A 254 run, sixth wicket partnership has seen new records set by juniors Robert Barker and Hayder Aly of our combined Redfield/Galston-Glenorie U15s team.

 

On the 19th of November at Greenway#2 against WPHCCC, Rob came in to bat at 1/23, with Hayder coming to the crease when the score was 5/79. What followed was an onslought of runs that lasted for almost 3 hours.

Rob scored 231 off 147 balls, which included thirty six 4’s and six 6’s. Rob broke a record from 1949/1950 (Cunningham – 200) and also, according to the HK&HDCA website, scored the second highest score ever in juniors history. 231 also broke the Galston-Glenorie highest innings score, passing the 225 set by both Justin Epthorp and Harry Pears.

 

Hayder played the supporting role, showing patience and maturity beyond his years, scoring 46 off 87 balls including five 4’s. According to those at the ground, “… by about halfway through the innings, it was like watching 2 seasoned professionals who had batted together for years“.

 

Congratulations to Rob and Hayder on their monumental achievements!

The A Grade side are in the local media this week after scoring their first win of the 2011-12 season. The full scorecard can be found here. As reported by The Hornsby Advocate here:

 

GALSTON-GLENORIE edged past Hornsby to score their first win since returning to the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai and Hills Cricket Association A grade competition.

Batting first at Parklands Oval, Hornsby captain Brent Hartland raced to a half-century after just 15 overs, hitting 13 fours before being dismissed for 62.

Then Hornsby collapsed from 3-87 to be all out for 112.

The destroyers were medium-pacers Josh O’Connor (3-32) and Glen Gittins (2-14).

Galston-Glenorie lost an early wicket but veteran Mark Middleton and Ted Tully steadied the side.

Middleton (37) was strong off the back foot and batted patiently, while Tully (22) played some delightful shots off his toes.

Galston-Glenorie moved to 3-91 before accurate bowling from Hari Jaganathan (2-22) and Darron Green (3-32) triggered a collapse.

But Liam Tully (10 not out) and Jason Stjernquist (2 not out) secured victory for Galston-Glenorie.
