While many people were looking for places to cool off due to the hot weather and then a thunder storm, Redlands third grade batsman Adam Pearson had the Ipswich/Logan players running all over the field chasing the ball as he scored 138 runs which included 13 fours and five sixes.
Pearson’s score, from 114 balls, enabled Redlands to reach 253 runs for the loss of seven wickets in their one-day game at home last Saturday. Ipswich/Logan were five down for 131 runs when the thunder storm ended play, resulting in a Redlands win due to a better run rate.
1st Grade played Ipswich/Logan in a two day game at Amberley and unfortunately could not reach the required total of 360 runs. Nick Hurford top scored with 58 runs, with the other main run scorers being Jimmy Peirson 50 and Harry Tyler 46 as Redlands were dismissed for 217. Batting a second time Redlands were one down for 86 runs with Steven Moss on 36 not out and our Queensland u/19 rep player Liam Smith 27 not out. The club wishes Liam all the best as he will be in Adelaide for the next two weeks playing in the National u/19 Championships.
2nd Grade also played a two-day game against Ipswich/Logan at home. Redlands added a further 20 runs early on day two before being dismissed for 206 runs. Ipswich/Logan started their run chase slowly and were finally dismissed for 180 runs thanks to a fine bowling display from Mark Rasmussen who took four wickets. Lenny Watt and Charlie Mailli chipped in taking three wickets each.
The other Grades were playing One Day matches and Redlands came away with wins in third and sixth grade no 1.Unfortunaely the weather intervened in the other results.
3rd Grade played at home on Fred Kratzman Oval and thanks to a brilliant century from Adam Pearson who scored 138, had a convincing victory against Ipswich/Logan due to a better run rate. Dylan Gray contributed a solid 49 runs and Josh Cole chipped in with three wickets.
4th no 1 team dismissed Wests for 171 with Raven Wijeyeratne taking five wickets, Lance Parsons three and Alex Ward two. The Redlands boys started their run chase knowing that they had to score quick runs as a thunder storm was approaching. Unfortunately they lost wickets in pursuit and were not able to match the run rate set by Wests. Brandon James, 28, and Lance Parsons, 21, top scored for Redlands.
4th Grade no 2 team played a one-day game at home on Sunday and after their 40 overs put on 165 runs with the main run scorers being Jake Goodwin 36, Craig Holdsworth 30 and Greg Thompson 25. Norths chased down the Redlands score for the loss of four wickets with Lincoln Rosiak the leading wicket-taker.
5th Grade were 9 down for 180 when the thunder storm hit Wellington Point and no further play was possible. Scott Butters 51 and Jack Fraser 40 were the main run scorers. The Redlands boys could not match the run rate set earlier by Wests as they put on 235 runs for the loss of four wickets batting first. Jacob Apted took two of the four wickets to fall.
6th Grade no 1 and 2 teams played the annual derby at home on Sunday and in a good spirited game Redlands no 1 team were the winners this time around. The no 1 team scored seven for 164 with Paul Bonney top scoring with 78. Jack Patterson took three wickets and Will Read two, including a brilliant caught and bowl. Redlands no 2 put on 163 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Zac Dale 59 not out and Aidan Bryant 51 top scored for the no 2 team. Jay Kildey and Dhirajkumar Rajakumar were the main wicket takers for the no 1 team. Well done to both Redlands teams.
Redlands Women’s 2nd Grade team played two T20 games on Sunday and won both games.
In the first game University were eight for 61 with Del Laycock, Clodagh Ryall and Summer-rose Briskey taking two wickets each. Redlands chased down the 62 runs required for victory without losing a wicket thanks to Evie Massingham and Hannah Fannin.
In the second game Redlands dominated again with main wicket takers Jesica Pang and Clodagh Ryall helping to reduce the Ipswich/Logan total to 125 runs. Del Laycock 43 and Clodagh Ryall 32 were the main run scorers as Redlands scored the required runs for the loss of four wickets.
1st and 2nd Grades also played two games of T20 matches on Sunday. Unfortunately 1st grade lost both of their games but 2nd grade won their two. One of the highlights was the lusty hitting from Lenny Watt who saw his side over the line with four sixes in the 19th over.
