Round 4 09-10

Last weekend (28 &29th November) was scheduled as a double header in A grade with no games for C grade. The Crows were rostered to have the bye on the Sunday after taking on Snug on Saturday. As it turned out due to the persistent rain no play was possible in the Saturday game at home. 

Likewise the B1 match against Blackmans Bay at Sherburd Park was also abandoned without a ball being bowled. 

In the round 3 match against Slab Road we saw Jason Jones play his 200th match for the Crows. Jonah came to the Club approx 15 seasons ago after having played near on 150 games for Ranelagh-Grove. He has given fantastic service to Club during that period having won numerous awards along the way. For the past 4 seasons or so Jason has been an Assistant Coach of the Club; a position he puts a great deal of effort into. It is interesting to note that when he came to the club he was a proven swing bowler in the old HCA competition. He soon found his place at the Crows as a crafty Leg spinner having played in two of the A grade Premiership teams. Well done No. 5.

B2 ventured down to Ranelagh to take on North Huon where we batted first but only saw enough play for Michael Langford to make a “Duck’ before that game was also abandoned. 

The Crows have made it through to the Semi Finals of the HCCA Twenty20 competition after defeating North Huon in a relatively low scoring game at our home ground on Tuesday night (24/11). Geoff Freeman, Jamie Knott and Mark Owen provided the bulk of the runs and Nick Townsend with two was the only multiple wicket taker. The Crows lost 5 wickets and took to the 18th over to overtake North Huon’s total of 102. 

All at the Club offer our condolences to long time supporter Adrian “Spider” Webb on the passing of his mother.
