Tigers’ quick Hugh set<br />
to pounce in Caribbean<br />
PACE sensation Hugh Sherriff (pictured) heads a talented<br />
batch of Sydney Tigers’ cricketers bound for the exotic island<br />
of Barbados next month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 17 year old<br />
Tigers’ first grade<br />
spearhead is part of<br />
the Mortlake-based<br />
360 Cricket Academy<br />
team that is padding<br />
up for the annual Sir<br />
Garfield Sobers International<br />
Schools<br />
U/19 Cricket Tournament<br />
to be staged on<br />
the Caribbean island<br />
from July 7-22.<br />
By CHRIS KARAS<br />
Young gun Hugh -<br />
the inaugural recipient<br />
of the SCG Cricket<br />
Sir Ron Brierley<br />
Scholarship - is one<br />
of the brightest prospects<br />
in the NSW<br />
Premier Cricket first<br />
grade competition.<br />
A former Australian<br />
U/16s, NSW U/17s<br />
and Cricket Australia<br />
X1 Under 17 representative,<br />
pace ace<br />
Sherriff will lead an<br />
exciting 360 Academy<br />
side to be managed<br />
and coached by<br />
Sydney Tigers stalwart<br />
Dan Smith.<br />
Promising cubs like<br />
Green Shield keeper<br />
batsman Lachlan<br />
Shaw, all rounder<br />
Harrison Townsend<br />
who helped NSW<br />
Country/ACT clinch<br />
the National U/17s<br />
title and emerging<br />
14 year old batsman<br />
James Moore also<br />
feature in the strong<br />
Academy side that<br />
is aiming to go one<br />
better after finishing<br />
runners up to<br />
Combermere School<br />
Bridgetown in last<br />
year’s Barbados<br />
tournament.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sir Ron Brierley<br />
Scholarship will<br />
assist Hugh with his<br />
off-season academy<br />
trip to the West Indies<br />
where he’ll test<br />
his skills against<br />
some of the best<br />
Barbadian cricketers<br />
and learn to play in<br />
different conditions.<br />
Coach Smith said<br />
it was a great opportunity<br />
for Hugh<br />
and team mates to<br />
develop their cricket<br />
and return as finer<br />
players.<br />
Named after the<br />
great West Indies<br />
all rounder and national<br />
hero Sir Garry<br />
Sobers, this annual<br />
tournament attracts<br />
school teams under<br />
19 years of age to<br />
compete with their<br />
local, regional and<br />
international counterparts<br />
in St Michael.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament is<br />
based on 40-over<br />
matches.<br />
Since 1986 the Sir<br />
Garfield Sobers International<br />
Schools<br />
Cricket Tournament<br />
has given schoolboys<br />
the rare opportunity<br />
of playing<br />
on an international<br />
stage.<br />
To date this tournament<br />
has produced<br />
the likes of former<br />
West Indies captain<br />
Brian Lara, Darren<br />
Ganga, Roland<br />
Holder and several<br />
English and South<br />
African test match<br />
players.<br />
For the best two<br />
teams there is also<br />
the opportunity of<br />
playing the final at<br />
the historic Kensington<br />
Oval test venue<br />
- the oldest ground<br />
in the Caribbean -<br />
and meeting some of<br />
the greatest cricketers<br />
that ever lived<br />
in the incomparable<br />
Sobers, Sir Everton<br />
Weekes, Sir Wesley<br />
Hall, Sir Charles Griffith,<br />
Seymour Nurse,<br />
Joel Garner and Desmond<br />
Haynes.<br />
After the final, a festival<br />
game is played<br />
between the Caribbean<br />
teams and a<br />
combined side from<br />
the United Kingdom.<br />

Hawks’ league teams well placed for<br />
finals charge in Combined Sydney series<br />
RYDE EASTWOOD Under 20 rugby league team remain on track for the NSWRL Combined Sydney<br />
Gold finals series after toppling Hills District 26-6 last Sunday at McCreadie Park Guildford.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hawks are entrenched<br />
in third spot<br />
on 21 points behind<br />
competition pacesetters<br />
Asquith Magpies<br />
(24 points) and second<br />
placed East Hills Bulldogs<br />
(22 points) with<br />
plenty of room for improvement.<br />
(bold)<br />
Versatile half back<br />
Shannon Condon produced<br />
another skilful<br />
performance for the talented<br />
Ryde Eastwood<br />
side, showing his class<br />
and creativity with the<br />
ball and tenacity in defence<br />
to earn the Player<br />
of the Match award.<br />
Condon was supported<br />
by hard working<br />
prop Callum Ellis, hooker<br />
Blake Layton, elusive<br />
winger Sione Tupou and<br />
promising 18 year old<br />
back rower Bray Guyan.<br />
MEANWHILE the<br />
Hawks’ all conquering<br />
Under 18s team remains<br />
undefeated in the<br />
Combined Sydney Gold<br />
competition after their<br />
fixture against Clovelly<br />
Crocodiles at Waverley<br />
Oval was washed out<br />
last weekend.<br />
It has been a frustrating<br />
month for the Ryde<br />
Eastwood cubs who<br />
have endured two washouts,<br />
a bye and forfeit in<br />
recent weeks.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have won all six<br />
matches played to date<br />
but are keen to get back<br />
on the field to push their<br />
claims for the minor premiership.<br />
Ryde Eastwood lead<br />
the Combined Sydney<br />
Under 18 Gold competition<br />
on 18 points - four<br />
points clear of second<br />
placed St Johns Eagles<br />
(14 points) and third<br />
placed Newtown Jnr<br />
Jets (14 points), Berala<br />
Bears (13) and Clovelly<br />
Crocodiles (9).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hawks’ Open Age<br />
Womens team shares a<br />
slice of the competition<br />
lead in the <strong>2019</strong> Combined<br />
Sydney Eastern<br />
Open Age Womens series.<br />
Despite a washout last<br />
weekend, the female<br />
Hawks are well positioned<br />
for a title charge<br />
on 22 points after eight<br />
matches along with<br />
South Sydney clubs<br />
Redfern All Blacks (22)<br />
and Mascot Juniors (22).<br />
In the Sydney Shield<br />
competition, second<br />
placed St Marys edged<br />
out Ryde Eastwood 30-<br />
26 in a gripping encounter<br />
at St Marys Leagues<br />
Stadium last Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Saints led 24-10<br />
at the interval before<br />
the Hawks rallied with<br />
16 unanswered points<br />
through tries by half<br />
back Tristan Evans-Tsoi,<br />
fullback Josh Rizk and<br />
centre Reggie Alofipo<br />
and two Josh Condon<br />
conversions to grab a<br />
26-24 lead.<br />
Prop Dylan Fuad<br />
crashed over for a late<br />
try to seal a St Marys<br />
triumph with half Dylan<br />
White adding the extras.<br />
Ryde Eastwood sit in<br />
fifth spot on 18 points<br />
behind competition<br />
pace setters Cabramatta<br />
(28), St Marys (23),<br />
East Campbelltown Eagles<br />
(22) and Guildford<br />
Owls (22).<br />
