U12 Lightning away v Coolum. Sent in to bat on a hot and still morning, Coolum went to work and made the most of a dry outfield runs coming with ease. Eventually a run out, a solid outfield catch by Bailey and a classic caught and bowled by Ollie gave some hope to restricting a big total, but Coolum went on to reach 230. A shaky start with 2 early wickets was well countered by Piyush, Toby and Bailey. The game was in the balance at drinks, but Coolum’s tight bowling paid off, holding onto some great catches, TNT all out soon after.
U12 Storm v Palmwoods, at home. In the heat TNT set a blistering target of 233 for Palmwoods. Aedan, Max, Riley and Hamish all not out. Congratulations Aedan (67) and Max (58) on scoring their well deserved half centuries. TNT took to the field and within the first 3 overs had taken 2 wickets and a run-out. TNT continued to restrict Palmwoods seeing them all out for 40 runs by the 13th over, Daniel 2/4, Riley 1/0, and Aedan 1/5.
U13 Lightning away v Yandina. TNT won the toss and put Yandina in to bat on a damp field. A great start by TNT’s opening bowlers kept Yandina at bay, but strong batting set them up to finish 4/204, Tom Longhurst 1/15, Cohyn North 1/16, George Scott 0/6. Going in to chase Yandina’s big score, Luke Sheppard (52) and George (47) partnered up in the middle and played some aggressive cricket, with 21 off one over, and TNT level-pegging at the half-way mark. Despite the team effort, Yandina kept taking wickets, TNT final score 8/141.
U15’s v Caloundra at home, in a one day game with both sides fighting for spots in the top 4. TNT were sent into bat and compiled 9/100 after 25 overs on a tricky pitch that had some life for the fast bowlers, Ben White 20, Dan Connell made a cavalier 14. Some tight bowling and 3 great run outs from TNT had Caloundra always behind the run rate to finish at 6/84, a wicket each to Sam O’Neill, Alex Keys, and Seamus McDermott.
