OCGA Annual Cricket Friendly at Suma Park

The OCGA Cricket Friendly against the Suma Park Bellarinas was played on Sunday 15 March 2020.

Beautiful weather greeted the players for our 25th annual cricket match at Suma Park on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Due to the impending COVID-19 lockdown, two of our star players were forced to withdraw at the last minute. However, with the help of Anthony Webb’s son James Webb (Year 7) we were able to field a full side.

The game was competitive but in the end the Bellarinas fell in by one run with one ball to spare. It was a great game of cricket, played in great spirit and no doubt some of our ageing players would have experienced some pain the next day.

Our batting stars were Rohan Pike (1982), Anthony Webb (1992) and Richard Jones (1982). Anthony Webb had a great match and together with young James took four wickets between them.

The game was competitive but in the end the Bellarinas fell in by one run .

Yet again a wonderful lunch accompanied by the odd wine or two made for a great day of energy sapping enjoyment.
