Under 16 Blue 4/134 def Banyule 3/94

A very tidy bowling performance by all kept Banyule under control for most of the innings with opening bowlers Noah Gleeson (2/12) and Nick Brennan (1/15) leading the way superbly. With the bat it was again the opening partnership setting up our score with Aaron Rae was out for a quick fire 10 and Miles Coates batted extremely well before retiring when he made his 50. Brayden Neilsen (38) then provided some entertaining hitting at the end.

Dylan Kirby (2/0 off 3) and Adam Hillman (3/17) bowled magnificently with support from Jake Bohan (1/3), Aidan Ganter (1/14), Liam Hannam (1/19), Alex Gibbs (1/15) and Will Ryan (1/0).
