JUNIOR cricket has returned to Stuarts Point Eungai Cricket Club after three years’ absence.
Stuarts Point oval was buzzing early on Saturday morning, 25 October as the action got underway.
President Jake Jeffrey told News Of The Area, “Saturday morning our junior Under 10s had their first game of the season at home, with a good crowd showing up for the 8:30am start.
“Norah was named captain and won the bat flip, choosing to bat first.
“Ike and Jonothan opened the batting and got us off to a steady start.
“Lachy came out with some intent and hit a couple of boundaries.
“Indie and Isylah finished off the batting well and all the batters put in a great effort and ran well between the wickets in their first ever game.
“After a quick drink break the young team ran out to field, facing the visiting South West Rocks team as locals Piper, Jonothan and Jacko put in some good bowling performances, and Lucas surprised himself with a great catch.”
The club is hoping to attract big crowds this year to support the area’s young cricketers.
