RCC's Sunday Night Quiz Nights are back!
Re-Commencing Sunday 4th October 2009
The Common Rockhampton 8pm Start.

Rockhampton CC were delighted to welcome the Gloucestershire U12 representative team and their supporters to the Boundary Field. In what was a great team effort the ground looked immaculate with the umpires commenting especially on the standard of the wicket [thanks Mike T and Rupert F-W] and the facilities overall.

Parents and supporters made full use of the hospitality on offer with the players and coaches giving excellent feedback on the great tea provided by Paul Williams and family.

From a coaching perspective it was good for Rockhampton to see the County Coaches working with the teams and the high standard that they play at. Certainly we have the talent at the club, all that's needed is the right nurturing.

Summarizing what was a long day, Chairman Rupert Fergie-Woods added "this is the first time that we have hosted a representative game for a number of years and it has proved a great success. As we as a club move towards Club mark and Focus Club status hosting these games is an important step in the club achieving these awards. The players, parents and supporters were a delight to have here and they have certainly left RCC with a good impression. We now look forward to welcoming the U13's on the 21st of July and aim to have more support from the Club at that game".

REPORT OF THE GAME:

Welsh spin wins the game

Rockhampton welcomed the GCCC and Welsh U12's to the Boundary Field in this competitive representative match.
Winning the toss, the Welsh batted first and scored 169 for 4 from their 40 overs. Shining with the bat were Matthew Shepherd [71 no] and T Blackwell [31]. Bowling honours were even for the Gloucestershire team all of whom fielded well on a fast outfield.
In response, Gloucestershire got off to a good start and were up with the required run rate until the introduction of the Welsh spinners [M Jones 8 overs, 4 maidens, 2 for 16 and Lewis 8 overs, 1 maiden, none for 21] who restricted the home side to 13 runs from 13 overs in the middle of the innings.
The much needed impetus did come from the lower order but it was too late and Wales came out the winners by 14 runs as the Gloucestershire innings closed at 155 for 7. Highlights of the Gloucestershire innings were Tegg 28, Day 27 and Nott 18.
Rockhampton are now looking forward to welcoming the Gloucestershire U13's on the 21st July who will be playing Worcester.
