Interesting fact: Australia has more snow per year than Switzerland and is home to the largest ski resort in the Southern hemisphere, appropriately named Perisher. I've played in many an April perisher over decades of cricket!

Zach's club completed a comfortable two day win over bottom side Officer having posted over 300 last week. The 132 run win lifted Packenham up to fifth and leaves Officer rock bottom without a single point to show for their opening six games. Zach's skills behind the stumps weren't called into anything other than routine action on the day as the visitors were dismissed for 177. Next week sees a trip to the coast to play Koo Wee Rup, an area that was reclaimed from the sea in the 1870s and initially inhabited by the indigenous Bunurong people. Koo Wee Rup are 3rd some 12 points ahead of Pakenham (12 points for a win).

For reasons unknown, Churchill's match details have not been uploaded so nothing to report on Jordy or Aussie Ryan at the moment.

Meanwhile, Sam found himself back in the 3rds after his excursion into Northern Suburbs 2nd grade last week and, in a low scoring game, tasted victory over Toorak Prahan CC, leapfrogging them into 3rd spot in the process. Northern Suburbs batted first with Sam occupying no.3 in the batting order and could only muster a disappointing 124 all out with Sam only contributing two, before losing his timbers. However, finding himself opening the bowling, Sam bowled a tidy six overs, taking 2-11 as the visitors succumbed to a miserable 65 all out. Northern Suburbs make the short journey to play Eastern Suburbs next weekend.
