Hog Bay v MacGillivray
Saturday was an absolutely picture perfect day for cricket at Penneshaw, magic weather and the oval looking a treat for the Razorbacks first home game of the season. After sending the Hawks into bat, the Razorbacks got straight down to business dismissing the two dangerous Bolto brothers early. Some super tight bowling then by all the Hog Bay bowlers and some outstanding work in the field had the young Hawks under pressure, at four for 70 at drinks.
Damon Weatherspoon held the innings together with an outstanding and patient 43, but the wickets continued to fall around him and the Razorbacks maintained the pressure to restrict the score to 9 for 145 off 45 overs. An outstanding team effort with the ball with seven bowlers sharing the wickets and some great work in the field.
In reply the Razorbacks got off to a flying start, racing to 51 in the seventh over before losing 3 quick wickets in the space of two overs to open the game up again.
Captain Ken then steadied for the Razorbacks and then when joined at the crease by Heater the two of them steered the Razorbacks home in quick time dominating the inexperienced Hawk attack to pile on the remaining 70 required in only 10 overs. The Razorbacks home with five wickets in hand and 21 overs to spare.
Well done Hog Bay and thanks to all the spectators that got down to the oval and enjoyed the day. The Razorbacks are at home again this weekend v Kingscote, so come and enjoy the afternoon.
Finally to all those cricketers out there not playing, get out there and help your clubs out, we all need it!
Parndana v Western Districts

Young players M Billett and J Gaskin both contributing well for their runs before Parndana were all out for 103. R Morris and P Johnson did the damage early both taking 3 wickets apiece. M Guerson and P Johnson started the run chase quickly, both scoring into the thirties before losing their wickets. R Morris and A Fogden steering Western Districts to an easy victory after facing only 21 overs.

Parndana V Western Districts
Wonks batting first under perfect conditions and a horror start with wickets on the first and sixth ball to Jesse Gaskin claiming the prized scalps of Anthony Anderson and Lucas Boyle. Some solid batting from Lloyd, Keenan and Harry in the middle of the innings were steadied by the man with plenty of spin - Sam Horjus, with Wonks getting to a competitive 8/88.
Parndana’s chase started shakily with Matt Kelly getting a brute of a ball from Lucas, before Sam and Jesse in great form supported by Darcy Clifford steadied the Ship. Miserly with the ball were Lachie Florance, Nick Hacker and Ty Boyle before Parndana reached the target with a few overs to spare. Good to see the youngsters having a great game!
Highlights of the match were catches by Rachelle May, Darcy, Tyson Barter and Tye with some tight bowling by Lucas, Sam, Nick and Robbie Huxtable with cracking batting from Jesse, Lloyd, Sam and Keenan.
Wisanger v Kingscote
It was a warm day at Wisanger and Kingscote were looking for their first win of the season.
Kingscote batted first with the top four batsmen, Laighton, Sam, Harry & Jack all retiring with Corey Munro (W) taking a good couple of wickets. Kingscote went on to make 141 runs.
Wisanger came in to bat with a solid partnership from Liam & Josh both retiring. Good knock by Jordan also retiring and Jake 7 (not out), with Wisanger passing Kingscote’s score to win the match. Consistent bowling by Mason Linke (K), 2/13.
Good game of cricket by both sides.
