Junior Cricket Tournament

By Ken Rust | Posted: Friday November 24, 2017

There was further success for our teams in this week's Junior Cricket Tournament.

The Year 9 A was undefeated and in beating John McGlashan on Wednesday they qualified for the Zone Final of the NZCT Knockout Competition. This will be played against King's on Thursday December 7.

The Year 9 B team had two good wins over their opponents from King's and two gutsy performances against Year 10 teams at Memorial Park. Ollie McKewen led the side by example.

The Year 10 A team had two good games , one on Littlebourne and the second a convincing win over a McGlashan team.

The OBHS 10B and 9B cricket teams were involved in a tournament at Memorial Park along with King's and Taieri College.

Final V Taieri

Taieri batted first and a tight bowling performance limited them to 108/2. OBHS were in trouble slumping to 40/5 but a match winning knock of 49 not out by Jacob Barnes saved the day and we won by five wickets. All players performed well during the two day event and chipped in with wickets and runs when needed. Most importantly, they played in the spirit of the game and were fine ambassadors for the school.
