IT was a case of deja vu for the Snowdogs Round 2 matches on Saturday. Last season will be remembered as one of the most rain-affected in the competition’s history. On Saturday, the 1st, 3rd and 4th eleven sides had to settle for draws after heavy rain plagued the round on the second day of round two. Special mention to John Jordan for taking 5/14 the previous week. The 2nd eleven managed to get a full days play chasing 205 set by Royal Park. The chase started well with many players making a start but unable to capitalise. Brad Cooper led the chase with a well compiled 41 after the team was 4-59. In the end they never in the mix making 9-147 off 77 overs falling 60 runs short. After waiting much of the day the 3rd’s did manage to get some game time. Sean Hefter backed up his 50 n.o in the juniors with the ball by grabbing an early wicket with the help of Lachlan Wade in slips. The team had Greenvale 4-25 before the storm hit and put an end to what was !
shaping up as another victory. As a whole the club is slightly behind to where it wants to be but early signs are looking promising with many young players stepping up from the juniors and making significant contributions in the senior sides. Goodluck to all players next week.
