Weekend sport

Just come in from hanging out the washing, largely basketball and cricket uniforms from a full weekend of kids sport. Started on Friday night with Rory's under 16 basketball for the Knox Cougars, they had a good win, 27-14 and Rory had a night out scoring 14 points himself. Saturday morning, all out the door by 7.30, dropped Jack and Rory off at different cricket grounds, then Ella to her Under 8's basketball with the Ferntree Gully Falcons, their team is made up entirely of prep girls and this week they came second, 12-0, but the great news was for the first time in a season and half of basketball she actually touched the ball during the cause of play, in fact 3 times. So she was the winner. Back to the cricket games, Jacks under 13's team bowled the other team out for 75 and Ferntree Gully are 2 for 25 at stumps with Jack on 1 not out, after coming in at 2 for 11, he also took a catch so is pretty happy with himself. Back to Rory's game, under 15's, a one dayer, Ferntree Gully made 2 for 130 in 25 overs with Rory coming in with 2 overs to go and smashing a quick fire 20 not out, then they bowled the opposition out for 72. So they sit undefeated at the top of the ladder. He then went on to play seniors for the FTG 6's in the arvo, was ran out for 4 and took a wicket with his first ball in the bowling department. Meanwhile Jack played his under 14's basketball in the arvo for FTG Falcons and they also won 24-13, and so are well placed coming close to the Chrissie break. No wonder I'm exhausted...
