My lad plays U14's for a district club and we needed about 80 in the last 10 overs when he went in. Personally, I gave us no hope as I'd never seen more than 40 hit in the 10 overs in this grade. Anyway, he scored 38 off 27 to help guide his team to a victory. He hit the biggest six I've seen in this grade, hitting the roof of the nearby shed on the full - which would be at least a 65 meter hit (on a 47/48 meter boundary oval). Two sixes, two fours and unluckily run out off a dropped catch by the bowler 7 runs away from victory. The boys got us home in a thriller with 1 ball to spare.
Well done mate, very proud of your efforts.

How good!
You can't beat experiences like that in sport imho. There's something about cricket, with your team mates on the sidelines riding every bump and cheering every run that's so rewarding. Checking the scores every 5 seconds, drawn out tension, next batter in with butterflies.
Nice to finish the season on a high

I can't recall that at any level of grade cricket
Brutal
Feel for the players and coaches. Must be at a bit of a low ebb.

Not sure how it works but there must be some other sides making up Div 2

Maybe lack of numbers with Trent Kelly having to don the creams on again.

No, nothing sinister here, just a perfect storm of players in the Redbacks, English players returning home, injuries, players having to play college cricket, work unavailabilities and the usual fill-ins not being available for various reasons (eg- an army reserve exercise on the weekend took out a reliable fill-in). First time I can remember having to forfeit a senior side in at least 15 years. Believe me, every avenue was tried to get a side up!
