Newcastle wins 3 junior cricket carnivals

Under 11 Ron Arendts Carnival: Over 4 days, 10 teams played the carnival with Newcastle DCA winning a couple of very tight games, including the final against a very competitive Central Coast.

Newcastle held Central Coast to 110 in 38 overs, and when batting achieved victory with 8 wickets down with a couple of overs to spare. Based on the player batting and bowling stats for the Carnival, this win was truly based on a team performance with runs and wickets shared. Newcastle’s Daniel Chillingworth was awarded Player of the Carnival.

Special mention should be made of the Newcastle Presidents who also won 2 games. For both teams their introduction to representative cricket this season has not been an easy path and both showed in the carnival the huge steps they have made.

 Under 15 Hunter Valley Carnival: This carnival was played at Raymond Terrace with the final between Newcastle and Central Coast.

The Newcastle team won the match, providing the Central Coast team with its first loss in about 5 seasons.
Central Coast batted first and their powerful batting line up was held by some very good bowling to a total of 165. Callum Single bowled very well, in particular closing out the Central Coast innings in the late overs. Newcastle started its innings a bit slowly but without losing a wicket early. Then came an outstanding partnership, in very hot conditions, between Ben Evans and Rhys Hanlon to set up the Newcastle push to victory.

At the presentation, Callum Single won the bowling award for most wickets in the carnival, and Ben Evans emerged with his wily leg spinners to take the bowling averages award. A special mention for Ben who took 8 wickets in an innings on the Wednesday. Jarrod Single helped out with fielding through the first 2 days.

Newcastle also won the under 14 Graeme Malcolm Carnival. To follow news, draws and results for Newcastle junior cricket go to: http://www.newcric.org.au/home.aspx?
