State titles nod for Shinae, Riley

By RICHARD MURRIHY

TO BEGIN this week’s report, let’s start with the exciting news that Shinae and Riley have been selected to play for Queensland at next year’s state titles in January. Congratualtions guys!
Another week and the Noosa teams all gave their best at Caboolture and saw the Under 15s play the Cavaliers. After taking the early lead, they hung on for a 6-5 victory, Shinae, Dylan and Callum all pitched while Shinai caught a centre field fly. Riley and Charles both got home twice while Jacob and Shinai got home once each.
The game saw six errors in the field, and I saw training Sunday. This hopefully will improve next week. The Under 17s had mixed fortunes with the White’s losing to Cav’s while the Blacks had a 16-7 win against the Demons. Jarred hit two 3 baggers and advanced 10 base runners, while Emma advanced 9 runners. In the men’s, we lost to Cavs 11-4 – not a bad result with all the juniors playing. Pat took two catches and Riley picked up one. Meanwhile, Waz and the crew had two games at Noosa in the mixed seniors and both games were played in good spirits as some of the players use this as a training session for the Qld Masters in August.
