ALEX TURNER SNARES 7 WICKETS

Second XI opening bowler Alex Turner produced one significant highlight in what was a fairly dark and miserable round for the Snowdogs, taking an incredible 7/43 off 28 overs in the round 3 match against Airport West/St.Christophers.

Alex broke into the 2nd XI last season after showing promise in the lower XI's over the past few seasons and has this season cemented himself a spot as one of the lead bowlers in the side. Opening the day with ball in hand he bowled 21 overs straight as the Snowdogs tried to defend their 1st innings score of 120. The incredible workman-like spell of bowling included 7 maidens as he claimed the wicket of 4 of the top 5 Airport West batsmen.

A fantastic effort by a young player with plenty of promise, who will hopefully have higher honours bestowed upon him in the not to distant future.

Well done Turner!
