With all the doom and gloom regarding the As and Bs and the one day side there has been a silver lining to the Farms season. For those that dont know the the U/15s were sent into bat on what would have been considered a hard and fast wicket (mistake #1). Then to laugh and snigger at a 4ft high lad opening the bat (mistake #2), made 28 and batted till the 25th over in a one dayer. Zac McGahey retired 17no after facing 45 balls in the 28th over batting at 4, only 3 down. Wade Matthews 23 from 24 balls at 6 ,Sam Ciapinna put a ball on the roof at Tregenza Oval and made a valuable 11, Ethan Sandery 10 off 11 and Sam Loy put a ball into orbit on the second last ball to finish with 7 from 7. Total of 132 for 5 from 36 overs. Enter Eastern Suburbs previously undefeated, 0 for 31, on comes Pete Ahern (the 4 foot high lad), just turned 12 and takes 2 wickets in his first over to back up Zac,s first wicket in the previous over,in the space of 4 overs they are now 5 for 43 with a 450 run man for the year out for 2. What a finish with the crowd pumped for the young Farmer side on the edge of their seats with the possibility of the unthinkable happening but only by those outside of the inner sanctum. Jai Noble nailed the finish with their last recognized batsman spooning a slower ball to short cover, then to follow in the next over with the same ball going to the same fielder. Game over you little legends. Happy days.
