DONNYBROOKS SATURDAY WRAP!

A big weekend of cricket for the Donnys, with a last-over thriller in the A1s, a dominant victory in the A3s and a tough day for our A4 boys, who battled hard against Tanunda.

A1 – Nuriootpa v Willaston

What a nail-biter at Nuriootpa!

Bowling first, the Donnys restricted Nuriootpa to 176 from their 40 overs, with Justin Davies (3/36) and Travis McIntyre (3/36) leading the way.

Johnny Ritzema chipped in with 2/40, while skipper Dyl McIver bowled an economical spell of 1/15 from six overs, including two maidens.

In reply, Justin Davies (72) and Bradley Woodward (64) produced two outstanding knocks to put the Donnys in a strong position.

But cricket is never that simple!

The match went right down to the final over, with the Donnys scraping home by one wicket, finishing on 9/177 from 39.5 overs!

A heart-stopping finish, but a fantastic win for the A1 boys!

A3 – Willaston v Nuriootpa

An outstanding all-round performance from the A3 boys saw them record a massive 134-run victory over Nuriootpa!

Batting first, the Donnys piled on 3/262, led by a sensational innings from Lyndon Woods, who smashed an unbeaten 154 from just 129 balls, including 16 fours and four sixes!

Zac Lowe (52) provided excellent support with a well-made half-century, while Dallas Riches finished unbeaten on 26.

With a big total on the board, the bowlers went to work.

Max Gray was the star with the ball, ripping through Nuriootpa’s batting lineup to claim an incredible 6/16 from eight overs, including two maidens!

Taylor Brown (1/21) and Dallas Riches (1/4) also chipped in as Nuriootpa were dismissed for just 128.

A brilliant team performance and a well-deserved win!

A4 – Willaston v Tanunda

A tough afternoon for the A4 boys against a strong Tanunda outfit at Roseworthy.

Tanunda posted an imposing 3/261 from their 40 overs, with Colby Miller (1/45) and Occy Hodshon (1/34) picking up wickets.

In reply, the Donnys struggled to get going with the bat and were dismissed for 54, with Mack Filsellschubert (12) and Lincoln O’Malley (11) the leading run scorers.

It certainly wasn’t the result the boys were after, but credit to the side for battling away against quality opposition.

Plenty of cricket still to come, and the boys will be keen to bounce back next weekend!

A fantastic couple of wins for our A1 and A3 sides, with some outstanding individual performances across the grades.

BACK INTO ACTION!

A

BACK INTO ACTION!

After another rain-affected weekend, all three Donnybrook sides are ready to get back out there this Saturday!

A1 – Nuriootpa v Willaston
📍 Centennial Park Oval | Saturday, 1pm

After last week’s washout, the A1 boys return to Nuriootpa, with their original two-day fixture now reduced to a one-day contest.

The lads will be keen to get some cricket under their belts and continue their strong start to the season!

A3 – Willaston v Nuriootpa
📍 Elliot Goodger Memorial Park | Saturday, 1pm

The A3 boys are back on home turf, with last week’s rain-affected two-day fixture also becoming a one-dayer.

With a full day’s cricket hopefully ahead, the boys will be looking to make home-ground advantage count and put in a big performance against Nuriootpa!

A4 – Willaston v Tanunda
📍 Roseworthy Campus Main Oval | Saturday, 1pm

The A4 boys are back in action against Tanunda this weekend and will be fired up to put in a big performance!

After some impressive individual efforts last Saturday, including Lincoln O’Malley’s unbeaten half-century, the boys will be looking to put it all together and get that first win on the board.

Plenty of determination in this group, and they’ll be ready to give Tanunda a red-hot crack!

Good luck to all three sides this weekend. Let’s hope for some sunshine and three big performances!

DONNYBROOKS WEEKEND

DONNYBROOKS WEEKEND WRAP!

The weather has once again played its part this weekend, with our A1 and A3 sides unable to get underway. Fortunately, the A4 boys managed to get a full game in at Kapunda!

A1 – Nuriootpa v Willaston

Unfortunately, rain prevented any play at Nuriootpa, with the two-day fixture now set to be played as a one-day match next Saturday.

The A1 boys will be keen to get back out there after another frustrating weekend on the sidelines.

A3 – Willaston v Nuriootpa

It was a similar story for Thommo and the A3 boys, with no play possible at Elliot Goodger Memorial Park.

The match will now be decided in a one-day contest next Saturday, with the boys hoping for some better weather!

A4 – Kapunda v Willaston

Our A4 side managed to get a game in at Kapunda, but unfortunately came up against a strong home side.

Batting first, Kapunda posted 258 from 39.2 overs.

There were some encouraging performances with the ball, led by Harry Pyecroft (4/54) and Lincoln O’Malley (3/55), while Hayden Willis chipped in with 2/22.

In reply, the Donnys were dismissed for 106, going down by 152 runs.

The highlight with the bat was Lincoln O’Malley, who fought hard to finish unbeaten on 50 from 51 balls, including five fours and a six!

Prashant Tripathi (15) and Mack Filsellschubert (14) also made contributions.

While the result wasn’t what the boys were after, there were some individual positives to take away, particularly Lincoln’s all-round performance.

With plenty of young players continuing to find their feet in senior cricket, the experience will be valuable as the season progresses.

Hopefully we can get all three sides back out on the park next Saturday!

🔴🔵 Up the Donnys!
