LISMORE U12 CRICKET CARNIVAL The Carnival Must Go On

DANIEL COHEN

The Lismore U12 Cricket Carnival was held last week, and was a huge success despite the trying conditions. The Carnival is a collaboration between the Northern Rivers Junior Cricket

League (NRJCL), and the Marist Brothers

Lismore Cricket Club.

It was the 38th running of the popular junior representative cricket tournament, which makes a return after it was abandoned in 2021 due to COVID restrictions.

A total of 18 teams travelled to the Northern Rivers to compete, from as far south as

Illawarra, Sydney, Tamworth, Armidale, and from regions all the way up the north coast from the Central Coast and Newcastle.

With over 250 participants and their

families coming to our region, the carnival can only be described as a boon for the region - both in a sporting and economic sense.

While the Carnival is the major fundraiser of the Marist Brothers Lismore CC, it could not exist without the hundreds of volunteer hours put in by locals making sandwiches for the daily lunches, prepare pitches, staff the canteens and run errands. It was a mighty effort from

all involved.

But it wouldn’t be a carnival without dramas, and while a number of players and organisers went into self-imposed mini-lockdowns in the days prior, it was the weather that threatened the running of the tournament.

When thick overcast skies blanketed Lismore on the opening morning, the traditional team photos at Oakes Oval were forced indoors, to the auditorium of the Lismore Workers Club.

This set the tone, and as teams scattered to local venues for their opening matches the heavens opened, with the persistent drizzle resulting in all Lismorebased matches being

abandoned on the opening morning.

Meanwhile up the highway In Casino it was another story, barely registering a couple of millimetres in the gauge.

Carnival organisers hastily rang in the changes, and with the help of the Richmond Valley

Council’s prompt were prepared for play at both QE Park and Jubilee

Park.

As a result teams could play at least two of their initial 4 scheduled 25over pool matches of competition. Teams would advance to a

Semi-Final, however every team was scheduled matches for each of the four days despite their early results.

Local cricket was well represented, with three teams representing the Far North Coast

Cricket Academy, which draws junior cricketers from Casino through to the Tweed and exposing them to representative cricket.

The Far North Coast “Thunder” advanced to the Semi’s thanks to wins over Penrith and

Maitland in their opening two matches.

The FNC Thunder played the highly fancied Manly-Warringah team from Sydney, and while the boys battled bravely, the visitors were too

strong and advanced to

District Cricket overcame a gallant Illawarra in the other Semi to set up a rematch of the (in 2020).

As with much of the carnival, Friday’s Final was moved to Casino’s QE Park #2, away from the rain-soaked Oakes Oval. It was another 45 over match for the Final, and a chance for redemption for ManlyWarringah.

In the Final, Manly won Seemingly in trouble at 9/90, an partnership took the score to an imposing 115. It was too much for

Parramatta, whose middle order crumbled on the way to being bowled out for 59.

It was sweet revenge for the Manly-Warringah Cricket Association, who brought a highly skilled squad of impressive youngsters to the tournament.

All other teams played 30 over matches on the

3rd place playoff between the FNC Thunder and Illawarra.

Sadly it was heartbreak for the local FNC Thunder, going down in a nailbiter. Set an even 100 for victory, the visitors reached the score with 1 wicket and 4 balls to spare.

It was a gallant performance for the Thunder, who only managed a single training session prior to the carnival.

The competition is seen as a development milestone for young cricketers, exposing them to match situations including playing on turf wickets, and lengthy limited overs matches.
