Team 1, Coach's Beard 0
What a way to finish the season!
As the following score summary shows, the final of the inaugural NSW Country Under 14 cricket championship, played at the beautiful Holman Oval, Cowra, was rather one-sided:
Central Coast 3/278 (J Hayward 91 not out, T McDonald 67, L O'Brien 42, M Coombs 22 not out) beat Riverina 44 (A Pitty 3/11, D Tonkin 3/12, J Dusting 2/6)
It was an emphatic way for the team to finish what has been a triumphant season. Winners of the NSWDCA Moore Shield and now winners of the NSW Country Under 14 competition as well. I'm sure many of the players will go onto bigger and better things in their cricket careers but the 2005/06 season will be always be one for them to look back on with fond memories.
And, as promised, the coach shaved his beard off!
