Cricket Wrap

In the final round of GPS Cricket for Season 2019, Terrace played Ipswich Grammar School (IGS), one of the stronger cricketing colleges. With exams taking precedence at this time of the term, only 14 teams were scheduled to play in matches to align with the IGS teams. Unfortunately, overnight and afternoon rain meant that a handful of matches could not proceed, however the matches that were played were all extremely competitive and well fought games of cricket, continuing the trend of high-quality game play this season. 

Terrace were able to win 8 of the 10 matches played against IGS on the weekend. The 1st XI finished off their season in memorable fashion, defeating Ipswich in a compelling rain reduced game on Internationals Oval, highlighted by a century to 1st XI Opening Batsman/Wicket Keeper Tobias Snell. The 2nd XI completed a successful season with a convincing victory that secured the premiership, the first Terrace 2nd XI team to do so in 10 years.

Most pleasing over the past two rounds was to see the camaraderie that has been built across the length of the season both on the field between the players, but also off the field between parents and families. Cricket is a sport which offers so much more than what occurs on the field, and the friendships that have been developed through the season are worth more than any number of runs or wickets taken. The Cricket program thanks the entire Cricket community for their support of the season and the focus now turns to Season 2020 with great anticipation.
