3RD GRADE - PREMIERS 2008/2009

Congratulations to Thommo and his team - 2008/09 3rd Grade Premiers!!

For those that didn't get a chance to get down to the game, Norths bowled first and saw ANU make 8/290 in more than 110 overs.

Carpy and Tommy Rowe took 2 each and the other wickets were shared around. Everyone trucked hard on a very flat track against some negative batting.

After ANU declared overnight, yesterday we saw some of the best Grand Final batting seen at KT Park.

Brock Winkler and Tom Rowe put on 50 for the first wicket, before Jase McNamara and Brock put on 150+ for the second.

Jase was out just after tea for 57 and Brock went on to make a fantastic 146.

Thommo and Liam kept the momentum going with 30-odds not out each to see us home by 7 wickets.

Well played to all the boys!!

Movember has ended, with the mighty Northies raising a whopping $967.69!

Steve "Google" Moore;
Chris "Cabbage" Tournier;
Allan "Not Small" Hall;
Steve "Clarrie" Grimmett;
Ryan "Shizzle" Bissell;
Sam "Rooooooons" Rooney;
Seb "Iceman" Blaszczyk;
Brendan "Closer B" Eichholzer;
