Last week saw Gisborne District Cricket Association’s junior players participating in country week cricket.
Eight teams of both girls and boys played from Under 12s to Under 15s playing against teams from the Barwon, Central Highlands and Northern Rivers regions.
One of the highlights of the week was the Under 14 girls teams who played at the brand new cricket facilities at Catherine Macaulay College in Bendigo where Gisborne Green team went undefeated throughout the week until succumbing to the might of the Bendigo association. With nine of the players still eligible for next season, the future is bright for the girls in green.
Some of the notable performances for the week were Ruby Shinn-Mahony 70 runs, Harrison Wood 132 runs, Ryan Muller 137 and Luke Cameron 148 runs, while with the ball Lily Malone nine wickets, Jaideep Singh nine wickets, Charlie Williams eight wickets and Finn Stuban six wickets all performed well against the different age groups.
