Dear Cricket Community,

Round 5 returned mixed results as we took on Cricket heavyweight, The Southport School. Of 20 matches, we were victorious in 9.

There were some extremely impressive team and individual performances throughout the round.

We have 5 sides who maintained their unbeaten start to the season (7D, 8B, 8C, 8D and 10A). Most impressively were the performances of 10A who bowled out TSS for 65 and chased the total with 8 wickets in hand (Paarth Menon making an impressive 41 not out). Our 8B side were also ruthless, skittling TSS for 21 in tough batting conditions.

Individually it was Year 12 student who stole the show, taking 7 for 16 off 6 overs for our 2nd XI on the Gold Coast, while in our 5A contest, it was Alby Gailbraith who dominated with 2 for 2 off his 2 overs and 20 not out. These boys recorded a 19 run victory over TSS.

Dear Cricket Community,

The Round 3 ‘Bye’ round had six fixtures scheduled for our 1st XI and ‘A’ sides  against Downlands College and Ambrose Treacy College respectively. Unfortunately these matches were cancelled on Friday at lunch time.

In Round 4, TGS take on Ipswich Grammar School in an away fixture for our 1st XI (and year 5, 7, 9 and 11 sides). Given the smaller program at IGS, please ensure the draw is read carefully – there are 5 supplementary fixtures in Round 4.

It is likely rain will intervene at some stage this week so please stay tuned to the SAA website for changes to training and games.

Yours in Cricket,

Dear Cricket Community,

Round 2 only saw one game of Cricket played due to the much needed rain! The match played was our 1st XI fixture on Ron Oxenham Oval at Tennyson against Gregory Terrace. Winning the toss, captain Dan Brown sent GT in to bat which paid dividends. From the outset GT were on the back-foot and could only manage 103 before being bundled out in tough batting conditions. TGS in reply passed the total 6 wickets down. For the full match report, click here.

This weekend our 1st XI side take on Downlands College in the annual Tom Allen Trophy, while ‘A’ sides from Year 7 up will take on Ambrose Treacy College at home. The rest of our program will enjoy the ‘BYE’ round.

In and around the wet, it is important, where possible, that we continue to hit, bowl and catch plenty of balls.

Enjoy the rain!

Yours in Cricket,

Ben Schuhmacher
