CRICKETER OF THE WEEK
Well done to U15 White player Jimmy Brown who took a Hat-trick on Saturday down at Nolans Reserve in a nail biter win over Harbord. Jimmy took the last three wickets of the match – bowled, bowled and a big nick behind to the ‘keeper – that sealed the win. Well done Jimmy and well done to the 15 Whites!
