The Bowen Under-14 junior cricket team travelled to Home Hill on 30 November 2025 for a competitive match that showcased strong team performances.
Electing to field first, Bowen’s bowlers made an immediate impact. Coen Edgerton and Mitchell Hearn started strongly, keeping the run rate under control, before Coen broke through to dismiss one of the opening batsmen. The team continued to apply pressure with tight bowling and sharp fielding, highlighted by a spectacular diving catch from Matt Brazil. Home Hill struggled, falling to 9 for 60 after 20 overs, before the tail wagged and Khaizan’s determined 40 helped lift their total to 109. Bowen’s leading wicket-taker was Patrick Bowen with three scalps, while Coen Edgerton, Mitchell Hearn, Issac Miller, Matt Brazil, Max Fellows, and James Ross all contributed with wickets.
Bowen’s innings started steadily, with openers Matt Brazil and Joel Walker providing a solid platform. Marshall’s quality outswinger removed Brazil, but Max Fellows made a short, bright cameo, including a crisp cover drive for four. Joel Walker faced 30 deliveries before being retired to take the shine off the new ball. Mitchell Hearn then struck a quick-fire 25 with some powerful hitting, followed by Issac Miller’s composed 20. Patrick Bowen then hit the winning runs, securing victory for Bowen.
Mitchell Hearn was named player of the match for his all-round performance, helping Bowen finish the game strongly and demonstrating the depth of talent in the junior squad.
