 First Grade Report vs Easts
Tremendous result for the Gordon First Grade side. Traditionally a tough assignment when playing Easts have had the edge of us for the past two seasons narrowly beating us by 1 wicket on each encounter. This time around Gordon was to be triumphant with a smashing win on what was an unusual day of cricket.
(Rod Hokin in action)
The match was delayed on two occasions. Eventually decided that a 25 over would be had. The rain kept us off until the afternoon as did the state of the wicket. But when the sun came through, Matthew again stepped up and won the toss electing to bowl to the home side. Good decision as there was a little in the wicket that could be used by the Gordon attack.
As it turned out the day was weird as was the procession of Easts wickets that followed. They were in a very difficult position being 5 for 12 a run out amongst that and probably the games greatest catch ever by Rocket Hokin.
 The Gordon side performed well with the ball and in the field and restricted to Easts to 99 off their 25 overs. After the application of the Andy Falk rule the total increased to 118, and after a re-application of the Duckworth Lewis the total returned to 101 for victory. Tribute to Rocket who thought it was amiss from our President.
(Beau Casson in action)
So then came our batting. Excellent again from Casson. Buzz established an excellent foundation and set the innings up for the side along with excellent contributions from Packman and Hokin. Rocket plundered along with Casson and reeled in he Easts total by the 17 over. Gordon 7, Easts nil points.
So now we take on parramatta. Parra stand just 1 point behind us on the table. It will be a difficult encounter as they all are. Good luck to the Club, keep the good results coming.
