Positive start continues- Brinkman & Maxwell Fire

The positive start to the year for the Castra Crows has continued this weekend, with a great win to the 2nd's and a reality check for the A grade boys.
In the A's runs were hard to come by for the Castra boys who despite some excellent defence from Craig Kuhns and a solid 25 from Bakesy, struggled to 80 off almost the full 45 overs. Gawler then knocked of the total 3 down. More runs are certainly needed for the crows to be contenders this season.
In the B's the Crows put in a fantastic team effort led by Maxwell with (4-22) and Brinkman with
(31 & 2-14), with Lips How also chipping in with 2 wickets. Fluff continues with his undefeated start to the season.
With a few players to return in the coming weeks, the crows will only get stronger as the year progresses.

Two Games, Two Wins for the Crows

Against last years wooden spoon winners the Castra Crows have taken the points in round 1 of the season. No players set the world on fire with the bat throughout the round. In the A Grade new recruit Raaj "Slumdog" Anand was very impressive with the ball as was youngster Beau Stubbs. New B grade coach David "Fluff" Whiteley was pleased to take the points after a tough week at selection. Training numbers have been outstanding so far this season and its great to see so many new faces. A reminder to all that training is now at the Ulverstone Cricket Club on a Wednesday night starting at 5.30pm. This week should see the return of Lips Howe from illness, with Pearson, Smith and Batten not far away from returning to the fold. Great to see Martin Gaffney at training tonight. Good luck for the weekend.
