bit of a canter, but in truth we were as close to playing to full potential as anytime this year. Again, our bowlers stepped up- Silverbach, The Don, King Kenty, Motty were as good and as economical as a hybrid car for the first 30 overs.

Particularly impressive was Motty with 0-11 off his 8. He was storming in off the long run- his confidence in the pitch justifying why we have to do the best we can when we lay our new track down! If he was a car, Motty would get you to Perth and back on half a tank of gas- that's how economical the boy is! Apparently he's so tight he couldn't pass rasberry seeds:)
back to the start though. arriving a little late- statistical expert Dunko won a toss (at last) and we batted. Bretto went cutting, Barney made his average, Davo wrote another page in his book'741 different ways to get yourself out in a season', theDon came in and smacked about 25 quick ones(breaking his handle in the process), Dunko hit 65, once again showing if one of us hit 50+ we never loose, Maz fired up and threw himself into a punishing drive only to find the hands of part time jockey and captain, mr blocker. The Taylor twins hit one great shot each before falling to the evil that is Leg Spin (thank god I'm bowling swing now), Mick 'Mardi Gras' Woolley hit a few quick ones to the fence and Motty and Pez bought up the rear. Not like bringing up the rear at the mardi gras mind you.
Again, it was the bowling and fielding that broke the opposition- Dunko put down an attemted speccy off Motty, But as always Barney was great behind the pegs, Davo snapped up another flying edge in what pundits of the game are now calling the 'Iron Cordon' and we cut heaps of singles out despite our gaps at mid wicket and cover as the boys are bowling so damn good.
No table this week, but I think if we win next week v Bega at home, we're assured of a finals spot!
yay!
