U12-7 Healesville had a bye

U14-3 Healesville 6/296 defeated Norwood 112 – day 2 of 2 day game

With 40 runs required to win the team faced and early scare losing three quick wickets before Henry Harding and Aeden Senti saw the team over the line.

To give everyone a chance, the team batted on with some good scores being made with Henry finishing 20*, Aeden making 35, Summer Caldicott 25*, Harry Thomas 20*, and with the final pair with Norwood’s coach getting increasingly frustrated with the big hitting ability of Raff Morcombe and Harry Duff saw Duff make his maiden half century bringing it up with a massive six into the forest off only 23 balls.

A great knock for the young man to cap off his man of the match performance after picking up three wickets last week.

1st XI Healesville 224 defeated Lusatia Park 83 – day 2 of 2 day game

The team was set with the proposition of defending 224 with Lusatia already being restricted to 2/38 and the day couldn’t get any better.

Darren Edwards removed the dangerous Chris Reynolds in the first over and it was one way traffic from that point forward with the bloods taking 8/44 in the day with Edwards finishing of 4/14, Max Wallace taking three wickets, Luke Chandler two and Darcy English one in a triumphant day for the 1s putting them back in the top 2.

2nd XI Healesville 155 defeated by Lusatia Park 9/156 – day 2 of 2 day game

Week 2 against Lusatia Park the 2XI set out to get early wickets with the visiting team starting the day 0/40 with Healesville defending 155.

Luck leaning Healesville’s way to start the day with one of the batsmen in was unable to play this week so we only had to get nine wickets to win.

Mitch Tampeline (1/17 off 15.3) returning from injury dried the run rate right up putting Healesville in good position only going for seven runs in his first 10 over spell got an early wicket bowling in partnership with Beau Hawkins (1/29 off 11).

With three wickets down the ever crafty Allen Pearce (2/29 off 13) came on to bowl breaking the partnership with a sharp catch in slips to try to turn the tide back in Healesville’s favour.

With a bit of luck, fellow spinner Michael Davern (1/22 off 6) joined the attack with Pearce and managed to get a wicket with a rank waist high, full toss on the first ball of his spell, dismissing one of Lusatia’s dangerous batsman and Pearce getting his second wicket the game was in the balance at 6/115.

As a partnership was formed and the game just about gone still needing four wickets with 10 runs remaining, Healesville turned to debutant Tyler Braden (3/6 off 3) who when asked to attack off stump provided taking two wickets in his very first over and then another in his third over bowling beautifully, but unfortunately the fairy tale finish wasn’t meant to be with Lusatia Park taking on a fielder for a brave run passing Healesville with one wicket to spare.
