ELEVEN <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong>’s best players from the<br />
national carnival represented <strong>Defence</strong> against an<br />
ACT under 19’s team on November 21.<br />
While the cream <strong>of</strong> available ADF talent was on<br />
hand and already warmed up for the challenge, they<br />
were never expected to beat the ACT young guns.<br />
However, they did turn in a respectable performance,<br />
especially in the middle order, with POs Mark<br />
Ham and Luke Grimmond hitting very entertaining<br />
65 and 60 runs each.<br />
Set a target <strong>of</strong> 349 to win, the ADF side decided<br />
at the outset that their only mission was to bat out<br />
their full 50 overs and give the youngsters a decent<br />
hitout in the lead up to their own carnival.<br />
However, the quick wicket began to show some<br />
promise for the batsmen early on, giving the ADF<br />
side a glimmer <strong>of</strong> hope.<br />
With several balls dispatched to the boundary<br />
and an odd one even topping the fence, the game<br />
got quite exciting.<br />
“It was a fantastic experience to hit out against a<br />
team <strong>of</strong> basically full-time cricketers – all <strong>of</strong> whom<br />
were less than half my age,” PO Mark Ham said.<br />
“In the end, I think we gave the ACT boys a<br />
decent game and we achieved our goal to bat out<br />
the 50 – and put more than 200 runs on the board.<br />
“But 350 was a bit beyond us today.”<br />
Final score was ACT U19s 5-348 defeated<br />
ASCA XI 7-213 in a full 100-over game.<br />
