HOVER BALL: James Mullins of St Andrew's in action against
Woodridge last Saturday
St Andrew’s v Woodridge
The St Andrew’s College Stayers’
cricket XI won the toss in their
game against Woodridge on
Lower Field last Saturday and
showed no hesitation in electing
to bat first in the 40 over match.
St Andrew’s were well
placed at the orchestrated
10.45am interval on 102/2 after
23 overs. After the Rugby World
Cup celebrations, St Andrew’s
continued to add momentum to
their innings. Sam Francis top
scored with a fluent 64.
Nicholas Brotherton (38 not out)
and Luke Danckwerts (18 not
out) were impressive in the
middle overs, running well
between wickets, playing low
risk cricket, compiling St
Andrew’s competitive 208/4 in
their 40 overs.
EP left arm fast bowler Ian
Baard threatened for Woodridge
and will continue to be a bright
prospect for Woodridge in the
future.
After 23 overs, St Andrew’s
College had the upper hand and
had Woodridge on 94/5.
Wo o d r i d g e ’s vice-captain
BjornRuppelt then survived a
tight run-out decision and
continued his sweet ball striking
with his 60 runs coming off just
57 balls. Luke Biggs then also
started to find the boundary
adding pressure to the St
Andrew’s College bowlers.
St Andrew’s responded well
and fast bowler Tom Vermaak
bowled a solid final over closing
out a win for College by 9 runs.
Dale Brody continued his good
form with 3/31 and Matthew
Pope enjoyed a fine debut with
the ball of 2/20. Thanks to both
teams on a wonderful day in
which there was much to
c e l e b ra t e .
Happy Veg 7/-6
vs Trellidore 6/-5
Build It 6/ -8
vs Meridian Spa 5/ 6
Willie & Co 5/ 0
vs Clem & Co 5/ -1
BUCO Main 5/ -2
vs Sothebys 3/ -8
REMAX 3/ -24
vs Kennys Sports 0/ -10
At this point in the tournament,
and until its conclusion, the
ranking will be the team with
the highest points-score and, if
those are equal, it will go to
highest shot profit.
