CRICKET CAPTAIN’S REPORT

The Term 1 season of cricket at Pymble was one of excitement. The teams were enthused to play the season after the summer school holidays. Pymble entered two teams in the North Shore competition in the Under 15 Years and Under 13 Years categories. The terrible weather in Term 1 resulted in a few games being cancelled, including the Junior and Senior semi-finals which resulted in the Junior girls ending their season. The 2021 Under 13 season was defined by skill and a fantastic attitude towards the sport. We look forward to watching these girls develop their skills as they continue to play for Pymble. The Senior team was defeated by Castle Hill in the Plate Cup grand final, yet their efforts should be commended. Kara Lotter, Year 9, Annabel Maple-Brown, Year 11, Jasmine David, Year 12, and Victoria Marsh, Year 8, took spectacular wickets, and the players demonstrated an enthusiasm that was valuable to the team in terms of their batting and teamwork. Congratulations to the team for going up against skilled clubs and for a noticeable improvement during the season and their support of each other. Thank you to the coaches and parents for their support of Pymble Cricket. I am proud to have been the 2021 Captain of Cricket. Thank you to the parents for their contribution to volunteer their time to score or umpire or be present to support the girls. Thank you to the coaches for their continuous inspiration and motivation for the teams to strive for the highest. The skill development that both the Junior and Senior girls demonstrated during the season was impressive. An incremental number of wickets was taken each game and the accuracy and pace of bowling improved significantly. The future of Pymble Cricket is one of excitement as we look to expand and draw attention to the achievements of women in their cricketing careers.
