Congratulations to 5th grade and 8th grade who won their respective Grand Finals a couple of weeks ago and secured flags number three and four for ORCC this season.

5′s won the toss and batted and racked up 215 on a fairly difficult Charles Veryard Reserve pitch against Whitfords. The first three sessions were fairly slow going before Callum Rudrum let loose in the final session, top scoring with 56. Ash Mortimer provide good support with 44 while Scott Gibson scored 30 runs opening the innings. 215 was a reasonable score but Lee Paxman’s team knew they would have to bowl well to a pretty solid Whitfords top order. On day two, Ridge had Whitfords in big trouble, with Geoff Smith taking the first four wickets pretty cheaply. A brief amount of resistence took place before Jeremy Jury ran through the middle and lower order to skittle Whitfords for only 71 shorly before tea. Jezza finished with figures of 5/19 with Smithy taking 4/24. Judgey was adjudged Man of the Match for his 5/19 and also 12 runs with the bat.

A fantastic effort by 5′s to comprehensively beat Whitfords who had a very strong 5′s team. Our 5′s have been great all season and capped off a fantastic year by taking out the flag.

 

In 8′s, Ocean Ridge also won the toss and batted against Doubleview-Carine at McLean Park, scoring 184 before being bowled out. Craig Smith top scored with 55 runs, Matt Vickers scored 32 with Chris Johnstone chiming in with a brisk 28 opening the innings. The Sharks then had enough time to bowl two overs at Doubleview-Carine, having them 0/0 at stumps. However, that soon changed as Callum Lloyd-Watters took two early wickets to have the Bulldogs in trouble at 2/10. A long partnership then formed as Doubleview got themselves back into the contest and had moved steadily but slowly to 2/75 at tea needing 110 off the last 30 overs. Callum came back into the attack and had success straight away claiming another two wickets to put the game in the balance again. Luke Pummell was then brought back into the attack and sliced through the middle and lower order as the Dogs lost their last 8 wickets for only 33 runs. Pummell picked up another five wicket haul, this time taking 5/21 while Callum finished with 4/28. In the end Doubleview-Carine could only muster 119 in reply with Ridge winning quite easily in the end.

A great finish to the season by 8′s who also won the one-day final as well effectively taking out “the double” for the grade. They also finished on top of the ladder too as did 5′s. It was also good to see the support at the end for 8′s with about 60 people on the hill cheering the guys on at the end when they needed it. It was awesome to see and I believe it certainly helped on the day.

A superb finish to the season with the club getting four flags for the season. Hopefully the other grades who had less than successful seasons can be right up there next season and hopefully capture some premierships of their own.

Go Sharks!!
