Welcome

Interesting Fact: Australia is home to the world's longest golf course. The Nullarbor Links spans a whopping 848 miles from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Ceduna in South Australia. The course consists of 18 holes, with each one located in a different town along the 1000+mile long Eyre Highway.

With Churchill having a day off on Saturday, Zach's Pakenham CC embarked on a two day game that will conclude next week and, after winning the toss, found themselves chasing leather as visitors Tooradin piled up 288 all out in just over 78 overs, Zach weighed in with a couple of catches,including the unfortunate Praveen Perera just two short of a century. In the first meeting in October, Tooradin had amassed 276 runs which proved to be 57 too many for Pakenham, so they will be hoping for better luck next week.

Sam's title ambitions took a tumble as NorthernSuburbs went down narrowly to neighbours Eastern Suburbs who leapfrogged them in the table, the eight run victory being revenge for their defeat back in December. Sam bowled eight wicketless overs for 41, took a catch and scored just two runs on a day to forget in his side's penultimate match of the season.

As anticipated, the two day game in New Zealand between Caleb Donaldson's Heathcote CC and Finlay's Riccarton, ended in yet another defeat for Fin's unfortunate bottom placed club. Riccarton added to their 1st inning total of 121 with 147 in the second with Fin stumped for just 5 runs. Heathcote knocked off the required 64 runs for the loss of three wickets with Caleb top scoring with 25 to follow up his 84 in last week's first innings, hopefully warming up nicely for his Clifton debut at Roe Green in seven short weeks. Fin was wicketless, conceding 17 runs in his four over spell. That leaves Riccarton with just one win all season and two games to go to make some amends.
