IT was a disappointing end
to Trinity Old Scholars
Cricket Club’s season on
Saturday as its Adelaide
Turf Cricket Association
LO 4 side, and its Para District
Cricket Association
LO 2 side, both came up
short in their grand finals.
In ATCA competition,
Trinity was sent in to bat
first by Pembroke Old Scholars,
with Nathan Kennedy
and Harrison Varley scoring
28 runs each to help
the TOSers to 135 in its 40
overs.
Trinity’s bowlers stepped
up early in Pembroke’s chase
as Jase Morgan dismissed
both openers early on his
way to figures of 4/46 in nine
overs, but he had no answer
for Josh Nitschke.
Nitschke raced to 54 from
67 deliveries, including
hitting four balls over the
fence, to wrestle back the
ascendancy and turn 3/25
into 3/102.
Nitschke was eventually
run out, and a couple of quick
wickets to Dylan Milhench
(2/23) brought the game to
8/120 as it went down to the
wire.
Ultimately, James Winnard
delivered the win for Pembroke,
smacking 24 from 11
deliveries to reach the target
with five balls to spare to
claim the two-wicket win and
the premiership.
In PDCA, Trinity won the
toss and sent Eyre Royals
in to bat and was made to
regret the decision quickly
as the Royals shot out to a
1/93 start to give their middle
order a chance to swing
hard.
Opener Craig Delany (60
from 53 deliveries) topscored
for Eyre, while Jake
Edwards (38 from 20) provided
a scintillating cameo after
coming in at number-seven to
bring his side to 7/219 at the
end of 40 overs.
The chase started well for
Trinity as openers Lachlan
Kilmier (37 from 19) and
Dylan Kilmier (21 from
25) gave the middle order a
chance to do some damage,
but quick wickets turned 0/51
into 6/118.
Despite a solid showing
from the tail-end, Trinity fell
for 176 in the 35th over to
lose by 43 runs.
