No games are scheduled this week in the three Peel Region (ROPSSAA) school indoor cricket competitions, play resumes next week from April 11, 2018. Last week saw Sandalwood Heights win the only game in the Varsity Girls section and move to 2 wins from 2 games. Three schools won to advance to 2/0 records in the Junior Boys section.
The senior boys section saw the most action last week. One of nine games was defaulted but Mentor College bounced back to life next day, after the default loss, to tie with Port Credit. Port Credit’s season began the previous day with a win against Father Michael Goetz. Possibly Port Credit’s win with 5 balls to spare in an innings of 8 overs is a comfortable margin, rather than close, but both teams broke the 50-run mark. Central Peel moved to 2/0 in the North Central Division with 48/0 from 6.3 overs to pass Lincoln M. Alexander’s 46/4 from 8 overs.

Humberview now has 1 win and 1 loss from 2 games.

Father Michael Goetz struck 51/4 from 8 overs but this was insufficient against Port Credit who replied with 52/2 from 7.1 overs in a South-East Region game. Mentor College conceded a home game by default to Gordon Graydon but emerged next day to tie with Port Credit. Port Credit scored 58 all out from 8 overs, while Mentor College clipped 58/2 from 8 overs. Port Credit lead the South East standings thanks to 1 win and 1 tie.

John Fraser moved to 2/0 with a win against Meadowvale and Stephen Lewis also went 2/0 with a win over Rick Hansen and Clarkson registered a win in last week’s South West Region games. Clarkson’s 76/3 from 8 overs was the top score in last week’s Senior Boys matches, the next best being the 69 run-a-side tie between Turner Fenton and St Francis Xavier and John Fraser’s 69/2 (8 overs) when beating Meadowvale’s 39/5 (8 overs). But Erindale did quite well with 68/4 (8 overs) in reply to Clarkson’s 76. Quite well, not enough on the day but scoring runs in a key ingredient in cricket.
There was no game in the North Region last week where Castlebook remain 2/0 with Lincoln M. Alexander 1/0 also unbeaten.
The next games in the Senior Boys competition are on April 11.
