Juniors represent the south

Under 13s Ryan and Jack.
FROM January 7-10, more than 100 of Tasmania's elite junior cricketers aged from 11-15 years played on the North-West Coast for Cricket Tasmania's Intrastate Cup. Of these fine young cricketers, five boys from the Derwent Valley and Central Highlands represented southern Tasmania.

These were Jack Stevenson and Ryan Banks-Smith in the Under 13s, Joshua Farrow in the Under 14s and Alex Blair and Jacksyn Mann in the Under 15s. The teams were Southern Storm, Northern Force and North-West Lightning.

Among the many highlights was the victory by the Southern Storm Under 15s to secure the title in the last match. Needing seven runs to win from the final over, the Storm scored the winning runs with just four balls to spare. Jacksyn Mann was at the crease and remained 18 not out off 32 balls. Earlier, wicket keeper Alex Blair took two great catches to also spear the Storm to victory. Alex did well with the gloves, taking a total of four catches and four stumpings over the four matches.

Other highlights included Ryan Banks-Smith's bowling figures in the Under 13s' fourth match, taking 4 for 10 off 5.1 overs and making 17 not out with the bat. Team-mate Jack Stevenson in their first match made 35 runs of 35 balls (three 4s and  two 6s) and then took 1-34 off eight overs and also took a catch. Josh Farrow made 39 runs off 53 balls in the Under 14s' fourth match and in the third match took 2 for 11 off three overs.

All five local boys did a fantastic job with their respective teams and should be congratulated for the way they represented not only the south of the state but also the Derwent Valley and Central Highlands.
