Nibblies will be provided by the Cricket Club and all food and grog can be purchased at everyone’s leisure. We have a marque outside and everyone is welcome to play a game of lawn bowls under lights.

Come along and have a great night in a friendly atmosphere.

UP THE BAR.

Former Lennox Head player Jordan Waugh has ripped through the Norths Goonellabah batting line up to take 5/30 off 9 overs and restricting them to 155 all out. In reply Tintenbar East Ballina are 2/64 with 16 year old Kane Hamilton showing maturity beyond his years batting through till stumps with 19 no. Kent Shay looked good and was run out late in the day for 33.

With the boys needing only 91 runs it should be an early day in Lismore for the first graders.

 The cricket would like to welcome on board a new sponsor for the 2006-2007 season in Ballina Alarms.

The sponsorship money is very much appreciated and will be put to good use this year to purchase new equipment and continue to upgrade the turf pitch at Kingsford Smith Park.

What a tight one. It went down to the wire like I thought it would. Donny showed enormous amounts of concentration to bat till after tea for what was a match winning 42 runs. In particular his tactic to not run singles proved a masterstroke in conserving his energy levels. The Hose backed Donny up with a sparkling 34 while various batsmen chipped in with starts. Particular mention goes to the younger brigade , Dan, Potts, Ben & Abe Crawford whom hung tough when it mattered most, with fierce leg spin from one end & quicks at the other coupled with the stand in opposition skipper moving the field every ball, they held their nerve & guided us home to a 3 run win. A big thanks to Wayno who came & batted despite having the 3 kids to look after, thanks also to Sue H & bro Hose for helping out. ” UP THE BAR “
