The young allrounder, who was in Raymond Terrace on Thursday and Friday playing with the Central North Zone Under 15s in a Country Championship which made the final only to lose to City, excelled with the ball in Hunter Valley’s first game on Saturday.
Hunter Valley coach Jason Barry was most impressed with her bowling stint which yielded 1-25 off eight overs.
“She was my pick of the bowlers,” Barry said.
“She’s just coming off playing with the 15s in Raymond Terrace.
“Unfortunately they lost the final but she bowled very well here on Saturday. She’s very consistent and kept the ball up there.”
Hunter Valley had made 231 against Northern Inland and bowled the home team out for 201 for a good win.
Matt Lynch scored 90 in that game for HV and was at it again yesterday, knocking up 98 at Chaffey Park against Mid North Coast.
“He also took 5-33 off his eight overs,” Barry said of a talented young allrounder.
Ebony and her HV Under 14s tackle Scots College at Chaffey Park in their third and final game.
“It’s a great carnival for the kids,” Barry said of a Central North Invitational Cricket Carnival played in three age divisions – Under 13, 14 and 16 – with Northern Inland hosting Hunter Valley, Mid North Coast and Scots College.
