Proserpine Junior Cricket Wrap 12 December

U11 Boys

The U11 Boys headed to Fitzgerald State School this weekend to take on Souths Blue, with Souths winning the toss and choosing to bat first.

With the bat, the boys cruised into their chase with confidence.

The Pitbulls wrapped up their innings on 149, outplaying Souths with both bat and ball—a dominant performance full of bite, discipline, and a few well-aimed yorkers for good measure.

U11 Girls

There was plenty of excitement at Vigaro Fields as the pink-collared Pitbulls lined up against the Walkerston Scrubbies. Captain G. Green won the toss and chose to bat, and the Pitties trotted out ready to make every ball count.

The girls shared the batting beautifully. With extras boosting the total, the Pink Pitties wrapped up their innings on 77.

Once it was time to bowl, A. Quod came charging in and struck twice, picking up 2 for 4 from her two overs.

The fielding was just as strong. C. Goldspink, E. Brazil and A. Quod all grabbed run outs.

A great morning out for the girls, and a match they should be very proud of.

Thanks Scrubbies for another fun game!
Congratulations to Arlow on his first half-century!

U11 Mixed

There was an extra spark in the air at Bucasia on Saturday as the U11 Mixed Pitbulls took on the Norths Devils.

Batting first, the Pitties put together a tidy 122, with every batter contributing. The Pitties then charged out with the ball.

In the end, the Devils edged past the total,but the Pitties played with heart, teamwork and plenty of noise—a great hit-out full of learning moments, confidence boosts and classic junior cricket chaos.

U12

The U12 Pitbulls headed into rooster territory at McLennan Park, ready to take on the Scrubbies on their home turf. The Pitties won the toss and chose to bat first.

They built their innings beautifully, finishing on 6–167 from their 25 overs. Defending 167, the Pitties bowled with purpose.

In the field, J. Hart and N. Camm held their catches, and H. Valmadre’s run-out added pressure at the right time.

Walkerston, however, steadied late and chased the target in the final stages, finishing on 5–174. A strong contest and a great learning game for the young Pitties.

U13

A blue-sky morning at Pinnacle Cricket Club set the stage for a solid hit-out, with Pinnacle winning the toss and sending the Pitties in to bat.

M. Hope was the anchor, crafting a composed 50 not out from 55 balls and finding the rope five times. It was a patient, well-timed innings that kept the scoreboard moving. E. Smith finished unbeaten on 26 from 58 deliveries.

With 117 to defend, E. Smith got things rolling with a sharp 3–24 from four overs. M. Hope backed up his batting with 1–9 from four overs.

Despite the pressure, Pinnacle nudged their way forward and finished on 5–142 by the final over. A competitive game and great signs across the squad.

U14

The U14 Pitbulls were back at home under clear blue skies and warm conditions, welcoming the Sarina Spartans for their first clash on our turf this season. Sarina won the toss and sent the Pitties in to bat—something that suited the boys just fine. The Pitbulls finished their 25 overs on 3–116.

Sarina came out confidently, but the Pitties were ready for a scrap. J. Farley bowled a tight spell of 4 overs for just 9 runs. K. Dibben struck with 1–14, S. Green delivered 1–17, and B. Hetherington produced an excellent four-wicket haul, finishing with 4–19 from 5 overs. K. Whitty added another scalp at the end with 1–1 from his single over.

The fielders backed the bowlers with sharp hands and smart movement. Sarina battled to the final overs but were restricted to 8–116 from their 25, leaving the match finishing level in a well-fought contest.

A tough, competitive outing from both sides, with the Pitbulls proving again that they never give an inch without a fight.
