Wellington vs Dubbo Senior Cricket

Wellington High School has progressed to the 3^rd round of the Marie Cornish Shield after a convincing win over Dubbo Senior Campus. The result pleased the coach as this was the team who knocked us out of last year’s competition.

Having won the toss our side took the unusual tactic of bowling first which proved to be the right decision. Dubbo’s opening batters were settling in well at 0-14 after 4 overs before Giarn Cubby struck. A steady flow of wickets then followed as Dubbo were bowled out for 57 in the 22^nd over. Jacqui Ryan, Giarn Cubby and Amali McNeil were the main wicket takers in a strong bowling display.

Captain Bianca Douglas scored a quick fire 34 not out to steer the Wellington side to victory in the 10^th over of the game. She was well supported by Heavenly Dwyer who opened the batting and chipped in with 10 runs.

Wellington will now host Condobolin in the next round of the competition which is due to be played by mid November.
