Rupo upsets Gisborne

Day to remember: Saturday was a very special day for hard hitting Macedon batter Ivan Bobetic and his two teenage sons — they all played together for the first time in a McIntyre Cup 1sts cricket match. "It's a great day for us ... I've played a lot of cricket in different places at various levels and to be on the field today with Will and Henry is great," Ivan said during the match at John Clifford Oval against Romsey. Will, aged 17, opened the batting but was trapped leg before wicket for one, Ivan made 32, mostly in boundaries, before a mistimed drive led to his downfall. Henry scoredmade a quick 19 late in the innings and was the last batter dismissed. They youngsters were delighted to play with their dad in the top grade for the first time. And there is another up and coming cricketer in the family; 12-year-old Martha already plays cricket, and wants to earn a permanent place in the Cats' Under 15s. "There are seven teenagers in the side today. Macedon is a fine club and really looks after young players. There's a bright future here," Ivan added.
