Under 16s, Round 6, Deepdene Uniting v Canterbury, 30/11/07 and 7/12/07 The story of the first day of round 6 was that we lost early wickets cheaply followed by a scoring lull in the upper middle order, then a partnership by Jack and Billy of 32 and an individual score by Jack of 45 giving [...]

After five rounds the under 16 team is undefeated having played three one day games and a couple of two day games. Our latest result was a 22 run victory over Deepdene Bears at Leigh Park. Having won the toss, Uniting batted first and after the last ball was bowled in fading light the board [...]

Perhaps after three easy victories and winning the toss for the fourth consecutive time the players were too comfortable because at the close of Uniting’s innings the score was all out for 104 from 31 overs, a modest score even though we had only ten players. We lost 4 of our 9 wickets to catches, [...]

Deepdene Uniting 3/228 def Ashburton Willows 6/227 A familiar headline: Menz and Hocking do the business! No, not Pete and Neill or Ian or whoever — CJ and Roo put together an opening stand of 143 to set up a fine run chase at Ferndale Park.

DUCC 3 / 142 defeated Ashburton Willows 136 First win of the year for the 3rds, and with a bye next game it couldn’t have been a better outcome. Contributions from everyone made the difference, with the job not being left to one or two.

DUCC 8 / 140 lost to St Barnabas 1 / 145 Despite again being undermanned, with a number of our players covering a shortage in the 2nds, our overall performance was again sub-standard against a relatively weak opposition. Having won the toss and batted, we moved to a comfortable 1 / 74 off 22 overs, [...]

DUCC 92 lost to STC 197 Burnham 32* L Franklin 15 D Marshall 10 Worst performance of the year with few redeeming aspects. From  0/24 to all out 92 was a disaster. Best to forget about it and move on to next week.

In our second week in B grade we had an even more convincing win, this time over the Deepdene Bears. Played in terrible conditions at Hays Paddock – the vicious north wind was full of dust and grit – the final score was Deepdene Uniting 5 for 181 defeated the Deepdene Bears all out for [...]

After our convincing win over Clifton Hill in C grade, the team was promoted to B grade where we enjoyed an even more comfortable win over Box Hill. The score was Deepdene Uniting 7 for 119 d Box Hill all out for 68. Winning the toss and batting first captain Matt Lincoln smacked a commanding [...]

DUCC 0 / 23 v STC South Camberwell 197 First day of our first 2 day game, and strong all round performance saw us dismiss the opposition in the 62nd over. Our overall effort was the best of the season so far, with the bowling much tighter and accurate than it had been, and the [...]
