LAST weekend saw the Northam Cricket Association open the season with our first under lights Riverside T20 competition.
The first game was between the Bakers Hill Dozen and the Don’t Block Baby teams. Believe me when I say there were some big sixes hit.
The young fellas came away with a great win for their first game in the season. It was great to see the teams wearing bright colours and enjoying the new competition.
The Grass Valley Hoppers hosted Robo’s Roos at Bert Hawke on the Saturday afternoon, which was a fine sunny day on the turf, all teams decked out in colours once again but the premiers were too good for the Roos boys and had a convincing win.
Following that game the Toodyay Snakes took on Balladong Bombers over at Henry Street under lights but were defeated by one persons score alone. Hopefully the boys can bounce back for the next game.
Well done to all players for a successful start to the Riverside T20 comp, be sure to check The Avon Valley Advocate for the fixture page to place on your fridge and be sure to come watch a few games.
Well done to all players for a successful start to the Riverside T20 Comp...
