CHAPMAN VALLEY CRICKET CLUB

V
BLUFF POINT
ROUND 3 @ NABAWA 1st November 2008

Chapman Valley 7 for 241 (P Sorgiovanni 97 no, King 23 no, Friday 21, Higgins 21)
Northampton 7 for 228 (P Sorgiovanni 3 for 17, King 3 for 19, Kupsch 2 for 13)

Our first game of the year out at the Valley saw the debut of Justin (the Supersub)
Collins, who answered our call for help at late notice and the return of Colin (Bluey)
Scott.

Batting first The Valley got away to a solid start with a run rate of nearly 7 after the
first 11 overs. Good partnership throughout helped to build a sound foundation for a
big score if somebody could go on with it! Enter Phil (Senior) Sorgiovanni who
batted very well indeed to finish on 97 no! Yep! What a choker! All but one batsmen
made double figures in what was a great team effort.

Lead out on to the field by Tex (who wore the little yellow duck on his hat like he was
born with it!) we soon made inroads into the Pointers line up and had them 4 for 8
after 6 overs. Kingy (3 for 19) and Kupschy (2 for 13) bowled very well! The ball of
the day was a superb inswinger from Kupschy that the batsman left only to have the
top of off stump hit! Senior Sorge again shone in picking up 3 for 17 at the death!
Some would say he was collecting rabbits but we’re not that unkind!

Blue Scott to a fine falling forward catch at gully and Ginge Emerson took a sharp
catch behind the stumps. Once again Frieds was panther like in the field, his pace and
athleticism are a real asset to the team!

It was great to see the Sorgiovanni clan arrive to watch the spectacle and we’d love to
see more of our supporters at the match. Afternoon teas were again wonderful.

We are once again at the Valley next week against Towns.

Congratulations to the award winners.

had another duck since Tex’s effort in round 1!)
