Match Reports

A1 Grade

WPHC Red (Cam) drew with Berowra White

Playing the Berowra A2 side at Parklands Oval the game was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

A2 Grade

WPHC Blue (Campbell) drew with Berowra Maroon

A combined A grade comp, with only 9 available (one being a 14 year-old) and our first game against Berowra A1’s at Berowra. It was looking like a difficult challenge ahead, but the boys were in good spirits and ready to have a crack.

Arriving at the ground, a pitch which resembled mud and incoming rain meant both captains pretty quickly agreed we’d have no chance of any cricket and might as well go watch the AFL grand final (standing in the rain for 5 hours at Berowra would’ve been more enjoyable for Swans fans though).

The match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. We look forward to next week and hopefully playing some cricket.

D1 Grade

WPHC Blue (Arun) 1/16 drew with St Ives

La Nina 1 – 0 WPHC

After all the speculations around the weather over the last few days to kick off season 2022-23, the D1 Blues planned a well-deserved family outing up north at Northholm Grammar. The ground looked a bit damp upon arrival however was definitely playable, considering this same team played in worse conditions in Arcadia last season.

St Ives on the other hand were keen to call it even before a ball was bowled and go enjoy the AFL, however after a few exchanges decided to take us on.

Arun and Amith opened the batting and the paid looked solid till Arun fell for 10 with 16 on the board for 3.3 overs just before the heavens opened up and we had to call it quits.

Not the start anyone was hoping for so hopefully we have a full game next week.
