Apollo A vs. Eltham

Apollo played Eltham in the game for zone. Eltham rolled up to Apollo 30 minutes before the game. So let's fast forward to the game. The game was to be played at Apollo's home ground. Apollo won the toss and decided to field. This would prove decisive in the last innings. Apollo fielded first. So Eltham came up to bat. There was some controversy in the base calling system. An Eltham player kept on lefting their base too quickly. Eltham's captain Jacob also said that hit a foul. Though the umpire's let it go and he was forced out. That left Eltham with no runs in the innings. Apollo batted next and scored 2 runs. Eltham then concentrated a little harder in the second innings because they came blasting out of the blocks with a seven home game. This left the scores 7-2. Apollo though was taken aside by their coach.This seemed to power them with confidence as they score seven runs as well. This meant that the scores were 9-7 in Apollo's favour. Eltham then knuckled down and scored seven runs. The score is now 14-9. This was a world class game. The Apollo coach took the Apollo side to talk again. This gave new courage in their hearts as Apollo really pulled together some big hits and score 7 runs in the innings. The score was now 16-14 at the end of the third innings. The forth innings started with 7 minutes to go until the end of the match. Apollo did their best and ran down the clock. Apollo scored a memorable win. The final score was 16-14. The game had an extra sense of joy to it as there was a debutant in the side. Though that debutant did a lot. His name was Jesse. He deserved the man of the match award.
