20 Dec 09 | Trent Copeland has continued his good form from the Futures League Twenty20 tournament, taking six wickets for St George as they posted a win against Sydney first grade rivals University of New South Wales on Saturday.
Bathurst product Blake Dean Dean, a member of the university side, also showed glimpses of form as he made an unbeaten 31 and avoided becoming another wicket to his former Rugby Union team-mate Copeland.
20 Dec 09 | CITY Colts have scored their seventh win of the Bathurst District Cricket Association first grade season in a heart-stopper against Rugby Union at Loco Oval, proving once more that low-scoring matches are often the most exciting.
Colts won by just eight runs over a Rugby side who had earlier destroyed their top-order with the ball, but then crumbled in their pursuit of Colts’ modest first innings of 112.
20 Dec 09 | CITY Colts have finished a surprising and impressive first half of the Bathurst District Cricket Association second grade season with a second-straight win, this time over Bushrangers at Police Paddock 2 on Saturday.
Lead by an outstanding 111 from Robbie Clifford, Colts cruised to 9-271 in a dominant batting display before crushing Bushrangers with the ball and dismissing them for just 102
20 Dec 09 | A HEROIC 92 from middle-order batsman Troy Oxley was to no avail as Oxford were outlasted by ORC in a see-sawing Bathurst District Cricket Association first grade battle at the Sportsground on Saturday.
Oxley almost pulled off a near impossible run-chase for his side after ORC captain Mick Fardon roared back to life with a brilliant spell of bowling to decimate Oxford’s top order.
16 Dec 09 | WHILE Trent Copeland tries to weigh up his offer to relocate to the Queensland Bulls as well as impress the right people at the Futures League Twenty20 tournament in Melbourne, another former local has taken the event by storm.
ACT Comets representative Jono Dean – a former Bathurst cricketer with the Rugby Union club – has been arguably the most impressive batsman at the tournament to date after two blitzes in the opening two rounds.
16 Dec 09 | THOUGH his team stumbled to their second straight defeat and out of contention at the Futures League Twenty20 championship in Melbourne, Trent Copeland made a strong statement in the last of his side’s preliminary matches yesterday.
Playing Queensland at The Albert Ground, Copeland and his NSW team-mates were humbled by their northern rivals, who made merry with the bat to rack up a strong 3-156 from their 20 overs.
In their reply NSW could only manage 125, dismissed in their final over.
19 Nov 09 | AFTER decades without a woman taking on the men at first grade level in Bathurst cricket, all of a sudden there have been two in as many years after Old Boys’ ‘keeper Ainsley Jones made her top grade debut on Saturday.
With Lisa Griffith not only cracking the top level but maintaining her spot there with Oxford, some new ground was broken for the growing contingent of female players in the district.
19 Nov 09 | ON a day when All Saints’ bowling depth was expected to be tested, Harry Phillips ensured it was with the ball in hand that the Bathurst school dominated against Independent Sporting Association division two cricket rivals Blue Mountains Grammar.
19 Nov 09 | WHEN it comes to the most lethal bowlers in the season 2009/10 Independent Sporting Schools Association first division cricket competition, only one player ranks above Saint Stanislaus’ College talent Jacob Bell, but even his efforts could not save the Bathurst side from defeat on Saturday.
Bell claimed 4-14 off a miserly nine overs in Saturday’s clash with St Patricks College at Stannies’ No 1 oval, but a sixth-wicket stand from the visitors proved to be the match winning play.
17 Sep 09 | THE Bathurst District Cricket Association first grade competition is set to feature a new side in the upcoming season – at least in name anyway.
The existing All Saints’ club has undergone a name-change for season 2009-10 and will play under the moniker of Old Boys Cricket Club as part of a plan to slightly revamp the club and attract new personnel.
