The Raydel Manly Warringah Waratahs suit up for Round 2 of the NSW Premier Cricket season against Western Suburbs. This round marks the first 2 day fixture of the season, and for the past 2 seasons for grades 2-5.Everyone will be itching out of their skins to finally return to the format, and some strong sides have been named with multiple returning players.
Last round was hindered by rain, with 1’s and 5’s getting no play in. 3rd and 4th grade both enjoyed comfortable victories, while 2’s unfortunately suffered defeat in a DLS affected match at Chatswood.
1st grade welcome back big NSW quick Mickey Edwards, as they hope to get some play under way for the first time this season. 2’s keeper Matt Brewster returns from his stint in the UK, returning to his usual role at the top of the order and behind the stumps, while Cam Merchant also returns. 3’s welcome powerhouse Bryn Mendel, along with reigning players player Ellis Raymond and Sam Webber behind the pegs.
4th grade skipper Rochford is unavailable, which therefore gives a chance to Dom Wheeler to take over the reigns, as well as the inclusion of Ollie Melville. It will be a special day for 5th grade as the club could see 4 debutants come into the ranks with Reuben Kapoor, Lukas Overhoff, Julian Osbourne, and Flynn Pavely all set to debut.
Good luck to all teams, Go Manly
