Westfield Cricket Club news: The starting of a Colts section this season to develop young cricketers as the future of WCC is beginning to pay off as we had our first Colt, Milo Stratford, playing in a friendly match today against Mountfield CC. There are three more youngsters waiting to play their part in the future of the cricket club—Zach Turner, Zach Currie and Shae Walsh. It is always daunting playing a first senior game of cricket and Milo played his part on the winning side, including 2 wickets for 8 runs (WCC won by 94 runs), so well done to Milo. We hope to see more good things from you and the other Colts next year!
