This past Saturday, 20 January, the Union u/13A cricket team took part in a ๐—ง๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ ๐—™๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—œ๐—ฉ๐—”๐—Ÿ held at Woodridge College.

Although Union lost an early wicket, it paved the way for an outstanding 161-run partnership for the second wicket between ๐——๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐˜€ and ๐—๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ต ๐—ž๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น.

Mills contributed a commendable 63 runs, while Kingwill showcased his skills with a 66-run knock. Union concluded their innings with a formidable total of 169/1.

In response, the Union bowlers came out firing and managed to contain St. George’s, limiting them to 85/6. ๐—๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ฉ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ and ๐—”๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—™๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ proved to be the standout performers, each taking two wickets apiece.

The second game of the day saw Union facing off against Muir College.

Muir College ultimately emerged as the winners, achieving the required total with six wickets in hand. However, Union’s spirited fight was evident until the second last over when Muir secured the victory. ๐—ฅ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ป ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ excelled with the ball, claiming two crucial wickets for Union.

Although Union suffered a loss in this second game, their performance and fighting spirit certainly left a lasting impression. The team showcased great sportsmanship and never gave up until the final ball was bowled.
