17’s – lost 12-33. 

14 B’s – lost 12-16.

Junior B’s – lost 8-60. Overall, did not go well. The other team played a brilliant game, with excellent precision.

CRICKET 

1st XI – lost 10/126 after 44.3 overs against St Augustine’s 7/235 after 50 overs

On Saturday, the Chevalier First XI welcomed St Augustine’s College from the Northern Beaches to the Main Oval for what would prove to be a sweltering summer’s day of cricket. Unfortunately, we lost the toss for the fourth time in a row, and the Augustinians happily took first use of the wicket.

An early run out and some good bowling from Hugh W (1/36) had us right in the fight at the first drinks break but some smart batting from the St Augustine’s middle order quickly turned the tide in their favour. As the temperature gauge tipped past 31 degrees celsius and the ball wasn’t moving laterally much off the surface or in the air, the energy levels were hard to maintain, and the opposition amassed an impressive total whilst taking little risk in the process. Some good death bowling from Louie K (2/15) and a direct hit run out from Harry M managed to claw some momentum back for the Chevalier boys at the change of innings but 235 was always going to be difficult to chase down.

Another promising start from Josh M (23) and Harry M (9) offered some hope when the score read 0/31 after 5 overs. However, after both the openers were dismissed, wickets continued to fall at regular intervals and the scoring was restricted by some good fielding. Ed K (21) batted well at number 3 but contributions from Henry M (19) and George L (17) were unfortunately not going to be enough this week. Sam C (15) also contributed some slashing square drives to keep the Augustine’s boys out in the field for some time/ The pleasing thing, was that at no point did the side throw in the towel and give up and the side wasn’t dismissed entirely until the 45th over of the innings.

Both sides are to be commended for the respectful manner in which they engaged in the Remembrance Day service at 11:00am and my thanks goes to George L for his leadership in this event.

The side is at home again next week and we would love to have as many supporters in attendance as possible for Back to Chev Weekend! See you there!
