ACW Open Cricket
Last week the Open Cricket team competed in the T20 Schools Cup. In the first round ACW defeated Dalby Christian College in the fourteenth over. Standout performances from Thomas Doherty with the bat and Jacob Walters with the ball. Round two saw a tough battle, having to chase 193 of St Mary’s effort with the bat. An admirable start by Laura Scheiwe and Lachlan Collins defending their opening quick edging and playing cautiously all over the ground. Assumption fell short after twenty overs. The final game saw Ryan Fischer take charge with the ball, knocking over multiple Oakey State High contenders. Chasing 93 at the break, Matt Higgins displayed his outstanding technique and crafted a seamless innings. Assumption resulted in two from three for the day. Overall, the sportsmanship and leadership from all players was outstanding.
“The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.” – Kobe Bryant
Students at Assumption have been heavily involved in many sports from the beginning of term. It makes me proud to see many of our students attending trials, giving it their best and honouring ACW with pride. To these students, we are all cheering for you. Keep up the fantastic efforts, keep training and keep striving for success.
