The Mighty Easts Premier Team Win Wilkinson Pearce Cup One Day Final
Easts Premier team played Karori at the Hawkins Basin Reserve in the Wilkinson Pearce Cup One Day Final on Sunday.
Easts came away with a comprehensive win and will now represent Wellington in the National One Day Championship, in Auckland at Easter.
Karori won the toss and elected to bat first. Some excellent all round bowling restricted their runs with youngsters Jamie Gibson & Sean
O’Connor returning good results of 10-0-26-1 and 10-1-20-0. Ricky Joseph got 3-37 off 10 and captain Lance Dry & Mike Burns got 2 wickets each.
Josh Brodie carried his bat through the innings once again ending on 64 not out with Scott Golder & Sam Mclauchlan were the other main contributors
with 49 and 44 not out. The turning point in the run chase was 18 runs scored by Scott Golder, off Simon Baker’s over directly after the 25 over drinks break.
Unfortunately Scott was caught on the last ball of that over but Sam Mclauchlan came in and continued the momento.
Karori 184 - 8 off 50 overs and Easts 186 - 3 off 39.1 overs
Well done Premier Team !!!!

Painful end to season for Josh Brodie
History repeated in painful fashion for young Wellington & Easts opener Josh Brodie yesterday when his season was ended in the nets.
A distraught Brodie was told he would be sidelined for six to eight weeks after his left index finger was broken by a short delivery from Wellington fast bowler Andy McKay at net practice.
It was a broken bone in the same finger that ended Brodie’s season at a similar stage last year as he was pushing for higher honours.

Captain Lance Dry leads by example
Lance had his career best bowling figures 7-55 and first senior century in the two day match against North City on 26th & 27th Feb 2011.
The first day Lance removed the two openers and with some help from Jeetan Patel put Norths on the back foot when the scorebook changed from 0-66 to 4-67. Lance’s 1st innings bowling figures were 27 overs, 9 maidens and 7 wickets for 55 runs.
Chasing 270 for first innings points, Lance joined Josh Mclauchlan (68) at the crease when the score was 238-8. Lance & Josh achieved the target of 270 and progressed to 330-9 scoring 95 runs for the 9th wicket.
Next in at number 11 was Ricky Joseph (47) and Lance and Ricky went about setting a new Premier Mens team 10th wicket partnership record of 112 beating the previous record, set in the 2008 three day final, of 89 held by Lance & Roger Fouhy
Other highlights in the match were Jeetan Patel’s 3-90, Josh Brodie (80) and Scott Golder (70).
We are now in 2nd place in the Pearce Cup and are sniffing around with a chance for the final with 2 matches to play.
Father & son play together for Easts Hazlett Cup Team
The Easts club chairman and Wellington selector Doug Pollock decided to dust off the whites and team up with his 18 year old son Andrew for the two day match against Taita VIC Cycles.
At 44 and fresh up from a spell, Doug hopes he can break his senior club century drought for Eastern Suburbs today. But a few catches off his son's bowling would do nicely instead.
Read more - DomPost - 26 Feb 2011
Match result:- Doug was just nine runs short of his maiden century for Easts scoring 91 with 14 fours but did achieve 128 runs for the match with a 2nd innings score of 37. Son Andrew picked up three wickets.
Plunket Shield huge motivation for Josh Brodie
Expect Josh Brodie to hit the ground running when the Plunket Shield resumes at the Basin Reserve with the Wellington Firebirds hosting the Auckland Aces.
With a strong motivation to help the Wellington Firebirds rediscover their winning formula and a huge desire to play Test cricket for the BLACKCAPS, the left handed opener can’t wait to don the whites and get back into four-day cricket.
“I’m excited about the upcoming Plunket Shield games and it’s a great opportunity for Wellington to finish the season strongly,” he said. “We need to put in some good performances over the next several weeks - the batsmen need to score big hundreds and occupy the crease while the bowlers need to form partnerships and back each other up. If we can have some big sessions and dominate teams then we can climb up the ladder and be in contention for the title at the business end of the season.”

Lance Dry joins celebrated 500 Club
There was little in Lance Dry’s first over in Pearce Cup cricket to suggest he would go on to take 500 wickets. But that’s the milestone the 35-year-old Eastern Suburbs leg spinner reached yesterday, when he dismissed Naenae’s Damian Austin, on home turf at Kilbirnie Park.
In doing so, Dry became the first bowler since Evan Gray (Karori and Johnsonville) to reach the elusive mark.
