1st Grade - There were more records broken in 1sts this week than when the CD player was invented. The boys had a big day out at HDO.
The heart and soul of the Ex-Servos, our first-grade captain and favorite son Dan Gleeson (pictured bottom centre) stood up and smashed 110 off 99. It was a masterful innings. Jake O'Connell (pictured left) joined Dan out in the crease and had a blinder, hitting the ball to all areas inside and outside of HDO, making an incredible 131 off 106! He has had a handy first few games for us! The partnership was one that will be remembered for a long time.
We ended up on 373 and Kookas just were never going to get there with Mick Coulter taking 3 for 16 and the rest of the bowlers having tidy spells.
