The next 2 Saturday’s see’s the Waratahs take on Sutherland in Round 6 action of the Sydney Premier Cricket Competition.
With Sutherland currently sitting in 14th spot on the Club Champs, it may be a mismatch when compared to our 3rd placing, however we all know that the Sharks are a tough opponent and will be looking to climb the Club Champs ladder.
As no doubt most clubs for this round, the Waratahs are missing many players from the various grades, mainly as a result of the end of the HSC. The top 2 grades are fairly static, however the lower grades have seen plenty of changes. In fact, our 5th grade side only has 1 player remaining from last weeks round 5 victory against Gordon.
But with the players coming into 5th grade names such as Warren Evans, Will Outred and Ross Trewartha, there is still plenty of depth, quality and experience.
Of course, this also means we have various debutants for the Tahs. 4 Juniors come into our 5th grade side, all members of our next generation of Waratah stars. Joel Davies (Harbord), Oscar Lucius (St Augustines), Lachie Molyneux (Wakehurst) and Jack Hobson (Harbord) all come into the side.
It is also great to have Jarrod Ninnes return from injury in the 5th grade side as well. Jarrod has been out fior the first 5 rounds with a back injury, but he is primed and ready to make a run up the graders in the coming months.
We are also very pleased to name our first ever Brewers Shield side, the first team we have ever put into the womens U17 competition.
