DIVISION ONE Away v GGCD Tuesday twilight 14.01.20
Lost 2-18
It has been a happy hunting ground for us over the years, with numerous good wins, but this year's trip to Golden Grove proved to be a nightmare of the highest order. Their normally fragile batting line-up put us to the sword, with twenty-one hits thrashed to all parts of the diamond including three homers to our three hits, all collected in the last inning when they introduced a reliever. Their first inning of six runs lasted twenty-seven minutes, then they amassed six more in the third, and another five in the fourth, which was their last. A dismal effort. Hits: Ethan Marchioro, Todd Dunstall, Wade Moore. Harrison Kiss had his first Div One start and acquitted himself well.
DIVISION ONE at Don Klaebe Field Sunday 19.01.20
Lost 2-11 to West Torrens.
Although being well beaten after nine innings, the boys put up a much better performance against one of the top teams, and were certainly in it right up until the Eagles got six in the sixth and seventh to close us out. Weight of numbers with their big hitters told in the end, but the signs were a big improvement on the mid-week showing. New transferee Callum Park, playing his first game, hit a nice double to score us a run in the fourth, and let's hope it's a look into the future. Hits: Rhys Owen 2, Gary Owens, Callum Park, Ethan Marchioro, Troy Nicholson, Wade Moore, Todd Dunstall 1.
DIVISION TWO at Don Klaebe Field Sunday 19.01.20
Drew 7-7 with West Torrens.
Strange old game, with us trailing most of the day, at one stage being down zip to seven, but the boy's comeback is a credit to them. We got one back in the sixth, but got four more next dig on the back of Nat's and Ethan's hits, and all of a sudden we were only two down, and the Torrens team were powerless to stop the momentum. Marso the elder hit and subsequently got home, and one more tied it up. Just keeping the finals flame flickering. Hits: Ryan Marsland, Nathan Nicholson 2, Jackson Sowton, Troy Nicholson, Tom Dineen, Will Kortekaas, Travis Joblin, Ethan Marchioro, Wade Moore 1. Vic Benveltzen put in a sterling showing on the mound.
DIV FOUR are having a tough time of it and lost to Southern Districts.
DIV SIX
With Sully having a super game on the mound, the boys all rallied around him and had a fine win against an experienced Sturt team, 10-6, consolidating their grip on a finals spot. Hits: Teakle, Behr 3, Sully, Watto (Superbat) 2, Cuz, Nicko 1.
DIV SEVEN
Also played Sturt but couldn't achieve the same result and went down 7-14 with hits to new boy Shane Lavida (welcome Shane) 3, two each to Derek Milne, Casey Moore and Keith Mortimore, and one to Aldo McCormack.
WOMAN'S LEAGUE
Unbeaten Sturt began with four in the first, but our girls got their act together and clawed back with impressive hitting and top defence. We never gave up at any stage and really surprised the opposition and gave them something to think about. We lost 7-12, but a hugh improvement on our encounter with them earlier in the season. Hits: Louise Bartel 3, Rachel Coutie 2, Darna Veen, Carly Moore, Alyssa Lasscock, Kerryn Fry, Carol Ryan 1. Darna, Rachel and Carly handled the pitching duties.
