Match Reports1st GradeRound 12 Vs GWBat Stirling, 19 Feb 1994With the finals all but out of reach, we wentinto this one determined to show our friendfrom the Canberra Times we were a betterside than he believes us to be. It was alsoimportant for the club that the top side puttogether some good end of seasonperformances, and restore a little of some lostconfidence.One day cricket couldn't have asked for amore perfect location than the flat track, fastoutfield and blue skies of Stirling Oval —winning the toss was a bonus.A midweek pep talk from Coach King hadthe batsmen in an aggressive frame of mindas openers Harvey and Hazell put on 56 in 15overs for the first wicket, our best start thisseason. That enabled Maxie and JP to cutloose and thrash the bowling all over theground for a record 166 run partnership (injust 94 minutes!).JP was in a particularly savage mood, belting88 off just 76 deliveries. Maxie finished 86not out (100 balls) and the total animpressive 4 for 265 from 50 overs.An early breakthrough from Chunter broughtthe dangerous Justin Williams to the creaseand while he was there the runs wereflowing. With the score 2 for 117 off 29overs, it took a piece of brilliance from 'TheWhippet' (a direct hit from side on) to sparkthe Creek into action. Next ball Pistolremoved the leg stump of Williams, and sixruns later Grifter turned into John Dyson atlong on and took probably the greatest catchever seen! Ask him about it. It wasunbelievable.Victory v/as now just a matter of time, thefinal margin 58 runs ...
