Delatite U16s celebrate a win at Whorouly

Delatite CC 2/75 defeated Ovens Valley United CC 32 WITH the wild weather on Friday night, no one was too sure whether there would be any cricket played this weekend, but thankfully the ground at Whorouly was in pretty good shape. Delatite captain Nick Hoskin won the toss and sent Ovens in to bat on what looked like a tricky wicket. This decision paid off immediately when Cooper Martin hit the stumps in the first over of the day. Martin destroyed the opposition's top order, taking 3/6 from his three overs. Not to be outdone, Cooper's younger brother Nixen came into the attack and took a wicket with his first ball, and then another two in his third over to finish with figures of 3/1. Not a bad effort from the Martin boys! Will Benton then came on and also took a wicket with his first ball, and another in the next over to keep the foot on the throat of the opposition. Josh Cook snagged the final wicket to finish the Ovens innings on 32. A wonderful effort with the ball, highlighted by only two extras for the innings, a high percentage of balls bowled that were on the stumps and a couple of great catches by Darcy McSweeney in the slips. The run chase stated perfectly, with Max O'Loughlan and Koby Middleton controlling the situation and scoring freely. They continued their fine form as an opening pair and managed to pass the target without losing a wicket. O'Loughlan top scored with 25 not out, with Nick Hoskin chipping in with 18 not out at the end. Finally we have seen some reward for all of the hard work at training, the boys putting in an excellent effort to come away with a convincing win.
