Kukerin Bowling Club

​Kukerin travelled to Kondinin last Saturday to play in the semi-final with high hopes of advancing to the pennant final.  Kondinin jumped out of the blocks early to gain a good lead on all four rinks. As the game wore on one Kukerin rink clawed their way back to eventually salvage a draw with the last bowl of the game, but the other three rinks were thoroughly out bowled all afternoon and the end result was that Kondinin advanced to yet another final. The second semi-final between Kulin and Newdegate resulted in a convincing win to Kulin.  The pennant final will once again be contested between perennial finalists Kulin and Kondinin at Kulin next Saturday.
 
We wish our four ladies good bowling and good luck next week when they travel to Perth for the annual country week championships, also to Bev and Debbie who have been selected in the Country side to play the metropolitan side on Sunday prior to country-week.

Kukerin Dumbleyung Cricket Club

On Saturday Kukerin-Dumbleyung took on Cuballing in a must win game. The winner was to progress through the finals and the loser’s season would end. The conditions were fantastic for cricket, a good oval, perfect temperature and a nice breeze. The day started off well with Captain Kalan Joyce winning the toss and choosing to bat.
 
With tight bowling by Cuballing, and watchful eyes from the opening pair, the score was slow to move but the wickets were kept intact. At the ten over mark the first wicket fell. Disaster then hit shortly after, when four wickets in four overs put Kukerin-Dumbleyung in a difficult position. At 5-42 it was looking gloomy but then the fightback started to commence. The score pushed up to 59 before another wicket fell and it was looking to be a short game. Luckily for Kukerin-Dumbleyung they had an ace up their sleeve in the form of an injured Kalan Joyce who came in to bat. He was determined to get Kukerin-Dumbleyung back into a reasonable position.  When the eight wicket fell the score was 65. Kalan was joined by Scott Gray whose reputation as a big hitting tail ender is quickly becoming one of a batsmen resilient under pressure. The combined to move the score up 135 though some big hitting from Kalan and some great defence from Scott, with the occasional six thrown in. When Scott fell there was a reasonable score on the board. The last partnership pushed this up to 147 and ate up most of the overs, giving the team a small total to defend.
 
Despite the small total, with finals pressure and a weak lower order, it was a realistic target to defend providing that some early wickets could be found. There are some days where everything seems to happen, and other days where it just doesn’t. Unfortunately it was the latter, and despite some good bowling and fielding, the first wicket didn’t fall until the score was 49. The next wicket fell shortly after but then there was nothing. There was no more wickets, there weren’t any big shots being played but rather Cuballing just meandered along, ticking of the milestones as they went. It wasn’t there were three overs left and Cuballing still needed nine runs that some excitement was felt. Despite the all the previous overs a win was still possible but it was not to be. Cuballing continued to tick along, winning the game with an edge over slip for four.
 
Unfortunately for Kukerin-Dumbleyung the loss meant the end of the season. Despite feelings of disappointment, and questions of what could have been, the boys still managed to get to the pub for some celebrations of what the season was. Thank you to all the supporters who turned up to watch the game, and to the supporters who have turned up throughout the season, it is very much appreciated by the players. Thankyou also to Trish who turns up every week to score and also the other helpers who provide and set up afternoon tea and do all the other jobs around the club. While this year was not successful on the field, off field we have the best arvo teas and most support in the competition. It is not the players, rather all these people that make ours a successful club.
