Sunbury Roar T20 

Sunbury Roar’s T20 is back on for the last time at Clarke Oval this season, unless we can manage an upset of T20 Division A3 ladder leaders Oak Park St Francis de Sales this Tuesday night.

Come and see the white ball action this Tuesday night, commencing at 5.30pm.

 

We are Sunbury, hear the mighty Roar!

 

The belief is growing for Sunbury and it’s translating into results in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Steve McNamara Shield.

The Roar entered the Christmas break in fifth spot, but was only percentage off second in its best start to a season for a number of years.

The Roar’s Marty Kelders said the group was really starting together as one and that had been the big difference this season.

“They’ve been really good the past few games,” he said. “They’re in good form.

“We have a group of players that have come through juniors and then into the second side the last few seasons.

“They’ve now come into the first XI and are playing like a team. That’s the biggest challenge.

“The young guys are playing for each other and it’s good to watch.”

On Saturday, Sunbury won the toss and sent in West Newport, who made 165 as they were bowled out in the 60th over on day one of the two-day clash.

Kelders said while it wasn’t their best day in the field, they were still able to get the job done.

“It was an OK day,” he said. “We could have done a little better.

“They had one batter who made 92 and played an exceptional innings, kudos to him.

“Mass (Indika Massalage) is a crafty bowler and was able to hold his nerve with a strong performance on the day.”

Jackson Treweek was the pick of the bowlers for the Roar, taking 4-26 off 8.2 overs.

It meant the Roar had 17 overs to face at the end of day one.

Kelders said it can be precarious having to face overs later in the day with a new ball.

The Roar finished the day at 1-37.

“We will take that,” Kelders said. “At 1-30 odd it’s a little bit better than we expected.

“The guys were able to knuckle down.”

Ethan Connelly will resume at 22 not out, while Divjot Singh will resume on zero.

While the Roar is facing the bottom team, Kelders know they still have a task at hand on day two on the road.

“It’s no easy task,” he said. ”The guys need to play for each other and build partnerships and not take any risks.

“They are a lot better outfit than earlier in the season. They had a lot of players following the cricket [the Ashes] and they are back now.

“We will not take them lightly.”

Kelders said a win here would help set up their season which is proving to be close, with just six points between first and seventh.

“We had some excellent wins against Williamstown CYMS and PEGS, hopefully we can continue that form.”

Sunbury’s second XI was 6223 at stumps against West Newport.

Anthony Riggio made 58 for the Roar.

The second XI also sits fifth on the ladder heading into the back part of the season.

We are Sunbury, hear the mighty Roar!

Sunbury Roar T20 

Sunbury Roar’s T20 campaign took a hit on Tuesday night, but there were plenty of positives as Keilor CC proved why they’re the genuine contenders this season.

In his first game as captain, Jack Narraway won the toss and sent Keilor in—only to watch former Sri Lankan star Dimuth Karunaratne put on a masterclass against our young side. Karunaratne, a three-time ICC Test Team of the Year opener and former Sri Lankan Test and ODI captain, lit up the VTCA Premier Division. Keilor also bolstered their lineup with Footscray Premier opening bat Mitchell Jamieson.

For the Roar, Divjot Singh was outstanding with the ball, finishing with 2/14 from three overs. The fielding was a highlight: Riley Dracchio pulled off two brilliant grabs in the deep and several athletic saves, while Ethan Connolly, Kamran Khan and Indika Massalage brought energy and intent across the park.

The chase didn’t go our way, but there were strong moments. Ethan Connolly opened with confidence against a top-tier attack before being desperately unlucky to be caught and bowled off a blistering drive. Riley continued his form with a handy 23, but fading light and a steep target proved too much.

Against a powerhouse Premier Division side—two grades above us—the Roar showed heart, talent, and plenty of promise. Facing former Test stars and elite players is invaluable, and everyone watching could see just how bright the future looks for the Roar.

Come and witness the T20 action for yourself!

The next T20 match is on Tuesday 16th December vs Druids CC, keep posted on SCC FB for details.

We are Sunbury, hear the mighty Roar!

Sunbury Roar T20 at Clarke this Thursday!

 

The VTCA T20 cricket tournament is arriving in Sunbury for the first time this season on Thursday afternoon, December 13th.

The Roar will face a tough challenge against Westmeadows, a top contender in the VTCA Senior Division.

Can the Roar’s young guns rise to the occasion and pull off an upset?

Come and witness the T20 action for yourself! The game starts at 5:30 PM, but be sure to arrive early to enjoy a drink and some BBQ food.

Let’s all wear our royal blue shirts and caps to support our team, enjoy the view from the licensed club room’s balcony and watch the white ball fly to all parts of the ground.

We are Sunbury, hear the mighty Roar!
