Adil Ali 5/10 off 12 overs the star and well supported by Aussie Coghill with 2/23 on debut and Evan Lindsay and Brett Haw each picking up a wicket. In reply the Gully are at 4/59 and against a good pace attack will need to dig in to get past the score.

Ben Hancock 4/27 and Noah Hadden 2/15 ripping through their batting order. At 5/72 in reply the Gully were looking shaky. Noah Hadden with n consecutive unbeaten half centuries making 66 and well-supported by Jake Medhurst 16 not out putting on a 64-run match winning partnership.

• The Under 12 Division 2 game was also a rain affected draw. The President watching this game. Maiden Gully was bowled out for 62 with Jack Johns 13 getting into double figures. White Hills were 0/17 in reply when rain halted play for the morning. The President was very impressed with the enthusiasm and also the bowling action of Zoe Dixon who looks like a star in the making.

Firstly, is a look at the scores and some of the performers with the stats in these games:

Each week we will be doing a team of the week for the club. Note the junior scores and their restricted number of balls faced and overs is taken into consideration when picking the team of the week. Wash outs and teams not playing resulted in lots of bowling and not as much batting. Star of the week would have to be Noah Hadden.
