Man of the Match - David Head

Mo of the Match  - Matt Gilfellon
Following an association bye for the Perth test match, Dumbleyung-Kukerin was scheduled to play a home game against an in-form Williams. The early signs weren’t good with the Australian batting line-up getting scrambled, the captain scrambling to find an eleventh player and Williams winning the toss and batting.

The team took to the field knowing that it would be a difficult game to win however rather than becoming despondent, the team’s attitude was instead relaxed. The start was innocuous, a maiden first over followed by five runs off the second. What happened next was rather unbelievable. Channelling Vernon Philander’s earlier efforts, David Head bowled five dot balls before clean bowling the opening batsmen. Scott Gray followed this up with a maiden before David Head continued the great display of bowling by claiming the other opener on the fifth ball of his third over. The score was now 2/2 and the spirits were raised. The tight bowling was backed up by some tight fielding, putting the pressure on the Williams batsmen. David Head was bowling an almost unplayable spell; maiden, wicket maiden, wicket maiden, maiden, wicket maiden, wicket maiden, maiden. At the end of his seven overs he had the incredible figures of 2/0. The opening bowlers had left Williams in a lot of trouble at 4/12 off the first 14 overs. A double change of bowlers had the potential to reduce the pressure but some good fielding by Ryan Taylor resulted in a run out to put Williams in even more trouble. Lee Smith backed up the openers with a good spell that resulted in another two wickets. With Williams on 7-72 Dumbleyung-Kukerin went for the kill and brought the openers back on. After having two runs taken off his eight over, David Head struck again in his ninth, another wicket maiden, to pick up his fifth wicket. Scott Gray then finished up with two well deserved wickets in the next over. Williams were all out for 73 off 25.5 overs, David Head having the stunning figures of 5/2 in his nine overs including eight maidens.
 
Cricket is a funny game though and often a small total can make for a difficult chase. The Williams innings didn’t leave enough time for the pies to warm up so it was decided to continue playing for an hour before the afternoon tea break. Dame Leo and Matt Gilfellon went out to face a strong Williams bowling attack. Although the score they were chasing wasn’t huge, the bowling attack was strong so the form of attack was defence. Dame’s defence looks very similar to his attack and this helped him get off to a quick start before falling in the second over. Kalan Joyce, batting as his normal number three position, came in and started strongly with determined look in his eyes. Sensing danger, Williams’ not-so-secret weapon was brought into the attack. This brought about two quick wickets which left the score on 3-38. Matt (A Frame) Hitchcock came out to bat and with Matt Gilfellon sought to stay in the middle until afternoon tea which they duly did. With Matt Gilfellon's attack looking a lot like his defence, the post-afternoon tea requirement of thirty runs off thirty overs meant the game could go down  to the wire however extras stepped up the run rate and the score was reached off 20.1 overs with the team only three wickets down.

The next game is to be played this weekend against Harrismith at Harrismith, always a great chance to visit the ‘O’ under the guise of supporting local cricket. The following game will be on the 3rd of December at home against Cuballing.
 
David Head        5/2(9)   
Matt Gilfellon     34*
Scott Gray           2/12 (7.5)                          
Kalan Joyce         15
Lee Smith           2/29 (5)

Having tried almost everything to improve his bowling Matt Gilfellon has decided to try the Mitchell Johnson tactic of growing his mo’. While it probably won’t help his bowling it may have a chance of helping out Men's Health. You can donate at http://mobro.co/mattgilfellon Any donation will be very much appreciated.

Dumbleyung Ladies Pennant Bowls

Travelling to Kojonup was the easy part of the day, everyone looking forward to the challenge of playing on the very different carpet surface of Kojonup.   Perfect weather, great morning tea, bowls all polished, both teams vying for the cup of free coffee at the end of the day, with new Skipper, Helen Gooding taking the reins and overcoming all barriers and defeating Audrey Bateup's team for the coffee.  As you can tell the ladies played their best but it just was not good enough with Wagin winning 4 nil.  We did have a spectator/supporter in George Bartram but he did behave himself extremely well.  As the saying goes always room for improvement and the only way is up, up, up!  Next Tuesday, 15 sees the ladies travel to Katanning.

Kukerin Bowls

In almost perfect conditions for bowls last Sunday the men’s club pairs were completed. The event was played in a round robin format and at the end of the competition the final game of the series saw Graeme Smith and Phil Adams play Tim Adams and Ian Faulkner.  Both teams were undefeated at this stage although Adams and Faulkner had drawn one game.  Smith and Adams came out of the blocks to an early lead and as the game progressed it became very competitive, however Smith and Adams held off the challenge to remain undefeated and win the event.  They will now represent Kukerin in the League pairs at Lake Grace on the 10th of December.

Next Saturday Kukerin travel to Karlgarin for pennants. Karlgarin have had a resurgence of fortunes this season and are in second place on the ladder and a big effort is needed if we are to stay in contention for finals later in the season.  Pennant practise is from 5 pm on Friday afternoon for all who are available.

Dumbleyung Tennis Club

A bus trip to Lake Grace was the way to go with our No 1 Driver Carmen.  It was heard that the HLTQC  had been working on a team since Wednesday, this is what one calls dedication to the ladies, though had added pressure, for he had to contend with the men's team as well, Captain Drew was making a flying trip to see his chick.  HLTQC now has a small black book with many ladies telephone numbers in, but he succeeded in finding enough fillies to fill the spots.  It was a great tennis day, no wind, rain, and even the heat decided to stay lower than expected.  Lake Grace fielding a parcel of new players: a very young, fit looking team, even the oldest man looked super fit and the tale tells it all as Laurie Steere played with his Grandson Paddy Smith.  

The final scores Dumbleyung 25 sets 174 games to Lake Grace 9 sets 117 games.  The new look team with Carly Smith and Rachel Springbett playing their 1st games winning 4 & 5 sets.  Another man, not as young as Ethan, in Tom Pearce winning 5 sets (Tom is such an obedient player, obeying Carmen's very sedate instructions!!!)with Ethan 4 sets and the ladies Carmen and Tamara 5sets. The trip home was entertaining with killer tales of the old days, interesting scuffles on footy fields, tennis excursion to the Oasis

 Lake Grace were ecstatic with their sets as they tripled their score from the week before and as the saying goes there is always room for improvement win lose or draw as long as one can love the game of tennis. 

 A big thank you to our stressed out Hairy Legged Tennis Queen Coordinator who once again triumphed with his herd.

There will be Friday social tennis up to Christmas.  The Lawn Classic to be held in February so please keep free.  Please pay your subs to our Treasurer Jane Smith.   Players are looking at making a trip to Cowaramup around the 20/21 January 2017 for tennis so keep in mind.
