Congratulations to the Sydney Coastal Stingers under 14s on winning a thrilling Grand Final in the Sydney Junior Winter Cricket Association - Eastern Suburbs competition held at Moore Park today. After 2 previous losses to the Hurricanes, the boys found a way to win chasing 120 runs from a rain reduced 19 overs.
After the Hurricanes won the toss and elected to bat in wet, slippery conditions; Boyd H took the only wicket for the Stingers with the last ball of the innings-1/120. Call out to Nikolai H and James P who were our most economical bowlers limiting the run rate of the opposition.
In the run chase Pamu S. was dismissed early LBW for 8 runs; however Ben K’s 68 runs off 48 balls, and James P’s 45 runs off 48 balls, both not out; proved the match winning partnership. They showed great cricket temperament, combining concentration, good running between the wickets and match awareness to complete victory in the 17th over with 2 overs to spare. Well done boys! #CoastalSpirit
