2nd Grade: Gretna I started its season with an excellent 125-run win over New Norfolk I at Gretna on Sunday. After playing just the five matches in the past four seasons, Gretna I opener Damian Hack equalled his top score, batting superbly right through the full 50 overs to make 94 runs not out. Hack hasn't played a full season since 2007-08. He showed great patience, finding all the gaps around the ground in what was one of the best returns to cricket seen in some time. Hack was well supported by keeper Glenn Blackwell with 38 runs and captain Ben Rainbird with 26.
Gretna finished 8 for 240 off 50 overs (29 extras). Of the New Norfolk bowlers, Ashley Morgan did well taking two wickets as did Rohan Heron. In reply New Norfolk made 10 for 115 off 33.1 overs (14 extras). Rohan Heron batted well for the Red Caps making 37 runs while Stewart Rice chipped in with 23. The Gretna bowlers gave very little away in a great display of bowling with Aaron Maddox leading the way and taking three top-order wickets.

While on 91 Hack collided heavly with team-mate Aaron Maddox while going for a run. Maddox got to his feet and made it to the crease, but Hack was just about out cold in the middle of the pitch. When helped to his feet he regained his composure and batted out the remaining two overs. Great sportsmanship was shown by the New Norfolk team who could of easily ran Damien out, but instead came to assistance, a real credit to you all, well done. Congratulatons to Gretna Club game milestones - Mathew Burns 300th and Corey Ransley 100th.
