Cricket - Shalom Intermediate Teams

On Monday 27 May the Shalom Intermediate cricket team travelled down to Maryborough to play Urangan SHS in the final of the Wide Bay T20 Knockout competition. After a delightful hour and a half of listening to the girl’s cricket teams sing Karaoke (badly) from the back of the bus we arrived just in time to warm up and be ready.

Intermediate Boys

The toss was won by the Shalom Captain Cale A and he chose to bat on what looked like a wicket that would dry out and be hard to bat on later in the day.

Opening Batters Corin D and Tom D put on a good start of 26 runs from 4 overs, unfortunately a slip in communication saw Corin run out on 18 runs off 11 balls. This brought the captain Cale to the crease. Cale and Tom batted brilliantly for the rest of the innings. With Tom bringing up a perfectly played Century in the second last over in the game and Cale scored his 50 with a 4 from the last ball of the innings, to have a final score of 196. Tom finished with 105 off 74 balls and Cale 50 off 42 balls.

In response Urangan SHS struggled to get a hold of the game with the required run rate edging above 18 runs needs per over by the 9 overs. All of Shalom boys bowled and fielded well. With wickets taken by James C, Harry E, Ashton L, Zac H and 2 wickets from Tanner M. In the end Urangan could only manage to be all out for 115 off their 20 overs.

The Shalom boys will now travel down to Brisbane to contest the semi finals later in the year.

Intermediate Girls

The Shalom Intermediate Girls also had a successful day.

The team consisted of Year 7, 8 and 9 girls of varying cricket experience and ability. Shalom scored an impressive 146 from their 20 overs batting, followed by some beautiful bowling to limit the Urangan team to just 87 and take home the win.

Congratulations to the girls. We had a great day playing cricket, with lots of singing and dancing also!
