After an exhilarating season of cricket, the Grammar Hawks are proud to wrap up a campaign filled with memorable moments and outstanding performances. The windup recently saw the community come together to celebrate the determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship displayed on the field all season long.
A Season of Triumph
The school’s cricket journey reached its zenith with two remarkable achievements:
-
Year 10 Success: Under the expert guidance of Mr Reid, the Year 10 Cricket team clinched the premiership with a dominant season performance.
-
First XI Glory: The First XI Cricket team captured the South-West division of the Kim Hughes Shield, marking their best run in six years, as they remained undefeated throughout the rounds.
Spotlight on the First XI Match
The match against Bunbury Catholic College was a true highlight of the season. A beautiful day set the stage on a stunning straw-coloured wicket—an impressive find by Tom—that witnessed BCC winning the toss and opting to bat. Their early batting gave way to a sharp switch in strategy by the Hawks, with captain Harry B. introducing spin and Luka G. claiming two crucial late wickets. When the Hawks took the crease, they built a steady partnership with Crawford B. and Harry leading the charge. Following Crawford’s dismissal, Will L. joined in, contributing a composed 30-run inning while Harry steadily climbed towards a century. Reaching 98, he unleashed a magnificent shot over midwicket for his maiden century, captivating everyone in the ground. Flynn F. then steered the team home with a masterful finish, securing a win with three overs to spare and earning the Hawks the South-West division title.
Celebrating Individual Brilliance
The windup was more than just a season review—it was a celebration of personal excellence and commitment. Special accolades were handed out to those who stood out:
-
First XI Cricketer of the Year: Harry B.
-
Chloe Piparo Medallist: Molly L.
-
Club Champion: Flynn F.
Each of these awards recognises not only exceptional skill on the field but also the leadership and teamwork that have come to define the Grammar Hawks.
Well done, Hawks!
Congratulations to every player and coach for an unforgettable season. The determination, dedication, and sportsmanship demonstrated throughout the season have set a high standard for the future, and we eagerly await the challenges and victories that lie ahead.
