** 1ST XI WIN 1ST GRADE ONE DAY GRAND FINAL **
** Sunday, 25 February 2024 **
After being runners up last year, the 1st XI have made amends and taken out the 2023/24 1st Grade One Day Grand Final.
Winning the toss and opting to bowl first, Bentley managed to post a competitive 161 off 39.5 overs. At one stage they were 7/98 and looking down the barrel of defending a low score. Jamie Rudrum 3/33, Ben Panter 2/28 and Gaurav Tiwari 2/29 the pick of the bowlers.
It wasn't a good start with the run chase losing two early wickets and being 2/3. Alex Chao (45) and Heshan Perera (36) steadied the ship and swung things our way. 2 more quick wickets in succession followed but in came Jamie Rudrum (39no) and Captain Jerra Smith (27) to put us on the right path. Jamie making sure of it in the end and taking the Man of the Match award with his 39no & 3/33.
Congratulations to all and thanks for everyone who came down to support the boys. We certainly outnumbered their supporters on their home ground. 👏👏🎉🐾

Vale - Annette Simons
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Life Member Annette Simons, who left us yesterday after a prolonged battle with illness. 😢
A Mother figure to many, Nettie was an integral part of our Club. She served as the 1st XI Official Team Scorer for many years and held the position of Club Treasurer during the 1997/98 to 2000/01 seasons, and again in 2004/05 and 2007/08. Nettie was also honoured as the Best Club Person for the 2007/08 season.
Our Club would not be what it is today without her contributions.
We extend our deepest condolences to her husband Dougie and her family.
RIP Nettie 💔
