It’s a mantra that saw ORC tie with Bathurst District Cricket Association first grade defending premiers Bathurst City last Saturday and one the Tigers will adopt again this weekend.
ORC held the undefeated Redbacks scoreless in the final over of last Saturday’s match – a combination of good bowling from Jeremy Judge and a catch forcing the tie.
It has ORC sitting in fourth as it heads into this Saturday’s match against St Pat’s Old Boys at Morse Park 1.
Though Pat’s are yet to taste success, ORC skipper Trent Fitzpatrick knows not to take anything for granted.
“I’m wary of Pat’s strong bowling line-up with [Matt] Fearnley, [Ben] Parsons and [Nick] Millar and Adam Ryan will improve them with the bat if he’s back,” Fitzpatrick said. “Our confidence is okay from last week, but we also know we can improve on that re bowling straighter and reducing the amount of extras we give away.”
