PG's - Manly 2/146 def Sutherland 141 with 1 bonus point


Capt'n Mitch Cleary playing his last PG's game was sent off in true style by our boys. Under dark skies Manly bowled and fielded with energy to limited Sutherland to 141 all out in 45 overs. Jimmy Munting 3/27 and Pat Darwen 3/41 were the pick of the bowlers while Luke Edgell, Mitch, Courie Boss and Peter Lindsay kept the runs to a minimum. Some classic catches by Scott Patterson and Jack Ritchie topped off a great effort in the field.

In reply Mitch and Marcus Hainsworth were dominant, moving things along to 0/78 when Mitch (39) was run out in a close one. Marcus eventually fell for 59, but by then we were coasting. Luke Edgell and Pat Darwen wrapped things up in the 33rd over to take the win and a bonus pont.

Our boys finnished 7th on the table with a washout in the first round that put us behind from day 1.

Mitch did an outstanding job as Captain and this was refelected in the attitude of the players, always giving 100%, and even winning when is was not thought possible. Congratulations Mitch on a job well done.

It should not pass without mention the outstanding job Dollars does as scorer for the team. He is always ready to back up and score on Sundays after scoring all Saturday. He was doing it tough yesterday but was there to the end. We all appreciate what you do for the club Dollars.

2006/2007 PG's Team; Mitch Cleary (c), Marcus Hainsworth (wk), Luke Edgell, Pat Darwen, Jack Ritchie, Scott Patterson, Courie Boss, James Munting, Jackson Bird, Peter Lindsay, Murray Ferguson, Lucas Frazer.
