>>Harold Fraser Park was the setting for the final of
>the
>>Brewer Shield where a confident St George team took on
>>Balmain after wiping the floor with them the previous
>>week.
>>This week would be a totally different matter as
>>Balmain came out fired up and ready to play.
>>St George won the toss and elected to bowl on a damp
>>wicket.
>>This initially proved a good tactic as Rene Farrell
>>and Sara
>>Aley had very little runs taken from their bowling and
>>Sara
>>picked up two early wickets. Patrice Callaghan and
>>Samantha
>>Han then bowled good spells each taking wickets and
>>keeping
>>the run rate down, UNTIL… Kirsty Riley for Balmain
>>came to
>>the wicket and went on a run-scoring spree that
>>threatened
>>to ruin our chances of victory. On 26 , and looking
>>very
>>dangerous she hit a Sohryn Carter delivery like a
>>tracer
>>bullet to Emily Nash at Mid on who took a great catch
>>that
>>turned the match back our way. Balmain then cruised to
>>7 /64
>>from their allotted 30 overs. A score that was still
>>going
>>to be hard to chase on this wicket.
>>
>>Aimee Harris and Samantha Han opened the batting and
>>moved
>>along slowly and carefully until Samantha was
>>brilliantly
>>caught at short mid on by Sara O’Rourke. Aimee Harris
>>departed a short time later for a well made 6 which
>>brought
>>Rene Farrell to the crease. Rene and Katherine Koschel
>>batted steadily until Katherine was dismissed for 6.
>>Sara
>>Aley then joined Rene and it seemed it was up to the
>>captain
>>and vice captain to bat us out of trouble. Sara had
>>made 5
>>and looked great until she was caught at point by
>>Alison
>>Parkin. The ball seemed past her but she somehow got a
>>finger to it and knocked it up to take a catch that
>>really
>>sparked the Balmain girls.
>>Patrice Callaghan joined Rene and after a few swings
>>and
>>misses started to see the ball well and these two
>>girls got
>>us to 60 when Kirsty Riley bowled a slower delivery
>and
>>caught Rene on the pads in front. We were now 6 for
>>60. We
>>needed 5 to win with 4 overs to go. The crowd was
>>cheering
>>every delivery and the scorers were nervously adding
>>the
>>book to ensure no mistakes were made.
>>Patrice attempted to hit her way out of trouble and
>>fell for
>>12. We were now 7 for 60. Sohryn Carter confidently
>>strolled
>>to the wicket but she was out for 0 to another great
>>delivery from Kirsty Riley.
>>With Clare Crewdson and Lisa Maurice at the crease and
>>still
>>5 runs to go, Balmain bowled a couple of wides leaving
>>us 3
>>to win.
>>Clare hit a ball to mid wicket and the girls took off
>>on a
>>suicide single. They made it! One to tie, two to win.
>>Lisa hits the ball to point and Alison Parkin takes
>>another
>>catch. Amy Pratt comes to the crease and survives the
>>last
>>few deliveries of the 2nd last over.
>>Amy Wark is given the task of bowling the last over
>for
>>Balmain. Clare punches the ball past square leg and
>the
>>girls run like the wind. Scores are tied.
>>Amy Pratt is then bowled and scores are still tied.
>>Amy Crewdson joins her twin sister at the creasefor
>>the last
>>few balls. Amy swings and misses twice and is finally
>>bowled
>>on the last ball. Scores are tied and thankfully St
>>George
>>win the game as they were minor premiers. Whew!!!!!
>>
>>Final details were:
>>Balmain 7/64 tied with St George 10/64
>>Bowling figures:
>>Rene Farrell 0-8, Sara Aley 2-11, Aimee Harris 1-1,
>>Clare
>>Crewdson 0-14, Patrice Callaghan 2-12, Sohryn Carter
>>1-4.
>>Catches were taken by Sara Aley, Amy (Crocodile)
>Pratt,
>>Emily Nash and Katherine Koschel.
>>
>>Batting results were:
>>Samantha Han 1, Aimee Harris 6, Katherine Koschel 6,
>>Rene
>>Farrell 22, Sara Aley 5,
>>Clare Crewdson 2
>>
>>Thanks to all players, parents and officials who
>>participated in the 2000/2001 Brewer Shield. I, as a
>>parent was very impressed with the standard of the
>>competition and the demeanour of everyone involved. We
>>made some great new friends and hope to see you all
>>again next year.
>>
>>Also, Kirsty Riley from Balmain- Best wishes for your
>>upcoming tour to the UK. Hit it hard (the ball that
>>is).
