Comment : The Year 9/10 cricket team despite missing several players produced a fantastic performance to beat a strong Westfield team. An excellent batting display from S Mowle (20) and G Guainiere (26 not out) saw the boys set a total of 101. With Westfield having a strong top order batting lineup it was essential BMS took early wickets and a fantastic opening spell from S Patel and S Mowle saw several key wickets taken. A Worth and J Allan then cleared up the middle order to give the boys a convincing and well deserved win. Well done boys !

Comment : The Year 7/8 cricket team came up against a strong Reach Free team on Monday. Reach Free went out to bat first and scored 70 for 6 off 15 overs. An excellent bowling display from all bowlers limited Reach Free. Moving into our bat, a strong start from F. Mordecai batting allowed him to score 21 runs, giving us a good start to our at bat. Some strong bowling from there onwards meant that we were limited in the number of runs we scored. With 4 overs left, we picked up the pace, scoring a number of runs bringing the game closer as we finished. Despite a late flurry of runs, we unfortunately fell 2 runs short off, scoring 69 off 15 overs. An unfortunate result from two relatively similar teams, but well done to all students involved. Onto the next match.
