On Monday of Week 4, the Year 9/10 Cricket team played a 20/20 double header against St Martins’ Lutheran College and then Grant High School. After some reasonably tight bowling and fielding, Tenison Woods College held St Martins to a total of 80 runs. Bryce Catlin, Mason Rogers, Lenny Tunkin and Axel Page were amongst the key wicket takers. The team then made a restless start to their innings, losing some early wickets cheaply. Lenny Tunkin and Tom Richards were then able to steady the ship before Scott McBain played a cheeky reverse sweep for 4, scoring the winning runs.

A quick bus ride to Yahl before the boys faced a confident Grant High School. Bowling first again, the boys made a positive start with an early wicket from Harvey Croker. Grant High School kept the scoreboard ticking over as we dropped a few catches and began to let the game slide away. Suddenly, the wickets started falling and the pressure was on. Teej Lawlor bowled very well, taking 4 for the innings and was well supported in the field by the likes of Jeremy MacKenzie and Axel Page. At the end of the 20 overs, Grant High School finished with 106, seemingly a very achievable total to chase. Unfortunately, the team came extremely close but were not able to score the winning few runs in the final overs. Excellent knocks from Ethan Brook and Finn Skeer did not go unnoticed. Always disappointing to not quite get across the line however, the team should be very proud of their efforts and the way they represented Tenison Woods College.
