They say that cricket is the ‘gentleman’s game’, and I can truly say that the boys that represented Thomas Hassall in cricket are gentlemen in the making. Both Senior and Junior teams had much talent and constantly tried their best throughout the season.
The junior boys came back from the winter break focused and revitalised and had a string of wins to make the finals. Although we did not progress (and ended up coming fourth across both divisions), it was a joy to see not only how much they grew in their talent but in their attitude.
Unfortunately during the regular season, despite our gifted team and a concerted effort, the Seniors did not make the finals. Throughout the year we proved to be very competitive in a very tough competition and often lost by only a few runs. A particular thank you to the Year 6’s who will be missed. They provided great leadership and dedication for the others to follow.
Well done for both teams for representing Thomas Hassall in cricket in 2017.
