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!

Both clinics run from 9:00am to 12:30pm and will provide a comprehensive coaching program for boys & girls (6-15 years).

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.

All programs are designed to give boys and girls the chance to enjoy in a variety of activities to develop cricket skills and improve physical fitness. Each activity helps kids to develop social skills, sportsmanship and an understanding of the game with an emphasis on fun and involvement.

Making the first steps towards starting an in2CRICKET Centre in Galston-Glenorie, our Vice President and A Reserve Grade Captain Justin Epthorp was involved in promotional visits to both Middle Dural and Hillside Schools. Justin was lucky enough to see every child in each of the schools over the course of the day and gave them a little taste of cricket like they would expect to be doing if they joined the In2Cricket Program. At the end of the visits, the kids were given a Cricket NSW Showbag and a Galston Glenorie Cricket Club flier with the details of the club. You can read more about his visit here.

The MILO in2CRICKET Program is Cricket Australia’s official entry-level program, designed to introduce 5-10 year old children to the game of cricket in a fun and safe environment. Featuring a two tiered system, Have a Go and Have a Game, provides a progression for children who are involved in the program for 2 -3 years. MILO in2CRICKET Have a Go teaches participants basic cricket skills with skill development activities built into modified games. Using more advanced equipment and building on the skills learnt in Have a Go, MILO in2CRICKET Have a Game allows children to play intra-club modified games while developing their understanding of the ‘game’ cricket.

Another feature of the Milo in2CRICKET is the Boy Free Zone. The Boy Free Zone is  special program extension of Have a Go and Have a Game, which is tailored for young girls, providing a comfortable environment for them to learn basic cricket skills and participate in fun, interactive games.
