Wet weather saw all Saturday games, juniors in the morning and seniors in the afternoon, washed for the Healesville Cricket Club on Saturday 9 December, with only two Friday night junior games getting a result.
U12-4: Healesville 2/172 defeated Kilsyth 9/86
Travelling to Kilsyth, Healesville were sent into bat with Louis Keath belting up 63* from 29 balls including 3 sixes and Mika Kerst 25* from 16 balls with 4 boundaries doing most of the damage. Kael Senti 17*, Angus Morcombe 11* and Ben Hunter 10* all reached double figures with our score building to 2/172 from 23 overs. Healesville’s big score was too much for Kilsyth landing on 9/86 from 23 overs. Angus Morcombe captured 2 wickets and Healesville snared three runouts, great fielding from the team.
