A GALLANT Molesworth went down to Sorell in the Southern Cricket Association 2nd Grade grand final on Saturday at Sorell. Molesworth tried its hardest to knock off the more fancied Sorell, but it just wasn't to be. Batting first, Sorell reached a handy total of 6 for 225 off its 50 overs (16 extras). In reply Molesworth got off to a bad start, losing captain Mark Reggett without a run on the board. Molesworth finished up 10 for 198 off 47.1 overs (seven extras).
Sorell batting: S. Perkins 42 not out, D. Hudson 41, J. Ferguson 39, Chris Revell 33no, J. Johnson 19, T. Rusher 15, R. Abbott 14. Molesworth bowling: Nathan Eiszele 2 for 33 off six overs, Chris Slater 1 for 17 off six overs (one maiden), Ricky Martin 1 for 30 off five overs, Ben Eyles 1 for 45 off eight overs.
Sorell Bowling: P. Cross 3 for 35 off 8.1 overs (three maidens), D. Hudson 2 for 15 off two overs, R.Iles 2 for 19 off 9 overs (four maidens), T. Rusher 2 for 52 off 10 overs (one maiden), J. Ferguson 1 for 47 off eight overs. Molesworth batting: Brad Coppleman 43, Nick Piuselli 30, Ricky Martin 29, Chris Slater 28, Tim Nichols 21, Nathan Eiszele 16, M. Siely 13.
There was plenty of support for Molesworth at Sorell on Saturday and
no-one was more supportive than their President Dion "Jap" Hay. His
efforts nearly resulted in him losing his voice and his address to his
players after the game was very well done. Hay congratulated the
players on an outstanding effort and asked everyone to not see the
season as a loss but as a big achievement for the club as a whole. Well done Molesworth, there was a lot of character shown
throughout the match and when things looked out of reach you never gave
up.
