Some steady rear-guard action from the experienced Michael Solling (16) and Ollie

Solling fell and then Southam had his castle disturbed by possibly the ball of the day
shortly after, 86/5. From their it all fell apart quickly as the last six wickets fell for seven
runs, before you could blink, Hornsby all out for 92.
With the ball swinging around and 45 minutes to bowl before tea and a whole 2-hour
session to follow, the goal was to try and restrict a strong Berowra batting line-up as
much as possible to try and force a second innings. Little did anyone know what was to
follow. Things started well with Alok Malhotra striking in the 3rd over, David Norris
settling under a high ball to have Berowra 8/1, their number three came and went and
the score was 23/2 at tea, Malhotra with both scalps.

HDCC C2 v Mount Colah at Montview West
Week 1 – Mount Colah won the toss and elected to bowl.
Cameron Hay and Jack O’Brien gave the C2’s a great start putting on an opening partnership of 49
before Cameron fell to a sharp catch. Young gun Josh Els came to the crease and played well,
building another decent partnership with Jack. Josh became the first victim of what transpired to
be 6 unplayable deliveries that rattled the stumps of the middle order creating a collapse that has
not been uncommon for the team in its maiden season. Contributions from Harry and Charles
helped get the score over 100. Tim managed to remain not out at the end with Laurent reaching
his average of 2 before being the last wicket to fall with the score at 129.
The previous meeting between these 2 teams resulted in a Hornsby victory after bowling Mount
Colah all out for 75; 129 on the board was thought to be enough.
With 12 minutes left in the day the boys sprinted in to position and began the innings with a
maiden from Aaron Kerr. Jackson Thompson opened from the other end and trapped their opening
batsman plumb LBW with the umpire raising his finger to a “not too happy” batsmen. Another
maiden from both openers before the captain asked the umpire “time for one more ump”? “If
you’re quick”, came the reply. The C2 boys darted into position and began the 5 th over with Aaron
delivering a beautiful deliver that created doubt for the batsmen and another reason for a raised
finger as the LBW appeal was once again upheld. End of play. Mount Colah 2 - 0
Week 2 – rain stopped play from even starting and after 3 hours the Mount Colah captain finally
agreed to call an end to it. Match drawn, HDCC through to the Grand Final against Castle Hill which
unfortunately was cancelled due to the Corona Virus!
C2 TEAM CHAMPIONS: Tim Thompson (C), Harry Hegarty, Laurent Vayriot, Jackson Thompson,
Aaron Kerr, Charles Els, Josh Els, Cameron Hay, Reily Cameron, Jack O’Brien, Mick O’Brien & Charlie
Thompson as 12th Man. NOTE: This is a mixed team, some of these guys are juniors!
