Jonah Trope and Zac Sidley

The Emanuel Junior Cricket Team played in their Round 2 match of the Wiburd Cricket Shield. Emanuel had drawn Moriah College, for a home game at Snape Park, Maroubra on Wednesday. The opposition won the toss and elected to bat. Displaying some fine batting ability, Moriah scored a very impressive 5/287 runs off 40 overs. Zac Sidley and Aron Harpaz were the top bowlers on the day, with 2/26 and 2/41 respectively.

With this huge target to chase, Emanuel put on what was an exceptional batting performance. Jonah Trope, who is one of the finest cricketers for his age in the state at the moment, hit an impressive 156 runs of 95 balls. Zac Sidley displayed his excellent batting skills, hitting 95 runs off 99 balls, and finishing the day not out. Aaron Glass hit the winning runs, to finish the day 2/290 with a few overs to spare.

Congratulations to all of the boys in the team and I wish them the best of luck for Round 3!
