Blacka off to bad start as Captain

Tathra got off to a bad start to the season on saturday going down to Pambula by 65runs at lawrence park. With Pambula winning the toss and selecting to bat. Tathra bowlers controlled the flow of runs by the pambula batsman well restricting there total to only 167 runs on a lightning fast outfield. Tathra's attack were led by new opener Chris O'donell who finished with figures 2-26 of 7 overs. Other Tathra bowler to get wicket's were Wayne Dunham and Chris O'Brien. With Chriso's knee needing a rest after his spell of bowling that brought super sub Conner Finucane onto to the field and with his first touch of the ball helped himself to runout by throwing down the stumps from 50m away. With the Pambula inning brought to a close is was Tathra turn to head out with the bat and lads were confident of being able to chase down the total. But they didin't get of to a good start with Pete Bennett diciding to leave a ball only to find off stump being knocked out of the ground. With most Batsman not bothering the scorers too much It was captain Adam Blacka who led the way with knock of 59 closly followed by sundries as the next highest total of 12. Jack Biilamn was the pick of pambula bowlers picking up 4 wickets for 11 runs. With boys heading down to Eden next week for another tough game hopefully we turn the result around and get the first win up on the board.
