Esk & District Junior Cricket<br />

KILCOY GOLF<br />

A home game on Saturday at Toogoolawah State school for the Tigers.<br />

This time against Forest Hill.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tigers won the toss and chose to bat first.<br />

Dean and Nate opened the batting and got the innings off to a good start scoring 9 and 8<br />

respectively.<br />

Isaac came in at third and top scored with another good innings of 19 including one six. Brodie<br />

added to the tally with a valuable 10 runs and Jai followed up with 7.<br />

<strong>The</strong> team had three players unavailable this week so Carter and Samuel from Esk and District<br />

one came across to help out.<br />

Carter scored a well played 13 and Samuel added to that with 7.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Forest Hill bowling and fielding was pretty good and made runs hard to get.<br />

After a well-earned drinks break it was the Tigers turn to bowl.<br />

After a few loose overs the Tigers bowlers started to get their line. Dean and Nate took 1 wicket<br />

each and Isaak did well taking 3 wickets.<br />

Brodie added to the tally taking 1 wicket and Jai , Carter and Samuel did well each taking 2<br />

wickets.<br />

Fielding by the Tigers was very good with everyone backing up and encouraging the bowler.<br />

<strong>The</strong> under 10s games go on a points scored and wickets lost format so a team may score more<br />

runs than the other but if they lose more wickets they can still lose the match.<br />

So in the end it was a win for the Tigers on their home ground.<br />

Esk and District 7/73<br />

Forest Hill 22/113.<br />

Player of the match was Jai and he will be Captain next week.<br />

A great effort by the team with only seven players on the day.<br />

Thanks to Carter and Samuel for helping out and also to Forest Hill for giving us a player to<br />

help in the field.<br />

Thanks also to all parents who helped on the day scoring, setting up and getting the kids<br />

organised.<br />

Esk1 travelled to the scenic Glenore Grove cricket oval on Saturday.<br />

Philippa was captain and after the toss we were sent into Bat in windy conditions.<br />

Our Openers Ben (18) and Louis (36) had us off to a great start making the most of the fast<br />

outfield hitting many boundaries.<br />

Holly was next in and she continued her good form with the bat to make an impressive<br />

29 runs. Pip (22) and Grace (36) made their highest ever scores hitting eleven boundaries<br />

between them. Girl Power!<br />

Millie was next in and she powered to 26 with lots of running between the wickets. Paul<br />

(5) was our finisher and made sure our total 5/172 (avg 34.4) was maintained by holding his<br />

wicket with great defence. Pauls running between wickets with Millie’s encouragment was<br />

very impressive.<br />

Bowling was never going to be easy bowling into the extreme wind. Our change of inning talk<br />

revolved around getting the ball up on the batsmen’s toes and creating pressure with great<br />

fielding. Ben, our opening bowler, had a dream start clean pitching the ball up as discussed<br />

and bowling the batsmen with the very first ball of our innings! <strong>The</strong> Tigers were up and about<br />

with the chat in the field prominent all day. Ben finished the day with outstanding figures of<br />

3/11. Millie chipped in with1/16. Louis was hard to score against as always with 1/5. Pauls<br />

bowling has improved greatly and did the team job of keeping the score down with some<br />

tight bowling. Pip bowled her best spell of the season to capture 2/16. Grace was sending<br />

them down quick and took 1/13. Holly bowled with great control and accuracy to capture<br />

her best ever figures of 2/4. This great bowling was backed up with even better fielding with 3<br />

runouts and Louis taking a great catch.<br />

Our team is playing with great spirit and sportsmenship which is great to see.<br />

This dominant performance left Glenore Grove at 12/83 (avg 6.92) thus the mighty Tigers<br />

season marches on. Thank you to Sue for scoring and the parents for warming the kids up and<br />

having them ready to go.<br />

A special thankyou to Carter and Sam for playing for ESK2 this week to balance up the playing<br />

numbers. We look forward to welcoming you back this week in the local derby playing against<br />

our club partners Esk2 in Toogoolawah.<br />

We would love to see a big crowd come on down and watch these little kids playing cricket.<br />

Bring down your picnic chair and enjoy a relaxing morning in the fresh air. We have shade<br />

marquees for the spectators or you may choose to sit under the beautiful gum trees (keeping<br />

in mind social distancing regulations).<br />

We are running a raffle on the day to support our club. <strong>The</strong>re will be a BBQ for players at the<br />

conclusion of the game at around 11.30am.<br />

A truck driver’s hopes to bring<br />

their B-double home have been<br />

dashed, with their application for<br />

a new route being shot down by<br />

the <strong>Somerset</strong> Regional Council.<br />

<strong>The</strong> application was refused by the council at<br />

their meeting last week, due to the disruption<br />

it would cause to neighbouring and nearby<br />

properties in terms of dust, noise, and<br />

vibrations.<br />

“I like development, I like people coming to<br />

the area, but looking at this, it’s going to be a<br />

very disruptive route,” Councillor Jason Wendt<br />

said.<br />

“If they were surrounded by 50-acre Lots,<br />

that’d be one thing, but there’s a lot of<br />

residents who would be impacted.”<br />

A similar request was submitted by another<br />

property owner on the same road back in<br />

March of 2017, which was also rejected by the<br />

<strong>The</strong> owner submitted a request to establish<br />

a new B-double route from their property<br />

on Edinburgh Drive at Mount Hallen to the<br />

existing B-double route along Gatton-Esk<br />

Road, allowing them to bring the truck back<br />

home on some evenings and weekends.<br />
