The Styleness Manly Warringah Waratahs have named sides for Men’s grades 1-5 for this weekends one day clash with Eastern Suburbs. This week is the return of grade cricket for the new year, after an extended christmas break due to the last round prior to christmas being cancelled.
Due to the current restrictions in place on the northern zone of the northern beaches, anyone in this zone is not able to play this round, affecting the club greatly with multiple players and coaches unavailable.
1st grade retain the same side, as they look to continue their good form in the new year. 2’s welcome back Sam Gainsford and Josh Seward from injury, with Neal Prowse also back into the side, as well as Lachlan Charles who makes his debut in 2’s. 3rd grade replace Charles with Mickey Edwards who is playing as a bat only. Lachie Trewartha also returns to 3’s and Michael Visser returns to the club after hanging the boots up last season.
4’s welcome back Roop Dhillon and are strengthened by the inclusion of past player Billy D’arcy, as they look to get their season back on track. Ethan Buchanan will debut in grade cricket this round in 5’s, a very special achievement considering how young he is. The moment will be even sweeter, as his dad Daryl suits up in 5’s this week as well. Will Akhurst also returns for his first game of the season to bolster the batting lineup.
Good luck to all teams. Go Manly.
