Season Report:
A brilliant display of cricket from Oakey and Millmerran that had us all on the edge of our seats!
There was proof in the saying “Catches win matches!”.
All of you should be proud of yourselves and of how you played today as a team supporting one another during all stages of the game.
What a great season you have all had learning and growing playing the game you love under the guidance of Coach Nick.
Well done kids.
