Home Hill’s young cricketers delivered another strong showing at the Nutrien Ag Solutions Cricket Complex, with solid performances across both the Blue and Gold groups.
In the Blue Group, tight bowling set the tone early. Fielders supported well, with run-outs to Mazlyn Smith and Royce Cohen. Batting proved difficult, with Kyle Wilkie the only player to register runs before being bowled by Cohen shortly after hitting a four. Mitchell Patti, Henry Cohen, and Jake Cullen all retired not out.
Cullen produced the standout bowling figures of the match, sending down two maidens and taking 1/0. Wilkie followed with 1/1, while Patti collected 1/5. For his patient batting and economical bowling, Mitchell Patti received the McDonald’s Sports Award.
In the Gold Group, Marshall Parker dominated with a commanding all-round display. Parker struck 31 not out, including four fours and a six, and claimed 2/2 with the ball. Oliver Calligaro added an important 19 runs with three fours to help secure the win.
Bowling contributions also came from Mark Wilkie (1/1), Ben Watkins (1/6), Xavier Cross (1/7) and Rylan Nicholaides (1/9). Parker’s efforts earned him the McDonald’s Sports Award, completing a strong weekend across both junior groups.
