Cricket stars of the future
SOME of the district’s youngest cricketers enjoyed a competitive but fun day at Bushfield last Sunday.
Celebrating the final round of the home and away season in the under 11 West competition, the youngsters enjoyed a ‘bowl off’ at the conclusion of the round’s matches.
Competing for the chance to win a new bat, players were keen to put their skills to the test with the ball.
Eventual winners Liam Spooner (Strikers) and Levi Barker (Raiders) were thrilled to receive their prizes from president of the North Warrnambool Eels, Jamie Harry.
“The kids all had a great day and it was a terrific way to end the home and away season before finals,” Harry said.
“Our games run each Sunday morning at various locations across the district, providing a great introduction to the sport of cricket.
“Once the games were finished we had the bowl off and abit of a sausage sizzle. The kids will play finals this Sunday from 9am at Russells Creek.”
