The Hibiscus Coast Cricket Club’s premier men’s team made a positive start to the season, with one close loss (vs Ellerslie), followed by a solid win vs Papatoetoe.
Coast dismissed Papatoetoe for 114 at the November 11 game and comfortably met that target mid-way through its innings.
Premier captain Tony Treadaway says highlights for the Coast team in that game included a five-wicket bag for bowler Zylen Thomas, 50 runs for Ramesh Lakmal and David Miller’s quick-fire 48 runs off 27 balls. All-rounder Tony made 31 runs and took two wickets.
Club manager, Gair McSkimming, says the club is excited about its girls’ programme this season, with training underway in the hope of entering competition proper in Term 1 next year.
The next home games, at Victor Eaves Reserve in Ōrewa, are 50-over matches on December 2, 9 and 16. These will see the return of Max O’Dowd, who was away opening the batting for The Netherlands at the Men’s World Cup in India.
